00:00Most warriors, when surrounded, see their guards in defeat.
00:10But today, these people surround their own.
00:15Not to destroy, but to protect.
00:20To rule as one against the Templars, the holders of power.
00:25Now, because every rebellion comes down to a moment in time.
00:33When the top end of the hierarchy feels the sharp end of the blade, people rise, power falls.
00:43The many carry the fuel.
00:46On this day, on this soil, in front of these people, don't look for the assassin in the shadows.
00:55Look for him in the sky.
00:58We work in the dark to serve the light.
01:04We are assassins.
01:08We work in the dark.
01:09We are assassins.
01:22We are assassins.
01:24This is an all-in high-stakes tag team match, Syphilipa!
01:47The entrance to the part is Fitzhurst, from Essex, England.
01:51Waiting to 125 points.
02:00The Aerial Assassin...
02:04Who...
02:07Ospreay!
02:12The Aerial Assassin's Creed Shadows is now 25% off.
02:19Available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series platforms, and PC.
02:24Justice is forged in the shadows.
02:27And let's hope some justice gets forged tonight.
02:32We'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.
02:40And as well, before we go on for too long, Tony, I want to thank Nigel McGinnis for joining us here.
02:45He's tagged out.
02:46The human suit like you've seen.
02:47Taz!
02:48Woo!
02:49It's tagging in!
02:50Yeah!
02:51Alright!
02:52What's up, man?
02:53This has been awesome thus far.
02:54The show's been amazing.
02:55Looking forward to this high-stakes tag team match, we're about to fall.
03:00Yeah, speaking of amazing, Will Ospreay, about as amazing as you can get.
03:08Yeah, it's tough to match this guy's intensity and his energy.
03:13Especially once the match starts, man, he can haul ass.
03:38Take a look at the scope of the production here at Globe Life Field.
03:55Want to give a special shout-out to our backstage production team who has done an amazing job here in Globe Life Field.
04:04Very hard-working crew.
04:09Do not get their due often enough.
04:11The entire week.
04:12Had to uproot Garland.
04:15Had to come here.
04:17It's just been amazing.
04:18That was been amazing.
04:19Yeah.
04:24Yeah.
04:28Yeah.
04:29Yeah.
04:30Yeah.
04:31Yeah.
05:35Makes me happy, makes me feel this way.
05:39Ain't nobody loves me better than you.
05:47Whose house?
06:02Fire!
06:06Fire!
06:08Fire!
06:12Fire!
06:14Fire!
06:16Fire!
06:18Fingered company by Prince Nana, from Tacoma, Washington, weighing two, 130 pounds, Swerve Strickland!
06:38Great performance there by Jojo Hoffman, oh yeah, going back to the early days of Swerve Strickland's career where he would come to the ring.
06:48The tones of Chaka Khan, but tonight, ain't nobody. Yeah, man. It's your body's day, early 80s. You're not kidding.
07:02Struggs in the house. I love the look of Swerve. I like the look he had on his face when he first arrived.
07:10I think he's ready for battle, and I love seeing he and Will Ospreay together. It's going to be a classic match.
07:16I mean, I know, I'm saying it's a classic match even before Taz it even happens, but it's got to be.
07:23No, I don't disagree from a physical perspective for sure, but as we know, X-Calva, there is a lot on the line.
07:28Hence, it's called a high-stakes tag team match.
07:31If Swerve and Ospreay are defeated, they cannot challenge for the AEW World Championship for one year.
07:38If Matthew and Nicholas Jackson are defeated, they will have to abdicate their roles as Executive Vice Presidents of all Elite Wrestling.
07:48High stakes may even be an understatement.
07:50High stakes. High stakes. High stakes. High stakes. High stakes. High stakes. High stakes. High stakes. High stakes. High stakes. High stakes. High stakes. High stakes. High stakes. High stakes.

