00:00:00Well, MJF putting Hangman Adam Page and Jon Moxley on notice as he is now the number one contender.
00:00:15And fans, DraftKings Sportsbook is an official partner of AEW.
00:00:20DraftKings Sportsbook, the crown is yours.
00:00:24So we are officially done with the Outrunners.
00:00:32And like I said earlier this week, FTR will be watching the AEW World Tag Team Championship match up close and in person.
00:00:39But one caveat breaking news, FTR, they will be the special guest commentators for that Tag Team Championship match.
00:00:47So, to the champions, Hurt Syndicate, to JetSpeed, to Christian Cage, and the Ring of Honor World Television Champion, Nick Wayne,
00:00:57FTR says they hope that everyone just has a good time.
00:01:02Top Guys Out.
00:01:05Well, apparently we're going to need a larger desk because FTR will be joining us here for the AEW World Tag Team Championship three-way match later on tonight.
00:01:17And I know Tony and Nigel, it's got to be some very tough feelings about that.
00:01:23Yeah, to hell with them.
00:01:24Unfortunately, Tony, I'm not going to be here to protect you.
00:01:27So, Scalibur, I'll leave in your paper way.
00:01:30And Taz will help me out, too, I'm sure.
00:01:32Well, fans, moving on.
00:01:35Coming up next, the TNT Championship four-way match presented by iDrink, Daniel Garcia, Dustin Rhodes, Kyle Fletcher, Sammy Guevara.
00:01:44All four men vying for the now vacant TNT Championship.
00:01:53Tonight at All-In Texas, a new TNT champion will be crowned.
00:01:57Four great athletes will meet and one man will leave Arlington with the title around his waist.
00:02:02Kyle Fletcher, the Proto-Star, is the number one contender.
00:02:04And had close calls with champion Adam Cole chasing the title.
00:02:07He earned the shot tonight before Cole vacated.
00:02:09Daniel Garcia has history with Adam Cole and Kyle Fletcher.
00:02:13He has held the TNT Championship for months and made great defenses, but lost a dynasty to Adam Cole and the Collision 100 main event.
00:02:20Sammy Guevara is a former three-time champion looking to make history becoming the first four-time champion.
00:02:25And has reinvented himself as ROH World Tag Team Champion.
00:02:28His partner, Dustin Rhodes, is also in the match.
00:02:31And he's an ROH Double Champion, holding one half of the World Tag Team titles and one-third of the six-man championship.
00:02:38Dustin is a legend of wrestling and still has never won any title in AEW, with the TNT title evading him many times.
00:02:45Tonight, one man will leave Arlington as the new TNT Champion.
00:02:49Due to injuries, this man suffered this past Thursday night at the hands of Kyle Fletcher.
00:03:14Adam Cole, not medically cleared, and they are forced to vacate the TNT Championship.
00:03:23Ladies and gentlemen, Adam Cole!
00:03:28And Nigel, this has to be an extremely difficult walk to the ring for Adam Cole.
00:03:34See on his face, can't you?
00:03:36The emotion.
00:03:37Clear as day.
00:03:39Water in his eyes as well.
00:03:41It's going to be absolutely heartbreaking after silence, all the doubters, and the back from his injury.
00:03:58Unable to add any more length to his reign as TNT Champion.
00:04:02But, all the heads have prevailed, certainly.
00:04:07You can say what you want about professional wrestling, what this is, what this isn't.
00:04:12The very physical realities.
00:04:17Clear as day, Adam Cole.
00:04:19And I think for his health, the title suspended.
00:04:23For now, we will get a new TNT Champion shortly.
00:04:26Shortly.
00:04:27It's really hard to put this into words.
00:04:57But I wanted to come out here and talk to you all.
00:05:00Very sorry that I let everybody down.
00:05:03I can't wrestle tonight.
00:05:05I have some health issues going on at the moment that not only will not allow me to defend this championship tonight, but I am going to be gone for a while.
00:05:16And I don't even want to think about talking about retiring because I am not in the right headspace.
00:05:25But I wanted to have this opportunity to come out and talk to you all if this is indeed goodbye, because you are the best damn wrestling fans in the world.
00:05:54Since I was nine years old, I've always dreamed of being a professional wrestler.
00:05:55It's all I've ever, ever wanted to do.
00:05:56And all of you made that dream come true.
00:06:05Since I was nine years old, I've always dreamed of being a professional wrestler.
00:06:22It's all I've ever, ever wanted to do.
00:06:24And all of you made that dream come true for me.
00:06:26You've supported me across multiple promotions all over the world.
00:06:30You have no idea how much that means to me.
00:06:37With my, with my highest moments and recently my lowest moments, all of you have been so supportive
00:06:45every step of the way.
00:06:47And dammit, I will love you forever.
00:06:49Thank you so much.
00:06:56I don't want to take up any more of your time because we have the best damn wrestling
00:07:03pay-per-view you've ever seen happening right now.
00:07:06We're going to have a new, a new TNT champion tonight.
00:07:11Once again, you will continue to watch AEW do pay-per-view like nobody else in the world does.
00:07:17And from me, honestly from everybody at AEW, thank you for making AEW what it is.
00:07:30Thank you for making AEW so special.
00:07:32And thank you all so damn much for changing my life.
00:07:36I love you always.
00:08:00Let's go! Let's go!
00:08:30Very difficult news to deliver for Adam Cole. We wish him all the best in his recovery and we most certainly hope that this is not a goodbye just to see you later.
00:08:47The title reign did not last that long and of course the TNT Championship has changed hands many, many times, but I thought it was a great title reign. I thought he was a great champion. He represented, obviously represented TNT with respect, with pride. Great kid.
00:09:17Well over a decade and...
00:09:25It's tough as that news is, is to hear, is to stomach. I know Adam Cole...
00:09:33One of the toughest men in our life.
00:09:37And the Colby for the title.
00:09:51The Colby for the title.
00:09:53The Colby for the title.
00:09:56I think Reid Lips there...
00:10:11but heartfelt sentiments certainly from Daniel Garcia who's suffered with injuries himself in his career.
00:10:18We all know the dangers and the risks associated with it doesn't make it any easier.
00:10:41The 187 pounds, Daniel Garcia!
00:10:48Daniel Garcia, as you mentioned, former TNT champion.
00:10:51The man Adam Cole defeated to win that title now with a chance to reclaim the TNT championship.
00:10:59I'm sure not under the circumstances that Daniel Garcia wished for,
00:11:03but in this sport you cannot take opportunities like this for granted.
00:11:09So happy!
00:11:20Next, from Houston, Texas, weighing 203 pounds,
00:11:24here's one-half of the Ring of Honor World Tag Team champion,
00:11:28the Spanish God,
00:11:31Sammy Guevara!
