05:26And
05:28The next team we got coming out
05:30You guys had a little issue with each other
05:32Recently
05:33Talk about that
05:34Yeah Tony I don't know if I'd say an issue
05:36Uh you know
05:37Uh Christian made a mistake
05:38He's made a lot of mistakes in the last 30 years
05:40And it just happens to be the biggest mistake in this career
05:43On collision
05:44And uh let's just hope that it doesn't happen again
05:46Yeah just the
05:48Miscommunication that shouldn't have happened
05:51And we'll figure it out you know
05:53We'll handle it
05:54We cannot
05:58Cannot count out these two men
06:00Super Mike Bailey
06:02The Jet Kevin Knight
06:03Relative newcomers to AEW
06:05They've made
06:06Such an impression in a very short time Taz
06:09No they definitely have
06:10I mean Def Jet Speed has definitely made noise
06:13Both guys
06:14Talented guys
06:15Been around the block
06:17They're good
06:18I never liked Christian by the way
06:19And here he comes
06:20I never liked him
06:21And you know he's made a lot of mistakes this career
06:22Right
06:23So many
06:25None as big as last night
06:26Or Thursday
06:27On collision
06:28And
06:31One
06:32Big as heavy by Kim Sabian and Mother Wayne
06:34At a combined weight of 397 pounds
06:37The Ring of Honor World Television Champion
06:40Nick Wayne
06:41wayne and his father christian cage
06:48well that announcement was not entirely truthful first christian cage he said
06:54that he and nick wayne are destined to become
06:58the first ever father and son tag team the old awl tag team championship of
07:01course nick wayne's actual father buddy wayne
07:04dearly departed but now christian cage is is assumed the role of a father as
07:13right now mjf
07:17mjf sharing some words with dax and cash to our left as
07:21uh everybody everybody likes me they say hello to me i'm sorry to disrupt the broadcast
07:26of course mjf and mcr used to run in a very similar circle
07:31unfortunately not too long ago that was one of our biggest mistakes right yes
07:35uh yeah you know we talk about christian's mistakes but i can own up to ours and that was
07:40probably the biggest we've ever made and honestly we're talking about speedball mike bailey
07:45and uh kevin knight uh i gotta be honest i don't want to forget this they have a win over ftr from
07:51collision so we'll get it back they're doing great for themselves right now in a very short time have
07:56climbed the ranks of the tag team scene here in aew and shown just a a willingness to endure
08:03incredible amounts of punishment at the hands of the hurt and keep coming back but now the hurt
08:08syndicate on the attack uh spot by the champions they need to be aggressive not one team but two teams
08:14coming at their titles right now and also you know the last time we saw the hurt syndicate together
08:20they were uh they were being beaten around and it was uh the uh patriarchy that came in to pick up the
08:26pieces we we have never seen bobby lashley and john benjamin like that before in aew but right now
08:33lastly with jet speed isolated off the inside of the ring from where sheldon benjamin is putting the boots
08:40to the patriarch christian cage and look at mjl from behind i don't know if we caught that i mean bobby
08:49lashley just gave a spine buster basically to nick wayne on the apron really hard landing for nick
08:55jazz speed and the patriarchy need to put aside any differences they may have right now and team up to
09:01take out the biggest guys first like it's common sense i mean i i completely agree with that sentiment but
09:07the hurt syndicate it's it's definitely easier said than done with dealing with shelton benjamin and bobby lashley
09:19that's nick wayne crashing into the barricade yeah you see bobby lashley it's just it's calvin it's
09:28great strategy by the champions they've got it they've been all over the world they know what they're
09:33doing lashley and benjamin so they they're smart they had a right game plan with mvp interesting and
09:37they're also very angry taz as we as we talked about it's no payback for what happened correct no you're
09:43a billion percent correction i agree and shelton benjamin bobby lashley taking advantage of the
09:48fact that in a three-way match there are no disqualifications there are no count outs
09:53the finish must happen in the ring submission or pinfall but as you know they're wearing down their
09:59opponents two teams getting worn out by by one two yeah by two men so my other theory would be
10:08my strategy would be to if i'm christian and i'm nick wayne i'm climbing under this ring and i'm laying
10:13there for the next five minutes or so until i see an opening well right now competing competing thoughts
10:22between mjf and cash wheeler but well the action in this three-way aw world tech max this is our territory