08:20Blood brothers, I mean they they are that cohesiveness is genetically there
08:28Anybody see they had a another limousine different limousine to come into the arena today Lord knows they could afford it
08:41You get a fleet of limos these guys
08:44You might be driving for them one day Shivani. I'd do it money was right
08:50Matthew and Nicholas Jackson. They're all business ex-caliber. You know these guys a long time
08:54They got that look on their face. This is important for them vitally important
09:11Humiliated on both a night when I got a second
09:15They'll get into Wednesday night by Swerve Strickland destroying that limousine
09:21Offs me trying to stay loose because he sort of bumps kind of they walk right off the scale left
09:26Yeah, I don't know where they went right because we got left right
09:28The hell they go
09:42Fans are looking out that way. What's happening here?
09:44What's happening here?
09:46we hold this annual celebration to remind ourselves of all the good we have done through
10:09this process of time of how it was done and who did it and how we are historically
10:16connected with it and we go from these gatherings in better humor with ourselves we feel more attached
10:24the one to the other and more firmly bound to the elite world of wrestling of which we created
10:32we find ourselves engaged in conflict born of desire power and tyrannical control for this
10:40we cannot stand we will not tolerate the greed of men who wish to tarnish this sacred ground
10:47in every way we are better than those that dare encroach and claim what was founded based on the
10:55pursuit of liberty of the mind body and soul and the best professional wrestling in the world
11:03therefore on this joyous day of celebration we declare that there is no longer any room for the
11:11evil desires of others if we wish to preserve the inestimable privileges for which we have been so
11:18long contending which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our
11:26contest shall be obtained we must fight we repeat we must fight your founding fathers matthew and nicholas
11:39jackson well at least it was long lost me at the very first word i was it was riveting to me i think it was very special
11:49you've heard of washington crossing the delaware we just witnessed jackson's crossing the first baseline
11:56well done well very very good very good it might count if i was wearing one that was very good you know i'm thinking about
12:01during this whole thing is this where are the young bucks when we first started this guys where are those guys
12:07i mean they were right there they're right over here what's going on they're right here what do you mean you're saying
12:15they're different people oh yes absolutely and they came out with the buys and the money came out i mean it's like
12:21it's clear that the the success of the money has has gone to their heads and that you know they're even attempting
12:28to retcon the the founding of aew and saying they are solely responsible for all elite wrestling without
12:37matthew and nicholas jackson doing what they did by themselves aew wouldn't exist today
12:44when that is 100 percent not true well that's that point's not true for sure well you know i mean like
12:50i don't get this money going to the tabs got all kinds of money yes never gone to his head
12:54catching strays over here
13:01want to find out the true story of how aew came to be we got the book coming out this fall
13:08well if you are strickland and osprey right now you were forced to wait a long time for these two
13:17athletes the young bucks to get in the ring the founding fathers yeah i mean i didn't have a stopwatch going but i'm
13:23a stopwatch going but osprey i mean he's been in the ring by waiting to get this match underway for
13:30a number of minutes yeah and with his style you got to keep your body warm the closer you get to the
13:35match uh not that i wrestled his style but i've wrestled many men with his style that high-flying
13:41you know exuberant style so you got to stay loose so jordan from a physical perspective might be smart's
13:47game smart gamesmanship from the bucks making osprey wait that's a great point rap kings is an

14:10the crown is yours so a good side headlock right here from the aerial assassin there's a quick tag
14:17from nicholas onto his brother matthew's back i don't think uh osprey realizes it though and that is what
14:22osprey and swerve are going to have to contend with all match the tag team expertise of the young bucks
14:28yeah these two guys matthew nicholas shivani like them or not when it comes to tag team contest this these
14:35guys are on autopilot man they're incredible and when i first started here in aew i had seen very little of
14:41the young bucks and i'm thinking my god they're the best they're the best i've ever seen and that's what