00:11:35Sammy Guevara, proud Texan, second man to enter this four-way match here,
00:11:40joined here at the desk by Daddy Magic, Matt Menard.
00:11:42And Matt, I have to ask you, could you,
00:11:45could you care to reveal what you and Adam Cole shared at the top of the round?
00:11:50Just a little, a little I love you, and that was about it, right?
00:11:54Life goes on right here, I hate to sound cold with it, you know?
00:11:59What's that expression?
00:12:01You stay ready so you don't have to get ready.
00:12:03And that is the epitome of this right here tonight, boys.
00:12:05Yeah, absolutely, an opportunity here that nobody had any idea was gonna be.
00:12:11Certainly not this man.
00:12:21Next, from Austin, Texas, weighing 230 pounds,
00:12:26he is the Ring of Honor World Tag and World 6th Fantastic Champion,
00:12:31The Natural, Dustin Rhodes!
00:12:39To Nigel's point, Tony, we began our night with the all-in Texas zero-hour broadcast.
00:12:45And Sammy Guevara, Dustin Rhodes, alongside Ross and Marshall Von Erich,
00:12:50they were victorious to start out the night,
00:12:53but now returning to the ring to compete against one another,
00:12:59as well as two other opponents for the TNC Championship.
00:13:03And they wrestled last night as well in Supercard of Ony.
00:13:07That's, that's what you'd call just being gamers and nothing else.
00:13:12They're wanting to win a title.
00:13:14There's a hug.
00:13:15They know they'll probably have to do battle before this is over.
00:13:18Not the first time they've done battle twice.
00:13:21Rhodes and Guevara have clashed one time for the TNC title.
00:13:26Guevara, a three-time former champion.
00:13:29Will we see him claim the gold again tonight?
00:13:33In a star from the stars,
00:13:37we're both the one that shines the price.
00:13:42PROTO STAR!
00:13:49From Sydney, Australia, weighing 239 pounds,
00:13:54the PROTO STAR, Kyle Blanchard!
00:14:02The number one contender for the TNT Championship.
00:14:06And I have to imagine the favorite in this match.
00:14:13But the thing you have to remember is Daniel Garcia, former TNT champion.
00:14:17Sammy Guevara, three-time former TNT champion.
00:14:21And the natural, Dustin Rhodes, has come within a hair spread multiple times
00:14:27throughout his AEW career of claiming that TNT Championship.
00:14:32That was a semifinalist in the original TNT Championship tournament.
00:14:35That was five years ago.
00:14:37At the towel throw man, he's challenged three other times for the title as Dustin.
00:14:42Remember to be the number one contender for this match.
00:14:47Cal Fletcher beat Daniel Garcia.
00:14:50Sure did.
00:14:52That was one week ago.
00:14:54Daniel Garcia still not 100% from that contest.
00:14:57I understand that.
00:14:59And Daniel Garcia was very open about his run of bad luck as of late
00:15:05and how things just weren't clicking for him.
00:15:09But right now, Garcia with a massive opportunity to turn things around in one fell swoop.
00:15:15You got to just put everything behind you.
00:15:16Have a short memory and get to work.
00:15:18And that's what we're going to see right here, right now.
00:15:20I think you're right though, Kyle Fletcher.
00:15:22No question.
00:15:23He's got to be the favorite here.
00:15:25Sammy is coming with so much momentum.
00:15:28And fans, this TNT Championship four-way match is presented by Eidrex.
00:15:35Fletcher starting things out with the natural Dustin Rhodes.
00:15:41Dustin, the boot.
00:15:42Dustin and Sammy actually working in concert.
00:15:44This is the third match for these guys within 24 hours, right?
00:15:47Absolutely it is.
00:15:48Oh!
00:15:49Flying knee there from Dustin Rhodes.
00:15:52Sammy Guevara standing moonsault press.
00:15:54Kyle Fletcher retreats to the outside.
00:15:58Remember, his first pinfall or submission.
00:16:02The man that gets that will be the next TNT champion.
00:16:06But right now, Garcia and Guevara trying to push the pace here for quick covers,
00:16:13quick pinfall attempts.
00:16:15Fletcher on the outside.
00:16:17He's just waiting.
00:16:18He realizes he's very unlikely to get a three count of this juncture.
00:16:22Well, that's smart.
00:16:24You want to pick your spots.
00:16:25Double drop kick right there.
00:16:27I would imagine being wrestling here in Texas for Sammy Guevara,
00:16:35even though it's the third time within 24 hours.
00:16:38We're getting cute here, Tony.
00:16:39Yeah, we're getting cute.
00:16:40Of course, former members of the JAS here.
00:16:43I was gonna say, Danny Magick are much like yourself.
00:16:47Garcia, Guevara, no strangers to one another.
00:16:50Pick him in the face, Danny.
00:16:52You didn't like that dance, I recall, when it first came out.
00:16:55The fans love it.
00:16:56I'm not a huge fan of it.
00:16:57Okay.
00:16:58Sammy gonna try.
00:16:59There you go.
00:17:00That's a Texas version.
00:17:02Fletcher back into the proceedings.
00:17:06Sent into the rubs, runs through.
00:17:08Oh, yeah!
00:17:09While Danny and Sammy smokes.
00:17:11A lot of intensity on the face of Kyle Fletcher,
00:17:16but a lot of right hands on the face of the natural,
00:17:18or on the fist, on the face of Sammy Guevara.
00:17:21Absolutely.
00:17:22He's certainly gonna be feeling it tomorrow.
00:17:24He's had his opportunities that we've talked about for the TNT child before.
00:17:29But this one coming seemingly out of thin air, you know.
00:17:34Oh!
00:17:35Might just be the one, they say.
00:17:37When God closes a door, he opens a window.
00:17:40You know, I saw, I saw, I'm sorry, Nigel, I saw Dustin when he was,
00:17:44when he first arrived at the arena this morning around 8 a.m. local time,
00:17:48and I asked him, I said, how you feeling after last night?
00:17:50He said, man, I'm sore.
00:17:51Understandably, right?
00:17:52I mean, you're swore after a match.
00:17:54That was after one match.
00:17:55That's right.
00:17:56Little did he know that he had two matches coming up today.
00:18:00It's not just one match, it's the accumulation over his Hall of Fame worthy career.
00:18:05Kyle Fletcher gaining control of this match, occupying the center of the ring.
00:18:14And you've got to be impressed with Kyle Fletcher.
00:18:16I'm not a fan of him personally, but my God, does he have it together right now.
00:18:21Incredible shape.
00:18:22He's built up so much momentum here.
00:18:25He's starting to develop or garner a reputation for big matches like his former friend,
00:18:31Will Ospreay, to whom he took to social media saying,
00:18:35Ascend and surpass.
00:18:37Now that he has no longer any need for Ospreay's friendship.
00:18:44He just got decked, man.
00:18:46Look at that.
00:18:47He's waddling.