10:28get out of here you've had enough go time max can't shut up i know you don't get much chance to speak but
10:33how about you shut up now he won't leave me alone i'm trying to work tony we agree on something he's
10:38a big fan boy for you taz i can't blame him but i appreciate now's not the time i know it's not the
10:43time you're right look at a power lashley these kids don't wait a second bailey slips free from the
10:48grip and bailey there we go that taekwondo to good use oh but didn't last long though did it felt those
10:54kicks thursday they they definitely you know he could bring it yeah strong strong kicks with his
11:00background in taekwondo for sure oh christian unsuspecting christian cage brought into the
11:07ring when you're talking about christian cage mistakes that was one right there yeah always
11:11always be aware i don't think that is toes i don't know i was like wayne page
11:15getting the leg of christian cage bailing his quote unquote father out as bailey the tote bag takes
11:22out the patriarchy on the outside and bailey using his quickness that's smart to get bobby lashley at a
11:28disadvantage taz very smart up badly to do that he's a speed this elusive manson there goes nice
11:35good teamwork by jet speed look at this i don't think they're done guys
11:43jet speed i gotta say this right now you know dax cash you know a lot of people say bad things about
11:50you like shivani but i gotta see you guys are upfront honest guys i respect it you're arguably one of the
11:56greatest tag teams ever i mean and you guys are you're humble i respect the humbleness that's why
12:01you're a good guy speaking of uh humbleness i mean i would say inarguably the greatest tag um but
12:08yes as i mean we understand and we see when we see talent we understand talent we're going to give them
12:11their due i would say we're top three of all time and we're not two or three but fair fair fair i do
12:18appreciate this sentiment and three apps to my right so i might get interrupted here jet speed just
12:22this is what you call button jet speed go to work on nick wayne has
12:28nick wayne isolated the cover i do i do find it disrespectful that uh jet speed steals a lot of
12:35ftr moves you know the dives the flips all those things that really bothers me a little bit uh i
12:39think you need to have a little talk with those guys yes yes you guys are definitely big flippy
12:43guys yeah i was i get it i appreciate kevin knight trying to steal my athleticism but
12:47hey i'm not going to do anything about it right now i've seen you guys do plenty of dives i'm i'm
12:53trying to think of the last time you did a flip tony do you even watch it nick wayne was looking for
12:58the knockout shot but kevin knight put on the brakes and bobby hold actually i hooked him over the top
13:04it looks like he was laying i was gonna say jet speed doing a really good job of using their speed
13:08quickness and teamwork uh-oh lashley almost took knight's head off and shut benjamin positioning those steel ring
13:15steps as bobby lashley disastrous landing for kevin knight wow that exemplifies we hurt people right there
13:34let's take a look here watch how hard the face of knight hits these steel steps thanks to
13:40benjamin here look at that got some height on that one right no thing oh wait nick wayne
13:48coming in laying down to the right hands on kevin knight the line was going to look for a quick
13:52pinfall but instead smart of nick though ex-calvies picking up the scraps he knows that lashley and
14:00benjamin just destroyed knight so he's going after it that's smart it also can't be understated that
14:05nick wayne has had three this is his third match in three days right the resiliency of nick wayne is
14:11uh almost second to none christian cage the cover the leg was hooked but knight more than equal to the
14:16task despite our miscommunication with the patriarchy i have to say that nick wayne is very savvy for his
14:22age you can you can tell that he grew up in and around the wrestling business he is a 20-year-old veteran i agree
14:28he totally grew started young and my god mother name she's statuettes if i had her right i'd be
14:36playing for the jaguars yeah do not listen
14:41taz i need the process of that one for a couple of weeks i got i got a connection wait a second okay
14:49step ahead of the patriarchy there dropkick for the page out of my book but that is impressive dropkick
14:54takes down christian takes down nick wayne to your point last night you want to surprise
14:59honor mcwain defeating tetan of cml but right now speedball mike bailey leaping over wayne ducks under
15:06innate rapid fire character jancy gary that is incredible super quick right and it's so hard to do that