14:48that's what they that's what swerve and osprey have to contend with they had to do a little yeah you
14:54got to be slick you know they're very creative in their tag team work beating matthew and nicholas and
15:00taz you know we talked about how as as individuals swerve and osprey are so good on their own i mean they've
15:10seen some flourishes of them as a tag team they've had some success not nearly as much success as matthew and
15:17nicholas have had as nicholas takes down swerve and osprey matthew oh two for the press one with that
15:25release normal like suplex yeah right now swerve and osprey getting schooled in tag team wrestling
15:31that's as simple as that but to that point tony we've questioned how they can function against an elite
15:41level tag team in the young bucks but taz remember what we saw with will osprey throughout that challenge to
15:46imagine nicholas to go them into taking this match it was clear he had not consulted with with strickland
15:52at all yeah strickland on that specific episode of dynamite he was pissed you know but it seems like
15:58maybe they've worked it out and talked it out and they believe in each other meaning strickland and
16:02strickland and osprey well taz they do a little bit of arguing down there on the floor as we were talking so
16:08i think there was more it could look like arguing i kind of heard them off i think it was a little bit more
16:12motivating and something like let's get our act together here let's get our answers moving you know
16:16well osprey takes nicholas off the corner hammering matthew chop to the chest backs him to osprey's friendly corner
16:22tag made and swerve and osprey looking to go to work here on one oh back elbow and hip toss nobody home
16:32strickland hung on with that wrist patented strickland right there oh great teamwork there that kick
16:40seems to be clicking here for swerving osprey
16:44swerve gives up his back sky twister press wow the cover's made one two
16:50matthew jackson able to kick out well osprey and swerve obviously working on some tag team maneuvers
16:56it's working thus far right hand jaw of matthew jackson as swerve lines him up delivers the knife edge chop
17:08little flipper snap snap man right there when you have that wrist strap along with a version of a snap man
17:14called that a flipper back in the day man good teaming back and forth good tags quick quick tags yeah they're not
17:20rushing into tag moves either which i think is smart of strickland and will yeah because i mean the young bucks
17:25they've been teaming together for so long as you mentioned literal blood brothers growing up
17:30together they almost have a a sixth sense for what the what the other one is going to do whereas a
17:35little coordination a little more coordination may be required from osprey and swerve absolutely there
17:39we see the young bucks going to work it's like i said it's just genetic chemistry for matthew and nicholas
17:48matthew charging in osprey though the boot up backs off matthew elbow kick to the ribs
17:54osprey falls off the chest and tigiri nicely done there osprey
18:01oscutter perhaps no
18:05the legs kicked out the senton kicks in oh my and that was rough osprey got nailed there
18:14and in a blink of an eye the match shifts into the favors oh my god the favor of the founding fathers again
18:20oh the young bucks are not gonna let go of those evp evp titles so quickly i'll tell you that
18:31they're gonna go down in a fight well osprey's in trouble here excalibur my god he took some
18:37whoa whoa osprey oh man this is uh right in front of our desk this is some person of a tombstone pot
18:45whoa the bucks may have been thinking that tk driver but instead swerve over the top lands on his
18:53feet but it's greeted with a pair of super kicks super kick party right here
19:00in the lowest off state yeah we're seeing the bucks are the best i'm telling you they are at their best
19:06so much big match experience as a unit as a team meaning the young bucks in big stadiums big buildings
19:17like this their poise is tremendous during these type of matches excalibur because of the experience
19:23yeah taz the the uphill battle for swerving osprey grows steeper and steeper by the minute
19:29and i'm referencing japan obviously their history meaning the young bucks yeah they've competed in
19:36the tokyo dome for new japan pro wrestling numerous times of course wembley stadium twice for aew here
19:43the previous all-in-london events and now here in globe light field sorry but that they have singled
19:51out will osprey for sure shivani yeah and that's what they do best they single out one man they take care
19:58of him they isolate him they keep him in their corner like they're doing right now and they just
20:03try to get the other guy to make a mistake we're getting faded in the relative inexperience of swerve