00:18:48Oh, boy.
00:18:49There you go.
00:18:50We're just going to trade shots here on the apron.
00:18:52Remember, notice qualification, a four-way match.
00:18:55They can fight on the outside.
00:18:56The match has to be won inside the ring.
00:19:01Sure.
00:19:02Oh, no.
00:19:03Look out here.
00:19:04Daddy, come on!
00:19:05Oh, my God!
00:19:06The Spanish fly off the apron.
00:19:10As Garcia crashes and burns, but Guevara not faring much better.
00:19:16A little game on those mats on the outside.
00:19:18Just watch.
00:19:19Oh, could you see the impact there?
00:19:22I mean, this works out for both guys in the ring right now.
00:19:25This is Kyle Fletcher.
00:19:26The scoop.
00:19:27Oh, the Michinoku driver.
00:19:29Planning Dustin Rhodes.
00:19:30Oh, but Dustin, a quick kick out.
00:19:31Trying to show something there.
00:19:33Rhodes, the veteran.
00:19:34I did it ever, though.
00:19:35Fletcher made his entrance to this match.
00:19:39New track by his friends, Hot Mulligan.
00:19:42Now, feeling confident.
00:19:45Feeling like he is all but the next TNT champion.
00:19:51I mean, he is taking his time here, isn't he?
00:19:54He's certainly the number one contender.
00:19:56And Dustin Rhodes, when you talked about the accumulation of injuries.
00:20:00Dustin, he's been very, very open when talking backstage.
00:20:03Both of his knees in terrible shape, his shoulder in terrible shape.
00:20:07Yet he has the grit, the heart, the tenacity to fight through it all.
00:20:11But can he endure this figure four from Kyle Fletcher?
00:20:16But Garcia.
00:20:17What have we got going here?
00:20:19Double figure four.
00:20:21Doing figure four leg locks indeed.
00:20:23How about this?
00:20:24Who's going to give him?
00:20:25Squeeze it, Danny.
00:20:26Well, you mentioned Dustin Rhodes.
00:20:29Dustin Rhodes, 36 years, 2,800-plus matches.
00:20:33Five different decades he's wrestled.
00:20:36A champion over and over again.
00:20:39Hell of a career.
00:20:41And that has certainly put a lot of toil on his body.
00:20:45You can see the knees of Rhodes there taped up underneath.
00:20:50Hold on a second.
00:20:51Reversing.
00:20:52Fletcher and Garcia now finding themselves.
00:20:55Don't you tap.
00:20:56Don't you tap.
00:20:57You're a pussy, don't you?
00:20:58Oh!
00:20:59Look at this, guys!
00:21:03It was locked in the inverted figure fours.
00:21:06And now, finally, Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara separate.
00:21:12After Fletcher and Garcia just paint brushing one another.
00:21:15Daniel Garcia said, no, I'm not going to tap you, tap.
00:21:18That was tremendous.
00:21:19One has to think, though, fellas.
00:21:20We've talked about it.
00:21:21This really is Kyle Fletcher's match to lose.
00:21:26And he's got to feel gypped a little in a sense of he prepared for his one-on-one contest.
00:21:31Well, there is that.
00:21:32And he also, it was very emotional for Fletcher.
00:21:35He talked about all in Wembley Stadium two years ago.
00:21:40Feeling as though Adam Cole embarrassed him on that stage.
00:21:44Taking the Ring of Honor.
00:21:45Tag team titles from him at that point.
00:21:49This is personal for Fletcher.
00:21:54Uppercut.
00:21:55Oh!
00:21:56Oh!
00:21:57Sammy Guevara thought he had matters handled with Daniel Garcia.
00:22:00But Fletcher out of nowhere.
00:22:01And now Fletcher.
00:22:03That's such a long reach for those legs.
00:22:05That's Fletcher.
00:22:06Fletcher spilling to the floor.
00:22:07And now Sammy Guevara looking to go to work.
00:22:09Back inside the ring.
00:22:10The springboard.
00:22:11Oh!
00:22:12He goes to the outside!
00:22:13That's gone!
00:22:14Wow!
00:22:15I didn't see it coming so certainly.
00:22:17Kyle Fletcher was on the way.
00:22:19That's what it's going to take here.
00:22:20You've got to take a risk if you want to win it all.
00:22:22And Sammy's been known to take crazy risks.
00:22:24We know that from the very, very first match ever in AEW on TNT.
00:22:30Daniel Garcia though.
00:22:32With Sammy Guevara in his grip.
00:22:34Garcia.
00:22:35Be careful up there Danny.
00:22:36Dustin's behind you.
00:22:38Garcia making the climb to the tippy top.
00:22:42Big time superplex!
00:22:45He likes to keep these going.
00:22:46Garcia.
00:22:49High risk.
00:22:50High impact.
00:22:51Turns the hips.
00:22:52Pumps the legs.
00:22:53And now.
00:22:54Looking maybe for a second one on Sammy Guevara.
00:22:58Much damage to Guevara.
00:22:59But it's damage to Garcia as well.
00:23:01Come up there!
00:23:02Alright!
00:23:03Woo!
00:23:07Garcia.
00:23:08Well Danny was in a lot of pain.
00:23:09I could see through that.
00:23:11Yeah taking a moment.
00:23:12We're going for three here.
00:23:13Yep.
00:23:14To collect himself before looking for the third.
00:23:17I mean that is not easy.
00:23:18To lift a guy like that three times in a row.
00:23:21The impact.
00:23:22As Fletcher intervenes.
00:23:23And I just noticed in the bottom corner of your screen.
00:23:26Dustin Rhodes.
00:23:28Talked about his knee injuries.
00:23:29He's trying to work out.
00:23:31Some kinks.
00:23:33While these three men are battling.
00:23:35As Garcia looks for a.
00:23:36Got a double here!
00:23:37Darn!
00:23:38Superplex it.
00:23:39It's a two for one.
00:23:40Woo!
00:23:41Get a pin Danny!
00:23:42Get a pin!
00:23:44Get a pin!
00:23:46Garcia.
00:23:47Covers.
00:23:48But Guevara.
00:23:49Able to kick out.
00:23:50Awkward looking cover from Garcia.
00:23:52And I dare say that Garcia injured himself slightly.
00:23:56Just watch here.
00:23:57All three men land.
00:23:58Look for the hips.
00:23:59For the legs.
00:24:00Ooh!
00:24:01Clattering.
00:24:02Into the match.
00:24:03Must have pulled his back.
00:24:04Pulling those two up.
00:24:05Right there.
00:24:08Wow.
00:24:09Guevara back to his feet.
00:24:10But Garcia.
00:24:11Continuing to apply pressure.
00:24:13One, two, three.
00:24:15You've seen.
00:24:16Austin.
00:24:17Rabbit punches to the back of the neck.