15:13years of training
15:16background kick to the gut axe kick to the back round kick to the chest
15:20it's obviously hard to doubt the hurt syndicate in this situation but
15:27tuning start press and nick wayne able to kick out these little three-way dances make it very
15:32entertaining and you don't know who's going to get what so it's unpredictable as a team as you guys know
15:37it's hard right when you're the champs you know going into something like this the champions don't have to
15:41be here no they don't all submitted you're right to lose the titles if there is any disadvantage for the
15:47hurt syndicate in this match it is that fact there's a disadvantage now for mike banning because he's the
15:54only one of his team standing i think they're on equal footing now i got it it was a good one thanks
16:00wait a second benjamin just came in and struck bailey a double leg and ankle lock in on christian cage
16:08got it locked in christian got a roll or something oh sabian kip sabian was trying to come in to bail out
16:16christian cage and she doesn't spot him off the cover of his eye but bailey
16:22catching shelton unawares and the boot up into the face of bobby lashley gotta be fast here bailey
16:27yeah oh not like that no fast fast all right yeah he's gravity fast that one barely becoming
16:37a smudge on the canvas courtesy of bobby lashley be getting german right here is that a tag
16:42not that should be a tag i definitely should be a tag yeah
16:49stole that move from us we did that last rabbit punches from shelton benjamin on mike oh my god
16:55this all right just just throw him off hey i i've seen a lot of suplexes i've done a lot of them
17:03i've done belly of bellies to guys over the top never seen a german over top like that you guys
17:07ever do one like that um we're too busy covering the first the strength the unparalleled strength
17:20of the hurt singing of shelton benjamin to toss a human being like that got his hips under his
17:25opponent excellent technique guy was a stud wrestler back in there at university of minnesota a great
17:31big 10 program mcaa all-american shelton benjamin i mean look we can't take anything away from him or
17:37bobby lashley their accomplishments uh in and out of the ring but here's the thing is if we're talking
17:41about their amateur accomplishments uh there is no uh referee here to count points okay so what's going to
17:48happen if i thumb them in the out or i kick them in the knee what's going to happen then i think
17:53everyone has been intimidated by these guys that they stepped in the ring with them the thing is
17:57the funny thing is is ftr is the winningest tag team in aew history we are undefeated this year but
18:01yet we haven't got a tag team title shot against these guys i mean that's suspect to me snap suplex
18:06cover made by bobby lashley
18:11hurt syndicate since emerging on the tag team scene here and aw quickly established themselves as a
18:17dominant force but dax you are right cannot argue with the stats for ftr
18:25yeah dominant force it's now that we've dominant force i agree now that we've gotten rid of the dead
18:29weight that were our old friends and we don't have to we can look past them now they they are the
18:36past we can focus on the future it's time to get these aw tag team titles back and the fact that we
18:41haven't had a chance against the hurt syndicate yet is very upsetting to me and i i believe that when
18:47we get to the back here we're going to make sure that something changes emphatic body slams delivered
18:54something changing with the spine of mike bailey after almost body steps in that backdrop on you and bailey
19:01kicking out fdr interesting to me is the relationship with you guys and big stoke
19:06that's very interesting i really think i don't think a lot of people know this but stoke and
19:10myself have been friends for a very long time i did not know uh yeah i uh i was the one to actually
19:15ask tony khan to give stoke a job and uh i think stoke is an incredible human being i think he's uh you
19:22know an incredible talent i think above all though he's just incredibly cute and i love having him around
19:27he's like a uh he he he he takes away from what i give facial you know what i mean yeah okay you're
19:35talking about stoking right big stove benjamin was looking for the rising knee strike in the corner oh
19:41we got a rising foot to the chin and bailey avoided it and now an opportunity to tag in kevin knight for
19:46some relief relief relief is right in shall we he has been beaten up has has mike bailey so has kevin
19:53knight and bobby lashley almost sends knight sprawling to the floor and oh no this is going from bad to
