00:00Thank you so much for joining us.
03:31We'll see how that plays out.
03:32At the end of the day, it's probably going to be Taz, who's the toughest?
03:37Who's got the most gas in her tank?
03:39Yeah.
03:40No, I think you're right about that, JR.
03:41That's...
03:42That's apropos.
03:43I think that's exactly...
03:45You want to fight?
03:46Yeah, you want to fight?
03:47Well, you guys got a chance to put on an amazing exhibition of fighting, survival all here tonight.
03:56Yeah.
03:57Yeah.
03:58Yeah.
03:59Yeah.
04:00Yeah.
04:01Yeah.
04:02Yeah.
04:03Yeah.
04:04Let's go.
04:34That is a big, gnarly truck.
04:38And it is the chariot.
04:41Redneck chariot.
04:43It is the chariot for the biggest dog in AEW.
04:49Maybe in professional wrestling today.
04:50The man who has had all elite wrestling gripped by his throat since last October.
04:57Since becoming AEW world champion.
05:01That is Jon Moxley.
05:05273 day run is the champion.
05:09That's damn impressive in today's marketplace, Tony.
05:11Yes it is, Jim.
05:12This is level of competition.
05:15I'll say this to the son of a gun.
05:17He hasn't walked away from any challenges or turned his back on any fights.
05:21No, he hasn't, but he also utilizes his minions, the Death Riders, to capture a lot of those wins, as you know.
05:28So, you know, I get it.
05:31I understand how it works.
05:33I'm not taking nothing away from him as a champion.
05:35But I think a lot of people, fans, do not.
05:40They hate him.
05:40They don't want to see him as a champion.
05:42It don't matter.
05:43And if I'm Moxley, I don't care what the fans think.
05:45It's about me keeping that belt.
05:47To have the core values of AEW.
05:50It's about the spirit of competition.
05:53It is about fairness.
05:55It is about may the best man win.
05:57And Jon Moxley, he's supported all of those values.
06:03It's tough to argue that.
06:05It's definitely tough to argue that, but, you know, obviously he doesn't care.
06:08And Irina Sabir has got that briefcase, which we say week in, week out.
06:13We can only assume the AEW world title is in that briefcase on the Lockheed Kick.
06:17She's a hell of an asset.
06:20Draw a thing.
06:20Yeah, absolutely.
06:22And Tony, to your point, 273 days since Jon Moxley became AEW world champion.
06:27273 days since anyone has laid eyes on the AEW world championship title.
06:33That's a great point.
06:34Now, Jon Moxley, we talked about this.
06:36We're not back down from a challenge.
06:37But one thing about it, he did not want a Texas death match at first.
06:41If you'll recall.
06:42That's a good point.
06:43You're right about that, Tony.
06:44And, of course, Hangman got him to agree to it.
06:49Because Hangman has one more Texas death match as the AEW history than anyone.
06:54This is his type of match.
06:55And, of course, he possesses a Texas death match victory over Jon Moxley.
07:00Absolutely.
07:00For the final time this evening, let's send it to the ring.
07:05And Justin Roberts.
07:12Orrington, Texas.
07:18Your final bout tonight is a Texas death match for the old elite wrestling world champion.
07:28The only way to win is by knockout or submission.
07:40Introducing the challenger.
07:45He is a former AEW world tag team champion.
07:49The winner of the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament.
07:53And former AEW world champion from Aarons Creek, Virginia.
07:59Weight 229 pounds.
08:02Hey, Matt.
08:05Adam.
08:07Hey.
08:07He is a former AEW international champion.
08:22A former AEW international champion.
08:26A former IWGP world heavyweight champion.
08:41And a four-time reigning and defending all elite wrestling world champion.
08:48World champion.
08:49World champion.
08:50World champion.
08:51World champion.
08:54Gen.
08:54Gen.
08:55Moxley.
08:59Moxley.
09:00Outspoken and demonstrative is our champion
09:13Quite frankly, he just doesn't care
09:15Well, he's definitely gonna care
09:19Once he locks horns with the hangman
09:23As you know, JR, these guys have had battles in the past
09:25They're both big-time heavy hitters
09:27Jeffrey Paul Turner holding the briefcase aloft
09:29So we can assume that the championship is inside that briefcase
09:33Correct, correct
09:34We haven't seen it, ex-Cottler, have you seen it?