00:24:18Got hit.
00:24:19You've seen Garcia.
00:24:21Use this big series of punches.
00:24:23Give it to him Danny!
00:24:25I gotta say Garcia's got a lot of life in this match.
00:24:28I think it's because he realizes he's got a second chance now.
00:24:30Absolutely, Tony.
00:24:31After losing last week on collision.
00:24:33Didn't think he had a shot at the TNT title.
00:24:35Excalibur.
00:24:36He's got a shot here tonight to get it back.
00:24:38Certainly does!
00:24:40But so does the natural Dustin Rhodes.
00:24:42A chance to claim the TNT Championship for the first time.
00:24:46The smart veteran waiting in the wings.
00:24:49Pick the spot.
00:24:51Fletcher.
00:24:54Trying to take it.
00:24:55Oh!
00:24:56Dustin!
00:24:57The Destroyer!
00:24:58Well, this could be in here.
00:25:01And cross!
00:25:02Rhodes!
00:25:03No, no, no, Danny!
00:25:06Oh!
00:25:07Oh, that was close.
00:25:08That was close.
00:25:09Dustin gave his big shot that time.
00:25:10Go right...
00:25:11It's gotta go right back at him again.
00:25:12He waits for it.
00:25:13He waits for it.
00:25:14For Rhodes, who's come close before, as we talked about,
00:25:17to winning the TNT title.
00:25:19Will this work out any more differently?
00:25:21Oh, wait a second!
00:25:24Oh, no.
00:25:26Setting up.
00:25:27Fletcher!
00:25:29Dustin, with Fletcher in the ropes.
00:25:33I mean, it's a four-way match, Tony.
00:25:34You identified it.
00:25:35Yep.
00:25:36This is not where you want to be!
00:25:37No disqualification, but the...
00:25:39Oh!
00:25:40Danny Garcia intervenes!
00:25:41I don't want you to do it.
00:25:42Don't do that, Tim.
00:25:43Don't do that, Tim.
00:25:44What?
00:25:45Danny, what do you care?
00:25:47Yeah, this is perplexing, really.
00:25:50I see it.
00:25:51I don't know.
00:25:52Hold on.
00:25:53Dustin Rhodes short, and...
00:25:55Well, Danny wants to do it.
00:25:56Is that it?
00:25:57I don't know about turning your back like that.
00:25:58No!
00:25:59Oh!
00:26:00Garcia delivers an unnatural kick of his own!
00:26:03I think Danny was saying,
00:26:04Give me the first shot!
00:26:14Sammy Guevara.
00:26:16Here we go!
00:26:17Oh!
00:26:18There's no need for this!
00:26:19This is just vicious!
00:26:20Come on!
00:26:21Unusual punishment, Fletcher.
00:26:23It's a good time!
00:26:24Yes!
00:26:25Don't you kind of wish it was Don Callis tied up in those ropes?
00:26:28Now, that would be something.
00:26:29That would be something.
00:26:31And the fans behind Dustin now.
00:26:33They want to see it!
00:26:38Oh!
00:26:39A message delivered on a number of levels by Dustin Rhodes.
00:26:44Oh, down goes the protostar great.
00:26:47Oh!
00:26:48Oh, no!
00:26:49Wait, was that a miscalculation?
00:26:50Oh, no.
00:26:51I had very friendly fire.
00:26:52I think Garcia stepped out of the path of Sammy Guevara, but now...
00:26:56Turn him!
00:26:57Turn him!
00:26:58Turn him over, Danny!
00:26:59Garcia!
00:27:00Guys, this is our chance here!
00:27:01Yeah, that's right.
00:27:02You've got Dustin down.
00:27:03You've got the protostar on the outside!
00:27:04This is it now!
00:27:05Garcia turns the corner.
00:27:06Sammy Guevara trapped on the Boston Crab.
00:27:10And you notice how Garcia, Nigel, he's rocking back on those heels,
00:27:13trying to apply even more pressure to the spine, the legs.
00:27:16Pull it, Danny!
00:27:17Pull it!
00:27:18Sit deep.
00:27:19You can see Guevara twisting to his shoulder to take the pressure off with the hips.
00:27:25Good call, Nigel.
00:27:26The up kick delivered by Sammy.
00:27:30And now, Guevara.
00:27:33He got here, he's looking.
00:27:35G-T-H!
00:27:36One!
00:27:37Two!
00:27:38Oh!
00:27:39Dustin!
00:27:40Roads wants the title.
00:27:41Well, what do you expect, Sammy?
00:27:42Well, exactly!
00:27:43It's every man for himself.
00:27:44We've said it so many times, it's repetitive, but yes!
00:27:47You can't get mad at this.
00:27:48I mean, this is what it is.
00:27:49Well, Roads was saying, you kicked me in the corner.
00:27:51A little bit of payback there.
00:27:52Boy, it's not everything's personal here.
00:27:53They're gonna go at it, though.
00:27:54Oh!
00:27:55He said, this might be my only shot.
00:27:56Here we go!
00:27:57And now Garcia, too!
00:27:58Dustin got bumped to the head hard that time.
00:27:59Yeah.
00:28:00Sammy and Dustin, their heads clattered, and now Sammy, for a suplex of his own.
00:28:03Stringing them together here.
00:28:04Garcia trying to fight against it, but Sammy.
00:28:05No snap suplex that time.
00:28:06You can feel it.
00:28:07This thing's starting to break down now.
00:28:08That is anybody's match at this point.
00:28:09Oh!
00:28:10Oh!
00:28:11Oh!
00:28:12Oh!
00:28:13Oh!
00:28:14Oh!
00:28:15Oh!
00:28:16Oh!
00:28:17Oh!
00:28:18Oh!
00:28:19Oh!
00:28:20Oh!
00:28:21Oh!
00:28:22Oh!
00:28:23Oh!
00:28:24Oh!
00:28:25Oh!
00:28:26Oh!
00:28:27Oh!
00:28:28Oh!
00:28:29Oh!
00:28:30Oh!
00:28:31Oh!
00:28:32Oh!
00:28:33Oh!
00:28:34Oh!
00:28:35Oh!
00:28:36Oh!
00:28:37Oh!
00:28:38Oh!
00:28:39Oh!
00:28:40Oh!
00:28:41Oh!
00:28:42Oh!
00:28:43Oh!
00:28:44Oh!
00:28:45Oh!
00:28:46Oh!
00:28:47Oh!
00:28:48Oh!
00:28:49Oh!
00:28:50Oh!
00:28:51Oh!
00:28:52Oh!
00:28:53Oh!
00:28:54Oh!
00:28:55Oh!
00:28:56Oh!
00:28:57Oh!
00:28:58Oh!
00:28:59Oh!
00:29:00Oh!
00:29:01Oh!
00:29:02laying away just like him to up for us.
00:29:04Oh!