19:59worse for mike bailey the cover made oh and oh christian cage there every team for themselves for his
20:09title so christian did the right thing for himself and nick wayne i'm sure where christian cage came
20:15from but i guess it doesn't matter much as he is lining up bobby lashley for us and he's going for a ride
20:24i think so whoa bailey oh chops off the legs christian comes down and lastly oh
20:30oh damn damn oh my gosh she got the worst that whole deal lastly he's trying to get out of harm's
20:38way and inadvertently put himself right in the thick of it that's a good thing for uh for speedball
20:43and christian here i think it's a good thing for everyone yeah kevin's out okay both men tagged in
20:52kevin's fresh and he's explosive let's see what he does here nice reversal by wayne
20:56kevin knight i like this kid great agility oh the caper door of the tilted world backbreaker
21:08delivered to christian almost looks like great away a second inside great holy
21:16there you go the champs almost lost it not even being in the ring like he talked about earlier
21:21shun benjamin blind tag kevin knight i like i like kevin knight too and i think he has a bright future
21:27as long as he stays away from the tag division going forward kevin knight's very good that's not
21:31that's what i think nobody's going to stay away from the tag division or not this is a great team
21:36oh bailey it's catching the show me shut down the top with the edgy geary and now speedball
21:42work on rana that idea mike you're not kidding or is it
21:53great teamwork right that could be it one two oh wow that was close this is one of the match ted you're
22:02right mjf not impressed look at that chuck benjamin his hands were down
22:11around mike bailey's waist leaving his head completely unprotected
22:15and jet speed very nearly pulled off what i think would be a huge upset i think this is the most
22:19danger we've ever seen the hurt syndicate in this is you're right man the most they've ever been
22:25tested on their back on their back foot
22:30jet speed aerial assault and oh benjamin it went right into a waist lock on the kick out did benjamin
22:38you got to try and switch that up if you're kevin maybe not
22:41it's pretty apparent it's gonna take a hell of a lot to keep hurt syndicate down
22:49is it weird to say that i wish mother wayne was my mother oh not at all she's gorgeous
22:55maybe my stepmother very tall there's cages tag himself in he and nick wayne
23:00trying to neutralize shelton benjamin as they're doing they're doing all right wayne the cutter
23:11got all of that on night
23:12wayne
23:29oh
23:31that kick out and mvp i think just saved sort of the tag titles
23:36for benjamin and lashley that was smart in my opinion of a vp he doesn't want to see his guys
23:40lose those titles absolutely and he had to cause some sort of distraction illegally but it worked
23:45ftr would never do it you guys don't like that high standard guys kevin knight such underhanded
23:51tactics my my my word every night his back was turned his eyes were raked but he still scored a
23:57kick on the face of christian cage he's got his partner pulling up in one corner nick wayne is still
24:03down and christian was looking for him that time guys but christian what's on the tag for mike bailey
24:12in the night i don't think kevin realized nope yeah now he does yeah now he sees bobby lashley
24:18up in the corner i mean oh can i ask you is that legal that's not bobby's corner is that legal
24:23can you just go to any corner uh pretty much so no discount if anything goes as long as tony shibani
24:30says so there you go now bobby lashley going to work on kevin knight going to work on christian cage
24:40neck breaker man the size of bobby taking you like that into the ribs no thank you oh no oh god don't
24:49do this to nick poor guy oh oh landed hard on that left shoulder guys i mean that could be the end of the
24:57the whole wing generation oh that just gonna crush it all raisin whatever crushes what over first ddt
25:06bobby lashley oh lastly out of the ring but benjamin into the ring takes down christian
25:15and shelton on the receiving end of the leaping clothesline from kevin knight
25:19i think kevin knows that nick is hurting after the what last he did to oh man nice counter full
25:26awesome dragon suplex action
25:30nick wayne showing tremendous poise for his age for his his level of experience to be here under the
25:38bright lights at globe light field
25:39wayne connects with the elbow uh-oh speedball underneath chicken fight
25:51what the hell is this
25:56is he still with us we've seen some incredible things in this match
26:01amazing that some of these guys can still walk nick wayne i think his head clipped the ring apron yep
26:07on the way down hope he's all right because that was not pretty