09:36No, we have not
09:37173 days laid eyes on the AEW World Championship
09:41A wry smile on the face of the champion
09:44Boy, this ought to be physical
09:48As Taz would say, nasty in a hurry
09:52Yes, sir
09:53And, you know, Texas death, you know, man
09:55These are crazy-ass matches, man
09:58They're dangerous
09:58And they are not gonna be exchanging holes, I would think
10:02Moxley fires the first salvo, hangman answers
10:05I remember every Texas death match, seemingly, that I called back in the day
10:11Wow
10:11They're that special
10:12Yeah, I believe that
10:13And the personalities involved in them are legends
10:16Like Terry Funk
10:18For example, killer Carl Cox
10:21They love those Texas death matches
10:23They love those Texas death matches
10:23Big man, Adam Page, the best all-time record in Texas death matches in AEW
10:27Four and one, victories over Moxley
10:29Christopher Daniels, Adam Cole, and Lance Archer
10:32He's coming to his eternal rival, Swerve Strickland
10:38Let's remember to win it
10:39Your opponent cannot answer the bell
10:42So you don't have to
10:44We're out of submission
10:47The only way to win it
10:48Beat your adversary senseless
10:51That's one way you might approach that equation
10:54Hangman's on the way
10:55Hangman is swarming John Moxley here
10:58I don't have a way to do with that
10:59Wearing out that shoulder
11:01Talk about career records
11:04Moxley and Hangman have shared the ring four times
11:07They've split the series two and two
11:09This is a big-time rubber match
11:10Perhaps no higher stakes than this one
11:14Stopping Moxley like you owe the money
11:16Oh, Marina swiped at the leg of Hangman
11:19Hangman turned his attention
11:20And Moxley seizes
11:22Yeah, I think Hangman made a mistake
11:24He had Moxley down
11:25And he just kind of walked away from him
11:26I think he got hung up in the moment
11:28It's worth of 25,000 people here
11:31Right
11:31Going crazy to him
11:32That can happen sometimes
11:34And I got like Moxley can exploit you
11:36If you do that
11:36Moxley with a fork
11:38We've seen him employ that
11:40With a certain degree of viciousness
11:44Thanks to Zanadu
11:45Oh
11:46Hangman
11:48Wow, look at this
11:49That's a turnbuckle pass
11:51That could have been
11:51Page's face
11:53Hangman a fork of his own
11:55This is all legal
11:56Can't figure that out, folks
11:57So
11:59There's really no rules here
12:01Double leg by Hangman
12:03And now
12:03He's trying to
12:05He's got a Hangman triangle
12:07Oh, no
12:08A triangle
12:09Oh
12:09Oh
12:10Immediately
12:12The blood welling on the head
12:14Of the world champion
12:15Getting a little funky up here
12:17All right
12:17Good God, Jim
12:20That's genius
12:22We've seen a lot of stuff, haven't we?
12:24I don't know
12:25Oh my God
12:27Well, we knew they would probably get a little bit
12:30A little bloody
12:32Shall we say
12:33Hangman has that in him, man
12:35But this
12:36Hangman draws first blood
12:39But remember
12:40The referee cannot stop the match
12:43Due to blood loss
12:44It is literally
12:45Only knockout or submission
12:47Man, this reminds me so much
12:51Some of those great Texas
12:52Death Backers
12:52But I have to call as a referee
12:54And then broadcast way back in the day
12:57As well
12:57Not at the same time
12:59But seriously
13:02There were guys that built their reputation
13:05Wait, wait a second
13:05Moxley
13:06Trying to wrestle the barbed wire
13:08Oh, no, no, no
13:09He's trying to
13:09Put that in his mouth
13:12You can see it
13:13That's what Mox is trying to do
13:15Close your mouth
13:15Close your mouth
13:16Drop step by
13:22Moxley
13:24And now
13:24I think he's maybe trying to use that barbed wire
13:27As a garage
13:27I think it's across his eyes
13:29Oh, it is
13:31Oh, it's across his forehead
13:32And his goal is in the eye
13:34Everything
13:34Oh, no
13:35Guys, we're only five minutes into the smash
13:37Already
13:38It resembles the Scogi
13:41On a smaller day
13:41Fox here
13:44Fox there
13:45But not as intense
13:47As we're seeing right here
13:48In the ring
13:49At this point in town
13:50Well, that barbed wire
13:54Is sticking on the head
13:55And actually Marina
13:56Shafir biting
13:57Or she's ruthless
13:59A dangerous, dangerous person
14:01Butting at the lacerations
14:03Opened up by that barbed wire
14:05On hangman's head
14:06Enough
14:07We talked about
14:12The violence
14:13That we've seen
14:15In the Texas death matches
14:16Perhaps none more violent