00:29:08Nope.
00:29:10Swing and a miss by Guevara.
00:29:12It was Fletcher who injured Adam Cole.
00:29:16And the looks of things
00:29:17is going to hurt some other people here.
00:29:20How explosive is Kyle Fletcher?
00:29:21And Dustin Rhodes might have just been about to go out,
00:29:24but Kyle Fletcher catching him on the descent.
00:29:28Sammy and Danny are done for here.
00:29:31And Fletcher.
00:29:33Again, steaming in with the high boot.
00:29:37Wait a second.
00:29:39Fletcher lined up for the brain buster,
00:29:41but he spots Sammy Guevara!
00:29:44Coming in and Guevara catches him in a cutter.
00:29:47Picking up the loose change here.
00:29:49Piledriver delivered by Garcia.
00:29:51And Dustin Rhodes, the crucifix, the cover, Garcia, the escape.
00:29:55Great job, Dustin, getting in there.
00:30:00All right.
00:30:00Oh my God!
00:30:01Oh my God!
00:30:03Opening up for those Oza hand shots.
00:30:06Oh, Sunset flip.
00:30:07No, Garcia rolls through.
00:30:10Dragon Tamer.
00:30:11Keep it on!
00:30:12On the natural!
00:30:13This time he's got it on fully.
00:30:15That is a big man to have that.
00:30:16Hold on.
00:30:17Those knees of Dustin have been punished, Tony.
00:30:19And nobody on the outside to help him.
00:30:22Everybody is down.
00:30:23The pain etched on the face of Rhodes.
00:30:26Not just the lower back, but the midsection.
00:30:29The ribs so difficult to breathe in this position.
00:30:33Third match in 24 hours.
00:30:35It's amazing.
00:30:35You know he's laboring.
00:30:36Oh, wait.
00:30:37But Dustin.
00:30:38Oh my God!
00:30:41What?
00:30:41Here's your winner and the new TNT champion, the national, Dustin Rhodes!
00:30:54I said we might see something special, and it doesn't get much more special than that.
00:31:01He did it!
00:31:03Dustin Rhodes did it in Texas!
00:31:06Hell yeah!
00:31:07For the first time in his career, Dustin Rhodes can call himself a champion in all elite wrestling
00:31:22as Globe Life Field rises to their feet.
00:31:27How many times did he fall short?
00:31:29But he did it to Christian, to Brody, in the tournament!
00:31:40Overcome with emotion.
00:31:43Rhodes finally ascends the title.
00:31:46Yes, sir, on the biggest stage.
00:31:49We all thought Fletcher was leaving with the TNT title.
00:31:54The odds aren't favored, Nigel.
00:31:55By, I think, almost any account.
00:31:57When Dustin Rhodes defies the odds, I've noticed defies age, defies expectations, and claims
00:32:09the TNT championship here in Texas.
00:32:12This is one of the best moments we've ever witnessed, ever.
00:32:16I've known this man since he was a very young boy.
00:32:20They had a front page story in the Dallas Morning News on the Rhodes family yesterday.
00:32:25His nephews are out with him.
00:32:28Yeah, Wayne and Wyatt Rhodes.
00:32:31Grandsons of the late, great Dusty Rhodes.
00:32:33The Von Eriks, Ross, and Marshall.
00:32:36Also, out to the ring to celebrate.
00:32:39Unbelievable.
00:32:39Three matches in 24 hours.
00:32:41It is.
00:32:42Walking away the new TNT champion.
00:32:44What dreams may come.
00:32:46Thank you, gentlemen.
00:32:51Thanks, Matt.
00:32:52You can tell this man is spent.
00:32:56This man is hurt.
00:32:59He's sore, but down and he's a champion.
00:33:03The tears are flowing.
00:33:07Texas born, Texas bred.
00:33:09Tonight, Dustin Rhodes is the new TNT champion.
00:33:16He has absolutely broken down.
00:33:18He's crying.
00:33:19Understandably so.
00:33:27Sammy Guevara, the shock look on his face.
00:33:31Held a hold.
00:33:33A global idea was shocked.
00:33:34Guevara extends the hand.
00:33:36To his tag team partner, the natural Dustin Rhodes.
00:33:41And they're a great team, man.
00:33:43They really are.
00:33:44And a classy embrace from Sammy, the three-time champion.
00:33:50Potentially a four-time champion, but not now.
00:33:56The most unexpected of unexpected things just went down,
00:34:02and we couldn't be prouder to be a part of AEW right now.
00:34:07Dustin Rhodes, your new TNT champion.

00:34:29Fans, the stakes are high in our next match.
00:34:40Matthew and Nicholas Jackson putting their EVP titles
00:34:44on the line against Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland,
00:34:47who, if they lose, cannot challenge for the AEW World Championship
00:34:50for one year.
00:34:51Year after year had to deal with this bullcrap from these EVPs.
00:35:01If we all work together one night, then kill each other.
00:35:06Ospreay took the bullet.
00:35:08I'm all in for the EVP titles on the line.
00:35:12What do we get out of this?
00:35:15Me and my big mouth sometimes gives me a little bit of trouble.
00:35:18You guys beat us.
00:35:20The me and Swerve can't challenge for the World Tile for one year.
00:35:25They're not on the same page.
00:35:26Is that right?
00:35:28There's a reason why we would agree to this.
00:35:30We're the young Bucks, man.
00:35:32You guys are just two dumbasses.
00:35:36The main mission has always been to retrieve the belt,
00:35:39get it off Moxley at all costs.
00:35:41And the Bucks have been inserting themselves.
00:35:43Death Riders, you want to change the world just like us.
00:35:47We have to neutralize the young Bucks as a friend.
00:35:49Guess we gotta
00:35:50Swerve and Ospreay wagering their ability to challenge for the World Championship for one year.
00:35:56We're all done with the power that you keep abusing.
00:36:00Against the EVP title.
00:36:02Show some damn respect for the founding fathers.
00:36:06Can you imagine us losing on our own show?
00:36:10You're gonna have to kill us.
00:36:12We're putting the EVP title on someone that has always belonged to you people.
00:36:19Not having a chance to win the world title for one year.
00:36:24Can we humiliate you guys on the biggest stage?
00:36:27The pressure has never been on board than one pay-per-view.
00:36:30Everything can change.
00:36:31For one year, I cannot bear the fall of not going for that World Championship.
00:36:37Not only the young Bucks, still in control of AEW.
00:36:39Everything that we've been through this past year has been about control.
00:36:43I'm taking back.
00:36:46It's time for a new generation, Chief.
00:36:48The aerial assassins.
00:36:49The feeling that franchise swerves Strickland.
00:36:52It's not your AEW anymore.
00:36:54This is ours.
00:36:54Who's house?
00:36:57Her house!
00:36:58The line says the game.
00:37:01The Unterstützung, thebekah.