26:12great at felicitas though by kevin knight who's on the hop every night
26:17and speedball mike bailey working in concert
26:23as i don't like this i don't like this right now oh christian cage what what's your problem
26:30shoved into ftr by bobby lashley
26:36were you gonna crawl get your ass back in the ring bob get your ass back in the ring bobby okay
26:41oh lastly uh okay
26:46lastly though something i would say lastly this year christian cage leapfrogs up and over ftrs off headsets
26:53and they are getting ready to get in the ring here oh christian and he was shoved by bobby lashley
26:58oh he might get him one two three
27:05here are your winners and still aew world tag team champions the hurt syndicates
27:15well the odds were against the champions going into this they persevered
27:20grants to them wasn't easy though no it was not easy and it knew it wouldn't be with a quick
27:25team like speedball and mike and of course the jet and a veteran like christian cage and a great young
27:32man but shelton benjamin bobby lashley remained flawless they remain the aew world tag team champions
27:42the ftr is pissed i promise you that they should escape where they are action now
27:52you knew it wouldn't go unanswered and it kind of did thanks christian i wonder when it looked like
28:00christian was about to hit the kill switch our body lastly and ftr was going to the ring
28:04were they going for lastly just shoved christian into him or were they going for christian after
28:10what happened a couple nights going to listen not really sure that
28:13he's got his contract contract an opportunity for title he's happy as a pig and you know what
28:26well it's a big night really for the hurt syndicate if you think of that mvp yeah
28:30here's what lashley and shelton did their winners
28:34the aew world tag team champion look at this look at this for this
28:45christian ran into you know x yards they were trying to get in the ring nick wayne there you go
28:54wayne kept saving trying to run interference for christian cage
29:15a lot of bad blood for shaw
29:22wayne on christian wow
29:32i i'm stunned
29:41was this match was this match make or break for the patriarchy
29:45or was this a spur of the moment decision by nick wayne i don't think it was spur of the moment in
29:49my opinion just observing nick wayne's mother is laughing
29:54a butt off she thinks it's great i think they were shocked
29:58i think that gave it away you're right seeing mother wayne laugh
30:07nick is not done saving
30:08what's going to happen here well kim apparently a part of this is
30:20taking a swipe
30:21that christian cage and now a second chair has entered the ring and this usually means only one thing
30:30oh this is out of nowhere i mean
30:36sure i mean it's been a lot of tough luck from christian towards nick wayne and
30:41some of the harsh things that christian has said to mother wayne like where should be working if it wasn't been here
30:45they can't take this over whoa what are you going to do here dude there's no one to crush your skull it it's
31:01oh
31:14focus back can you believe this
31:24Superstar is back, and he's not alone.
31:40He's got Spike in hand, and he has come alive.
31:46And the last time I was going to say it.
31:49He's back, baby.
31:54Yep, see you later, Nick.
31:58Space!
32:00Yes!
32:02Hope Bout took saving out of his shoes right there.
32:06The last time we saw Cope here in AEW, it was when FTR planted the proverbial knife right
32:17between his shoulder blades.
32:18Absolutely, and he has had to really make a comeback, really try to get right again.
32:26Shocking return for sure for Adam Copeland.
32:31Look at Jackson Cash.
32:32They can't believe what they're seeing.
32:34Don't make us do it again.
32:36Don't make us do it again.
32:39We let you live last time.
32:42We'll finish the job.
32:43Oh, brother.
32:44Remember when Cope first arrived?
32:50We all remember how things went down between Cope and Cope.
32:56Remember the battle in Toronto.
32:59Go find yourself.
33:21I don't think the issues between Cope and Christian will be easily repaired, but we hope they should
33:43open the door for Christian Cage.
33:47Well said by you.
33:48I think your breakdown is exactly right.
33:52Thanks, Scott.
33:52I know Cope has been for decades, and you're right.
33:58My observation is the same.
33:59The door is open from Copeland to Christian.
34:03I think the hard work for Christian Cage begins now, that he wants to salvage any sort of relationship
34:11with a man he once called his best friend.
34:15Out of her.
34:20I want to give her Ini to the town.
34:26Oh, I think the spindle starts with her.
34:29Oh, my.
34:31Out of her.
34:32Out of her.
34:33Out of her.
34:35OOh, my.
34:36Out of her.
34:42Out of her.