14:18Than hangman and Swerve Strickland
14:20On the floor
14:24And fans
14:28Without a doubt
14:30Giving him some lift
14:30But
14:31They've got a sign up there
14:32Tony
14:35After dynamite
14:36This past Wednesday
14:37The footage aired on
14:38Collision
14:38Hangman and Swerve
14:40Candidly spoke
14:41One-on-one
14:41Both men
14:42Share
14:42Regrets
14:43About their past
14:44Action
14:44And Swerve
14:45That actually
14:45Told hangman
14:46That
14:46He would steer clear
14:48Of hangman's family
14:49Would be in attendance
14:50Here tonight
14:51And
14:52Barbed wire
14:53Right
14:53Still
14:53Chair
14:54Yep
14:54Yep
14:55That continues
14:56And ultimately
14:56Swerve told hangman
14:58Maybe it was time
15:00To let go of the past
15:01After all
15:02And I hope
15:02That's the case
15:03And I do get
15:04The emotions
15:05And I understand
15:06Why both men
15:06Were angry
15:07My god
15:08Burn down
15:08A man's house
15:09Go into
15:10Your son's bedroom
15:12It's just
15:13Beyond what we know
15:15About in Russell
15:15That's creepy
15:16One way
15:19Nicely
15:20To describe it
15:21That
15:22Bob
15:22I can only
15:26Imagine
15:27What that could feel
15:28Like
15:29And one other
15:31Added into that
15:32And I'll never know
15:33John Moxley
15:38Punishing the challenger
15:40You mentioned back
15:44In the 2023
15:46Revolution
15:46What a great event
15:47That was
15:47And that Texas death match
15:49Between these two men
15:50That hangman won
15:52Using the team
15:53That took Moxley out
15:54I thought that was
15:55The greatest Texas death match
15:56I'd ever seen
15:56Well
15:57Here we're like
15:58Seven minutes into this
15:59And I don't know
16:01If you're going to get
16:01Any more violent
16:02Than what we're seeing
16:03Right now
16:03Yeah
16:04I mean I'm not surprised
16:05As far as five minutes
16:06Six minutes
16:07Seven minutes
16:07I get what you're saying
16:08Shivani
16:08But you know
16:09It's a fight
16:09Right
16:09So
16:10A lot of fights
16:11Can end
16:12Make the same
16:13Like in a minute
16:13You know
16:14Like this
16:15It's violence
16:15There's weapons involved
16:16It's Texas death
16:17It's all legal
16:18You know
16:19So
16:19Think back
16:20To I think
16:20The first
16:21Encounter
16:22Between
16:23John Moxley
16:23And hangman
16:24Adam page
16:24It was
16:25A thunderous
16:27Lariat
16:27That ended
16:28The match
16:29Via referee
16:30Stoppage
16:30Believe
16:31You're not
16:31That
16:31Hangman
16:32With that
16:32I believe
16:33It was
16:33Side step
16:35Hangman
16:35Oh he got
16:36On the brakes
16:36He
16:36Got the chair
16:38In his hand
16:38Swinging up
16:39His way
16:39Hangman
16:40Oh
16:40Good God
16:41Oh
16:42Hives the chair
16:42Into hangman
16:44Looking for that
16:44High fastball
16:45He wants to send
16:46Him down
16:46To the park
16:47Yeah
16:50Incomplete control
16:51As the champion
16:52Right now
16:52Challenger
16:53Just ate it
16:54That steel chair
16:56Right in the face
16:57In the face
16:59point you have to consider how much blood these guys are losing and how's it
17:04going to affect their stamina because it's inevitable it has to it will there's
17:10a little slow motion action could see the impact right there the barbed wire
17:15wrapped steel chair and the face of the Challenger hanging in out of pain as
17:19Venus Shapiro assisting the world champion Jon Moxley but I'd say the
17:23right photos here Excalibur in front of our announcements and the Spanish
17:27announced that I'll tell you she's a big asset she's a big asset is this young
17:32lady certainly is though I believe playing as has played a large part in why
17:39Jon Moxley's been so successful as AEW world champion as have all of the Death
17:43Riders she's got a great fighting background yeah
17:50the table set up hangman return to the ring Moxley's almost like he's stalking
17:57Klitsch seems like he's stalking hangman well he knows hangman's hurt so you're
18:05right JR and he but he can do that he can stalk him but he can take his time he
18:10knows the man is badly injured right now and he wants to throw him off the
18:13turnbuckles here onto the table and I think he's gonna and the last thing that
18:19that Moxley warrants is to become a victim of his own offense
18:26now it's his turn to unleash the viciousness digging his teeth into the head of
18:30Moxley the the head that was punctured but repeatedly by that fork
18:36now what's he calling for here give me that glass he wants some black believe he said