00:37:02HeSoft.
00:37:03The
00:37:25Most warriors, when surrounded, see their guards in defeat.
00:37:42But today, these people surround their own.
00:37:47Not to destroy, but to protect.
00:37:51To rule best one against the Templars.
00:37:55The holders of power.
00:37:59Because every rebellion comes down to a moment in time.
00:38:04When the top end of the hierarchy feels the sharp end of the blade, people rise.
00:38:13Power falls.
00:38:15Many carry the fuel.
00:38:18On this day, on this soil, in front of these people,
00:38:23don't look for the assassin in the shadows.
00:38:27Look for him in the sky.
00:38:30We work in the dark to serve the light.
00:38:36We are assassins.
00:38:39We are assassins.
00:38:41We are assassins.
00:38:42We are assassins.
00:38:43We are assassins.
00:38:44We are assassins.
00:38:45We are assassins.
00:38:46We are assassins.
00:38:47We are assassins.
00:38:48We are assassins.
00:38:49We are assassins.
00:38:50We are assassins.
00:38:51We are assassins.
00:38:52We are assassins.
00:38:53We are assassins.
00:38:54We are assassins.
00:38:55We are assassins.
00:38:56We are assassins.
00:38:57We are assassins.
00:38:58We are assassins.
00:38:59We are assassins.
00:39:00We are assassins.
00:39:01We are assassins.
00:39:02We are assassins.
00:39:03This is an all-in high-stakes tag team match, Super Bowl!
00:39:19The interest of the participants first from Essex, England, weighting to 125 pounds!
00:39:25The Aerial Assassin's Creed Shadows is now 25% off, available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series platforms,
00:39:54and PC, Justice is Forged in the Shadows.
00:40:00And let's hope some Justice gets forged tonight.
00:40:03We'll get the Young Bucks out of that EVP thing that they're in, and maybe some of us will get refunded for some fines.
00:40:12And as well, before we go on for too long, Tony, I want to thank Nigel McGinnis for joining us here.
00:40:17He's tagged out, the human suit, but you see Taz.
00:40:19Oh, it's Taz!
00:40:20Yeah!
00:40:21Yeah!
00:40:22Alright!
00:40:23What's up, man?
00:40:24This has been awesome, Russ Favre.
00:40:25The show's been amazing.
00:40:26Looking forward to this high-stakes tag team match, we're about to fall.
00:40:31Yeah, speaking of amazing, Will Ospreay about as amazing as you can get.
00:40:39Yeah, it's tough to match this guy's intensity and his energy.
00:40:44Especially once the match stops, man, he can haul ass.
00:40:48Yeah Vsupinassus lives back into theINA in GPU!
00:40:49Yeah!
00:40:50Yeah!
00:40:51Yeah!
00:40:52Yeah!
00:40:53Yeah!
00:40:54Never is too far to go, какая!
00:40:58Take a look at the scope of the production here at Globe Life Field.
00:41:26I want to give a special shout out to our backstage production team who has done an amazing job here in Globe Life Field.
00:41:39Very hard working crew do not get their due often enough.
00:41:43The entire week, had to uproot Garland, had to come here, it's just been amazing.
00:42:56Ain't nobody loves me better.
00:43:00Ain't nobody loves me better.
00:43:04Makes me happy, makes me feel this way.
00:43:10Ain't nobody loves me better than you.
00:43:20Who's house?
00:43:34Big company by Prince Nada.
00:43:44Big company by Prince Nada.
00:43:56From Tacoma, Washington.
00:43:58Washington, weighing two, 130 pounds.
00:44:02Swerve!
00:44:03Strickland!
00:44:04Great performance there by JoJo Offerman.
00:44:08Oh yeah!
00:44:09Going back to the early days of Swerve Strickland's career where he would come to the ring.
00:44:22The tones of Chaka Khan.
00:44:24But tonight, ain't nobody yet.
00:44:28Yeah, man.
00:44:29Shivani's day.
00:44:30Early 80s.
00:44:31You're not kidding.
00:44:32Swerve's in the house.
00:44:34I love the look of Swerve.
00:44:35I like the look he had on his face when he first arrived.
00:44:41I think he's ready for battle.
00:44:43And I love seeing he and Will Ospreay together.
00:44:46It's gonna be a classic match.
00:44:47I mean, I know, I'm saying it's a classic match even before Taz it even happens, but it's gotta be.
00:44:54No, I don't disagree from a physical perspective for sure, but as we know, X Calva, there is a lot on the line.
00:44:59Hence, it's called a high-stakes tag team match.
00:45:02If Swerve and Ospreay are defeated, they cannot challenge for the AEW World Championship for one year.
00:45:10If Matthew and Nicholas Jackson are defeated, they will have to abdicate their roles as executive vice presidents.
00:45:16of all elite wrestling.
00:45:19High stakes may even be an understatement.
00:45:25And Strickland and Ospreay, they go way back as friends, so...
00:45:31Yeah, that's Mitch's butt.
00:45:33I'm pretty sure they could work as a piece of unit, I would assume.
00:45:36I mean, as we touched on though, Taz, just because you are two of the best singles wrestlers on the entire planet
00:45:44doesn't mean you can get it done against one of the best tag teams of all time.
00:45:49You're right, the Bucs, not just, you know, they're blood brothers.
00:45:52I mean, they, they are, that cohesiveness is genetically there.
00:46:00Anybody see if they had a, another limousine?
00:46:02Different limousine to come into the arena today?
00:46:04Lord knows they could afford it.
00:46:05Ha ha, tell them again.
00:46:13We get a fleet of limousine, these guys.
00:46:16You might be driving for them one day, Shivani.
00:46:18I'd do it.
00:46:19Money was right.
00:46:21Matthew and Nicholas Jackson, they're all business ex-caliber.
00:46:24You know these guys a long time.
00:46:25They got that look on their face.
00:46:27This is important for them.
00:46:28Vitally important.
00:46:42Humiliated.
00:46:44On Wednesday night.
00:46:45Where are they going here?
00:46:46Hold on a second.
00:46:48Humiliated on Wednesday night by Swerve Strickland destroying that limousine.
00:46:52Austin trying to stay loose cause he saw the Bucs kind of.
00:46:55They walked right off the stage.
00:46:56They left.
00:46:57Yeah, I don't know where they went.
00:46:58Right.
00:46:59Depends, we got left, right.
00:47:00Right, left.
00:47:03Where the hell'd they go?
00:47:11Oh.
00:47:12Oh, well.
00:47:14Fans are looking out that way.
00:47:15I'm not sure what's happening here.
00:47:16I'm not sure what's happening here.
00:47:23I see.
00:47:34We hold this annual celebration to remind ourselves of all the good we have done through this process of time.
00:47:42Of how it was done and who did it.
00:47:45And how we are historically connected with it.