20:11strickland in tag team scenarios inadvertently doing his partner a disservice there yeah it's an old tag
20:17team trick i mean it still works the ref has to do his job he has to stay with the guy who's trying to
20:23get in and help his partner in this case it was strickland knots has to do that he did
20:28and then the bucks took advantage that's not to say that swerve and osprey are inexperienced
20:33in tag team scenarios but relative to the experience of the young bucks who compete almost exclusively
20:38as a tag team they're i mean it is a massive gulf in terms i think you're right i'm just saying
20:45almost dude i don't remember the last time matt matthew and nicholas wrestled in a singles match
20:51so it's got to be i've been over 18 months at least two years and so it's a good point though
20:57sure somebody will immediately correct just check your twitter x jones you'll know
21:01that's why i'm a blue sky guy but what's the matter shivana you saying something nope
21:12founding fathers oh nicholas planting osprey on his forehead the cover's made two and
21:21nicholas did a good good move taz
21:24turned his body turned his position so he could keep his eye on swear stricken while
21:29he covered osprey again not to be redundant but that's back to the experience that's a tag team
21:33wrestler you know you just know you just know the positioning how and where to cut the rings
21:39cover i don't know the ring off you know
21:45this prince nana trying to get this globe life field urging on will osprey
21:57talked about the hard work of our production team you see that massive set apparently globe light field
22:02has never hung this much weight from there see like it's just i mean it speaks to the enormity
22:07of this production the the scale the mass of this event and how special things are but osprey talk
22:13about special he's such a unique athlete and right on the gut there's an opening here osprey got to
22:21get the strip ah there goes once again great tag teamwork osprey's really hurt ever since what
22:28happened on the outside to him he has really hurt he's fighting back and of course that's that's
22:33basically reactionary but he's hurt look at that one axe handle blown he doubles over
22:39osprey though coming back falls over ducks the super kicks and now osprey
22:46that was desperation as you can see he's still down but it worked
22:50dude makes him look he makes it look easy osprey it's unreal like how hard that is to do
22:55what he just did it's sick there it is
23:00swerve strickland the legal man for his side
23:05and now swerve the up kicks backing off the bucks and swerve
23:13perpetual motion here boom
23:15a quick series of attacks for swerve strickland but matthew that's shot across the windpipe
23:28and the work on ronado good strength by strickland
23:32swerve pops up into the power slam great great that was nice
23:36swerve crawls makes the cover the leg is hooked and was jackson able to kick out
23:45they're talking about how much injuries are punishment that will osprey has taken he is still
23:53down on the floor we saw that just a few months ago with a lot of punishment to the point you're making
23:57shivani for sure can't even get up swerve leaping over to the midsection and now osprey slides back
24:07into the ring but the bucks double swing double miss and double gorgon rana's there
24:17swerve and osprey
24:23commanding the ring but i don't think they're going to be in there for much longer
24:27swerve and osprey flying high great teamwork
24:35off and over outside excellent stuff by strictly and the aerial assassin great communication as well
24:41got to get them in the ring as you know and they know as well tony you want to talk about communication
24:46think about what we saw thursday a collision after from from the previous night after dynamite had gone
24:52off the air when swerve and osprey get back to that thought in a moment
25:00swerve and osprey take it down nicholas inside the ring and
25:08okay this is unique both going up top yeah not sure i'm not sure what they're up to here
25:12oh whoa osprey and swore stereo sky twisters the cover's made two whoa so close it is hit
25:26god it was so close to the hand hitting the mat i mean it's obvious strickland and osprey
25:32definitely had a uh pre-game meeting for sure some good teamwork impressive impressive stuff there
25:41but we heard hangman adam page attempt to clear the air with swerve strickland and it seemed
25:47like he was successful in doing so hangman he said that he never wanted the bucks to cost swerve
25:52the aw world championship and if oh the shoe was on the other foot hangman he wouldn't believe swerve
25:59but we seemed oh put that behind him so you know swerve has been coming into this match
26:05a little extra p and v so to speak but right now the bucks osprey hit the back of his head