18:42glass I heard him here say something glass heard the word glass
18:48you get planted here
18:51glass in the bucket placed under the ring you see you hear referee Paul Turner
18:59giving hangman oh my god you can see the neck of glass bottles there that Moxley's
19:06flattening out as a beleaguered hangman supports himself in the ropes I know they
19:13have no authority but if you're a referee you want to think about maybe this damn thing
19:19is not what we want it to be
19:25see what I'm saying
19:26rubbing rubbing the glass into the face of hangman
19:32you can hear it crunching under the boots of Jon Moxley
19:38as Moxley seemingly on the verge of delivering a pile driver to hangman into the glass
19:47he's fighting it
19:49fighting it
19:51uh oh
19:53look out
19:54set him up here
19:55he's got a bad landing
19:56dead eye
19:57dead eye
19:58dead eye
19:59yeah
20:00Moxley reversing
20:01oh he's hit
20:02yep you have to plant in the glass but he's in care
20:03cause Moxley
20:04oh dragging
20:05hangman through the broken glass
20:07I've never seen this in my life
20:09back and forth
20:10fourth
20:11that is gnarly
20:12that is gnarly
20:13and no way you can work around it
20:17now hangman has had his back drag across glass earlier he got a chair in the back with all that
20:27oh man it's horrible
20:29that is far
20:32oh
20:35moxley
20:37pile driver
20:38right on that glass
20:39so shards of glass
20:41I'll be surprised if something wasn't stuck in the skull
20:44of hanging out on page
20:46now we'll see if hangman can answer the bell here so to speak
20:50here so to speak I know I'm old school but sometimes you gotta look at this
20:56damn thing and say it's enough it's enough but I mean they are the rules
21:01that both men agreed to I understand better submission but I'm gonna override
21:05him hangman page up to a vertical position beats the count mostly walking
21:14around the shards of glass in his back as well guys here's this pod driver
21:19I mean just completely brutal the glass hanging out the back of hangman look at
21:26that whoa
21:32man look at those punch rocks
21:37the knees retaliated didn't expect the knees as Moxley changed levels and Moxley
21:42another pile driver hangman compressed not impressed
21:49there's the count again right now I think the challenger put up a valiant
21:55fight and I think the end is near for hangman here this is bleak very bleak
22:02fear introducing yet another chair into this match
22:04two chairs there right
22:08turn up to six now as Moxley takes a seat
22:15well I wouldn't do that if I was a champion I would stay on hangman this guy is resilient
22:22he's triple tough he's proven that he's a former AW world champion meaning hangman I wouldn't
22:28sit there and have fun with it but champion's gonna do what he wants to do
22:32you know Moxley loves to intimidate as we know
22:34it was John Moxley that said hangman and a page did not want
22:40a Texas death match with John Moxley there was some speculation on this
22:47because of the previous victory hangman or Moxley wanted no part of hangman in a Texas
22:52death match but there was speculation going the other way that Moxley knew that hangman
22:57could not go to the levels of depraved violence that John Moxley is willing to go to
23:03there's gonna have to if he wants to win this one
23:07let's get those two chairs set up now look out what we think may happen may not
23:15Moxley and hangman both jockeying for position on the center strand if he
23:22power bombs hangman off of those turnbuckles I don't know if hangman can
23:26survive it I don't know if he'll be able to come back
23:29scrolled headbutt
23:33hangman was in point of words for Marina Saphir
23:39maybe feeling adrenaline rush I think I was thinking the same thing Ted big adrenaline rush here
23:49fans rising to their feet in anticipation for what they think they're about to
23:54experience Moxley's fighting it it looks like Moxley there was some barbed wire on
23:58that turn
24:00that's around the torso and going to get into the back of that man
24:05well Ted you saw it yeah he's good he did he's using it continue to leak and that's
24:14just got to be anguishing that'll stop anyone someone's grinding barbed wire into
24:20your back John Moxley now taking a moment to compose himself get his balance I think next caliber
24:29might be part of that hesitation or setting up a game plan notice how hangman he turned the