00:47:49And we go from these gatherings in better humor with ourselves.
00:47:54We feel more attached the one to the other.
00:47:57And more firmly bound to the elite world of wrestling of which we created.
00:48:03We find ourselves engaged in conflict born of desire, power, and tyrannical control.
00:48:10For this, we cannot stand.
00:48:13We will not tolerate the grade of men who wish to tarnish this sacred ground.
00:48:18In every way, we are better than those that dare encroach and claim what was founded based on the pursuit of liberty of the mind, body, and soul.
00:48:31And the best professional wrestling in the world.
00:48:34Therefore, on this joyous day of celebration, we declare that there is no longer any room for the evil desires of others.
00:48:44If we wish to preserve the inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending,
00:48:51which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained,
00:48:59we must fight.
00:49:01We repeat, we must fight.
00:49:05Your founding fathers, Matthew and Nicholas Jackson.
00:49:12Well, at least it was long.
00:49:16Lost me at the very first word.
00:49:18I was, it was riveting to me.
00:49:20I think it was very special.
00:49:21You've heard of Washington crossing the Delaware.
00:49:23We just witnessed Jacksons crossing the first baseline.
00:49:27Well done.
00:49:28Well done.
00:49:29Very, very good.
00:49:30Very good.
00:49:31If I was wearing one, that was very good.
00:49:32You know what I'm thinking about during this whole thing is this,
00:49:34where are the young bucks when we first started this, guys?
00:49:37Where are those guys?
00:49:38I mean, they were, they're right there.
00:49:41They're right over here.
00:49:42Come on.
00:49:43They got a flu.
00:49:44What's going on?
00:49:45They're right here.
00:49:46What do you mean?
00:49:47Different people.
00:49:48Oh, yes, absolutely.
00:49:49And they came out with the buys and the money came out.
00:49:52I mean, it's clear that the success, the money has gone to their heads.
00:49:57And that, you know, they're even attempting to retcon the founding of AEW and saying they're solely responsible for all elite wrestling.
00:50:08Without Matthew and Nicholas Jackson doing what they did by themselves, AEW wouldn't exist today.
00:50:16Well, that is 100% not true.
00:50:19Well, that's true.
00:50:20That point's not true for sure.
00:50:21Well, you know, I mean, like, I don't get this money going to them.
00:50:24Tab's got all kinds of money.
00:50:25Yes.
00:50:26It's never gone to his head.
00:50:27He's catching strays over here.
00:50:28He's going to find out the true story of how AEW came to be.
00:50:29We've got the book coming out.
00:50:30This one.
00:50:31Well, if you are Strickland and Ospreay right now, you were forced to wait a long time for these
00:50:48two athletes, the young bucks to get in the ring.
00:50:51The founding fathers.
00:50:52Yeah.
00:50:53I mean, I didn't have a stopwatch going, but Ospreay, I mean, he's been in the ring by waiting to
00:51:00get this match underway for a number of minutes.
00:51:03Yeah.
00:51:04And with his style, you've got to keep your body warm.
00:51:06The closer you get to the match, not that I wrestled his style, but I've wrestled many
00:51:10men with his style at high flying, you know, exuberant style.
00:51:14So you've got to stay loose.
00:51:15So, Jordan, from a physical perspective, might be smart gamesmanship from the Bucs making
00:51:22Ospreay wait.
00:51:23That's a great point.

00:51:44So a good side headlock right here from the Aerial Assassin.
00:51:47Here's a quick tag from Nicholas onto his brother Matthew's back.
00:51:51I don't think Ospreay realizes it, though.
00:51:53And that is what Ospreay and Swerve are going to have to contend with all match, the tag-team
00:51:57expertise of the Young Bucs.
00:51:59Yeah, these two guys, Matthew Nicholas, Shivani, like them or not, when it comes to tag-team contests,
00:52:06these guys are on autopilot, man.
00:52:08They're incredible, and when I first started here in AEW, I had seen very little of the Young Bucs,
00:52:14and I'm thinking, my God, they're the best.
00:52:17They're the absolute best I've ever seen.
00:52:19And that's what they, that's what Swerve and Ospreay had to contend with.
00:52:24They had to do a little.
00:52:26Yeah, you gotta be slick.
00:52:27You know, they're very creative in their tag-team work, meeting Matthew and Nicholas.
00:52:32And Taz, you know, we talked about how, as individuals, Swerve and Ospreay are so good on their own.
00:52:41I mean, they've seen some flourishes of them as a tag-team.
00:52:46They've had some success.
00:52:47Not nearly as much success as Matthew and Nicholas have had as Nicholas takes down Swerve and Ospreay.
00:52:53Matthew.
00:52:54Oh!
00:52:55Two for the press.
00:52:56One with that released Northern Lights suplex.
00:52:59Yeah.
00:53:00Right now, Swerve and Ospreay getting schooled in tag-team wrestling.
00:53:03That's as simple as that.
00:53:06But to that point, Tony, we've, we've questioned how they can function against an elite-level tag-team in the Young Bucs.
00:53:14But Taz, remember what we saw when Will Ospreay threw out that challenge to Matthew and Nicholas just to go them into taking this match.
00:53:21It was clear he had not consulted with Swerve at all.
00:53:24Yeah, Swerve on that specific episode of Dynamite, he was pissed.
00:53:28You know, but it seems like maybe they've worked it out and talked it out, and they believe in each other.
00:53:33I mean, Strickland and Ospreay.
00:53:35Well, Taz, they do a little bit of arguing down there on the floor as we were talking, so.
00:53:39I think there was more, it could look like arguing, I kind of heard them off.
00:53:43I think it was a little bit more motivating and something like, let's get our act together here, let's get our asses moving, you know.
00:53:47Well, Ospreay takes Nicholas off the corner, hammering Matthew, chop to the chest, backs him to Ospreay's friendly corner.
00:53:54Tag made, and Swerve and Ospreay looking to go to work here on one, oh! Back elbow.
00:54:00And hit the toss, nobody home.
00:54:03Strickland hung on with that wrist patented Strickland right there.
00:54:07Oh, great teamwork there.
00:54:09That kick.
00:54:11Seems to be clicking here for Swerve and Ospreay.
00:54:15Swerve gives up his back.
00:54:17Sky Twister pressed!
00:54:18Wow!
00:54:19The cover's made!
00:54:20One, two!
00:54:21Matthew Jackson able to kick out.
00:54:24Well, Ospreay and Swerve obviously working on some tag team maneuvers that's working thus far.
00:54:30There you go!
00:54:31Right hand, jaw of Matthew Jackson as Swerve lines him up, delivers the knife, edge chop.
00:54:40Little flipper snap, snap man right there when you have that wrist trap along with a version of a snap man.
00:54:46We called that a flipper back in the day.
00:54:47Man, good teaming back and forth, good tags, quick, quick tags.