26:11hard there then ate a knee strike running knee strike yeah excalibur you're right it was an emotional
26:17time for both men really it's the bucks now showing off why they are one of if not the greatest
26:27tag teams of all time that's it the escalera swerve neutralized on the outside inside the ring so
26:34close good kick out by osprey but bailey well he almost osprey almost just lost a one-year opportunity
26:46at a world title for himself and for strickland if he would have
26:52may have changed but they are still amazing are the bucks and taz to your point that's uh
26:59so much added pressure because it's not just yourself and the opportunity that you're fighting for it's
27:05the other man yeah on your team correct and then that could be a very very quick way to engender some
27:14very difficult feelings that would really test the strength the bonds between sorcerer and a little
27:19osprey i mean hypothetically let's say that osprey just got beat i tricked you but it could
27:25pissed it affected him to the point you're making now osprey's getting a little ticked off here
27:30the contact going to draw some motivation from those right hands
27:46that bruv is getting fired up yes he is and he wants matt jackson to bring it don't
28:00don't worry matt will oh the bypass like right there again back to the teamwork
28:07the instincts the sixth sense whatever you want to call it
28:11the bucks almost with a a telepathic connection exactly you're just not going to top them
28:17regarding that type of chemistry
28:22so i think uh nicholas jackson's referencing he has an idea what is this idea maybe we'll see here
28:27oh
28:31a box shot larry wow oh the count on but no
28:39frenetic pace here's oh super kick
28:43the door up no oh
28:49that was great job and what the hell are we watching this is unbelievable
28:56we are watching four of the very best
29:09well just look at this action try to keep up if you can there's a buffer of knee strikes kicks
29:29moves all sorts of stuff and taz i think most importantly it concluded
29:36with a stereo house call and hidden blade
29:42yeah and they concluded with a standing ovation by everyone here but many are still standing
29:50yeah north of 25 000 people in this building they were going nuts right there respecting that
29:55opposite sides of the ring swerving osprey ascend
29:59but matthew and nicholas may be playing possum there luring him in
30:11tag made matthew the legal man for the founding fathers
30:17yeah once again they got something in mind here as well a little communication between the two before
30:21they went to the corners yeah they know already i think the bucks know what they have in mind but
30:26strickland and osprey are fighting their tails off off on the top of these buckles here to prevent
30:32the bucks from doing whatever it is they want to do
30:35swerving osprey getting the better of matthew and nicholas
30:38some headbutts and sunset flip power bombs wait no not power bombs
30:51instead working in tandem styles crashes
30:57one two oh no the bucks escape and we were just so close to losing out on two evps
31:08so we better be careful now
31:14nope osprey
31:17as i'm up
31:21what a combo whoa whoa whoa
31:23one two no
31:26big time saved by nicholas for his brother matthew
31:29big time save i mean
31:35not only with the
31:37are there serious financial implications for matthew and nicholas jackson losing those evp titles but i
31:43think about how they've abused their power well a little bit they have a little bit it may be a lot of
31:48bit yeah yeah they would no longer be able to do so they no longer be able to stack the deck in their favor
31:54oh
32:00nicholas stopped striklin but a heads-up move by swerve to tag in osprey as
32:05as swerve was getting dragged to the outside
32:07and osprey instead of going to the inside went to the outside and paid for it
32:11okay are you okay are you all right
32:16oh no
32:17oh no
32:17yeah
32:18yeah
32:19it's flattened
32:22oh that's not nice i like dana
32:26what the hell
32:28common geary the roll up the feet of the ropes
32:31Oh
32:35Wow, the referee never saw it
32:39And oh wait a second. Oh the low blow again
32:43Matthew Jackson obscuring Rick Knox's vision. He couldn't see the low blow
32:48That is a veteran move right there, man. Yeah, that's definitely a little yambag Yahtzee for sure
33:01Oh
33:07The TK driver on the outside. Oh my god. I'd be surprised if Swerve can recover from that guys
33:25And the Bucks turning up the heat here or the Bucks got this thing I think guys they got it back for your
33:31But
33:33Cover to
33:39Determination on cosplay's part absolutely you are correct. Oh, I'm not sure how we'll kick out
33:46The Bucks a little perplexed also
33:48Let's go
33:58Yeah, look both are you're right that both don't know what to do next they just stay they live up and
34:05Austin was able to kick out