00:54:50Yeah, they're not rushing into tag moves either, which I think is smart of Strickland and Will.
00:54:55Yeah, because, I mean, the Young Bucks, they've been teaming together for so long.
00:54:58As you mentioned, literal blood brothers growing up together.
00:55:01They almost have a sixth sense for what the other one is going to do,
00:55:05whereas a little coordination, a little more coordination may be required from Ospreay and Swerve.
00:55:09Absolutely.
00:55:10There we see the Young Bucks going to work.
00:55:13It's like I said, it's just genetic chemistry for Matthew and Nicholas.
00:55:18Matthew charging in.
00:55:20Ospreay, though, the boot up, backs off Matthew.
00:55:23Elbow, kick to the ribs.
00:55:25Ospreay falls off the chest.
00:55:27And De Geary.
00:55:28Nicely done there, Ospreay.
00:55:30Ospreay.
00:55:33Oscutter, perhaps.
00:55:34No!
00:55:35Oh!
00:55:36The legs kicked out.
00:55:38Oh!
00:55:39The Satan kicks in.
00:55:40Oh, my.
00:55:41And that was rough.
00:55:42Ospreay got nailed there.
00:55:44And in a blink of an eye, the match shifts into the favors.
00:55:48Oh, my God.
00:55:49The favor of the Founding Fathers.
00:55:50Again?
00:55:51Oh!
00:55:53Heard that thud.
00:55:56Well, the Young Bucks are not going to let go of those EVP titles so quickly, I'll tell you that.
00:56:02They're going to go down in a fight.
00:56:04Well, Ospreay's in trouble here, Excalibur.
00:56:06My God.
00:56:07He took some.
00:56:08Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:56:09Ospreay.
00:56:10Oh, man.
00:56:11This is, uh.
00:56:12Right in front of our desk.
00:56:13There's some person on a tombstone pop.
00:56:16Whoa.
00:56:17The Bucks may have been thinking that TK driver, but instead, Swerve.
00:56:22Over the top.
00:56:23Lands on his feet, but it's greeted with a pair of superkicks.
00:56:27Superkick party right here in the lowest off state.
00:56:32Yeah, we've seen the Bucks are the best.
00:56:34I'm telling you.
00:56:35Man.
00:56:36They are at their best.
00:56:41So much big match experience as a unit, as a team, meaning the Young Bucks in big stadiums,
00:56:48big buildings like this.
00:56:49Their poise is tremendous during these types of matches, Excalibur, because of the experience.
00:56:55Yeah, Taz, the uphill battle for Swerve and Ospreay grows steeper and steeper by the minute.
00:57:00And I'm referencing Japan, obviously, their history, meaning the Young Bucks.
00:57:05Yeah, they've competed in the Tokyo Dome for New Japan Pro Wrestling numerous times.
00:57:10Of course, Wembley Stadium, twice for AEW here, the previous All In London events.
00:57:16And now, here in Globe Light Field.
00:57:20Sorry about that.
00:57:21They have singled out Will Ospreay for sure, Shivani.
00:57:25Yeah, and that's what they do best.
00:57:27They single out one man.
00:57:28They take care of him.
00:57:29They isolate him.
00:57:30They keep him in their corner like they're doing right now.
00:57:33And they just try to get the other guy to make a mistake.
00:57:36Swerve getting faded in.
00:57:38It's the relative inexperience of Swerve Strickland in tag team scenarios.
00:57:44Inadvertently doing his partner a disservice there.
00:57:47Yeah, it's an old tag team trick.
00:57:49I mean, it still works.
00:57:50The ref has to do his job.
00:57:52He has to stay with the guy who's trying to get in and help his partner.
00:57:55In this case, it was Strickland.
00:57:56Knott's has to do that, and he did.
00:57:59And then the Bucks took advantage.
00:58:00And that's not to say that Swerve and Ospreay are inexperienced in tag team scenarios,
00:58:05but relative to the experience of the Young Bucks who compete almost exclusively as a tag team,
00:58:11they're a...
00:58:12I mean, it is a massive gulf in terms of...
00:58:15I think you're right.
00:58:16I'm just saying almost exclusively.
00:58:17What's that?
00:58:18Dude, I don't remember the last time Matthew and Nicholas wrestled in a singles match.
00:58:22It's gotta be.
00:58:23It's been over 18 months, at least two years.
00:58:25So...
00:58:26That's a good point, though.
00:58:27I'm sure somebody will immediately correct.
00:58:30Yeah, just check your Twitter ex-Jones.
00:58:32You'll know.
00:58:33That's why...
00:58:34I'm a Blue Sky guy, but...
00:58:36What's the matter, Siobhan?
00:58:37Are you saying something?
00:58:38Nope.
00:58:39Oh!
00:58:40Come on, man!
00:58:41Stay!
00:58:42Come on, man!
00:58:43Come on, man!
00:58:44The founding fathers...
00:58:45Oh!
00:58:46He's just planting Ospreay on his forehead.
00:58:49The cover's made.
00:58:50Two, and...
00:58:52Nicholas...
00:58:53Did a good...
00:58:54Good move, Taz.
00:58:55And...
00:58:56Turned his body, turned his position, so he could keep his eye on Smurf Stricken while he covered Ospreay.
00:59:01Again, not to be redundant, but that's back to the experience.
00:59:04That's a tag team wrestler.
00:59:05You know, you just know.
00:59:07You just know the positioning, how and where to cut the rings.
00:59:10Cover!
00:59:11And where to cut the ring off, you know?
00:59:16It's Prince Nana...
00:59:18Trying to get his Globe Life Field...
00:59:23Urging on...
00:59:24Will Ospreay.
00:59:28Talked about the hard work of our production team.
00:59:30You see that massive set.
00:59:31Apparently, Globe Life Field has never hung...
00:59:34This much weight from there.
00:59:36See, like, it's just...
00:59:37I mean, it speaks to the enormity of this production.
00:59:39The scale, the mass of this event, and how special things are.
00:59:43But Ospreay...
00:59:44Talk about special!
00:59:45He's such a unique athlete!
00:59:48And right on the gut!
00:59:50There's an opening here.
00:59:51Ospreay gotta get the strip...
00:59:53Ah!
00:59:54There goes Strip.
00:59:55Once again, great tag team wrestler.
00:59:57Ospreay's really hurt.
00:59:58Ever since what happened on the outside to him.
01:00:00He has really hurt.
01:00:01He's fighting back.
01:00:02And, of course, that's...
01:00:04That's basically reactionary.
01:00:05But...
01:00:06He's hurt.
01:00:07Look at that.
01:00:08One axe-handle blow, and he doubles over.
01:00:10Ospreay, though.
01:00:11Coming back.
01:00:12Faults over.
01:00:13Tucks the superkicks.
01:00:14Superkicks.