24:34chairs around back to back that's even worse obviously Moxley doesn't realize how
24:41this is going to be really
24:43really bad guys
24:50calamity for the AEW world champion
24:54fans sitting in ringside
24:56some are in hushed silence
24:58because they can't believe
25:00what they have just witnessed and look at this just figure it out folks I mean it's
25:05stoop two stiff chairs back-to-back
25:07hardest part of the chairs back-to-back
25:09and that man's spine just hit it it's getting the 10 count right now
25:12and he was smothered in crushed glass that he incorporated in the match
25:16meaning moxley
25:18look at the eyes of hangman here
25:20hangman can feel the changing tide
25:22oh he's a sick man hangman we've seen that in him
25:24he's deranged
25:25he's got his legs
25:26ready to go with barbed wire on his arm
25:29and rolling elbow
25:30with the barbed wire
25:32hangman
25:33batters moxley again
25:35how much can moxley take of this type of treatment
25:38by the red unit
25:40no destruction of occasion if you remember

25:45we saw you that claudio castagnoli and their mercenary game kid
25:49in that truck earlier
25:51we knew they'd get involved
25:53all of us knew it
25:54everybody in this arena knew it
25:56that has been moxley's mo
25:58since winning the championship
26:00oh death rider avoided
26:02move to the midsection
26:04the blood hook
26:05hangman
26:06oh boy
26:07angels wins
26:08man if that doesn't get it done
26:10i don't know what will
26:12and homage to his one-time mentor
26:16his one-time friend
26:17Christopher Daniels
26:19that was a hard impact
26:21you heard the champion's body
26:23driven into the mat
26:25hangman
26:29oh buddy

26:47driver
26:48hot man
26:50hot man
26:51i don't think we have to
26:52worry about marina anymore
26:53this match
26:54i think you're right
26:55but hangman returns to the ring
26:58and immediately finds himself
26:59in the grip of moxley
27:00but moxley
27:01right to the
27:02chair with the ball boy
27:03dead eyes coming

27:11more
27:12than it was before
27:13and now Claudio Castagnoli
27:18oh come on
27:21i know it's no good spotification
27:23but for god's sakes
27:25do some logic
27:26this is what it's all about jim
27:28this is what the death riders
27:29you're all about
27:30jr i think the i want
27:31logic
27:32would dictate the
27:33the easiest way for hangman at a page
27:35or excuse me
27:36for john moxley to repel hangman at a page
27:38is by the death riders getting involved
27:40i'm not gonna argue with him
27:43whether i agree or not
27:44it makes sense
27:45it's intense
27:46i mean this just goes back to the hell
27:47point i was making at the beginning of this match
27:50this is john moxley subverting sportsmanship subverting
27:53the core values of all elite wrestling
27:55yeah
27:56well no
27:57again
27:58tough to disagree with you
28:00i mean
28:02he
28:03moxley is trying
28:04everything he can
28:05to hold on to that world title
28:07he realizes the threat
28:08that hangman is
28:10so he's gonna have his
28:11you know
28:12his guys do his dirty work

28:20oh yes
28:21well osprey

28:23when they faced off in the hole
28:25and
28:26that if hangman

28:41dad
28:42oh
28:43oh
28:44oh
28:45and after the damage
28:46osprey sustained
28:47to his neck

29:03cannot take this
29:04no one's kidding
29:05oh no
29:06Claudio

29:10no nothing
29:12but pain and agony on his mind
29:14osprey another victim
29:16of the death riders
29:18meanwhile look at John Moxler's caliber
29:19just
29:20in the corner
29:21standing on the mat
29:22taking a breather
29:23watching what's going on
29:24get out
29:25get out
29:26get out
29:27get out
29:28get out
29:29get out
29:30get out
29:31get out
29:32get out
29:33well you gotta give a
29:34little osprey a lot of credit
29:35he did his best effort to come out here
29:36and assist
29:38hangman and stop the top fuller
29:40you're the death riders
29:41Taz
29:42I know you were watching in the back
29:43I mean Samoa Joe
29:44he had to be transported
29:45via stretcher
29:46via backboard
29:47and I think
29:48the same may be in Osprey's future
29:49but right now hangman
29:50oh
29:51Bob Wyatt tables here guys
29:53oh boy
29:54oh hangman
29:55loses control of John Moxley
29:58oh now
30:00Moxley with a choke for stretcher
30:02going for Osprey
30:03but back
30:04to our world championship match
30:05our Texas death match
30:06our Texas death match
30:07hangman is fading
30:13Taz we've seen how dangerous Moxley can be with those chokes
30:16yeah no he applies them properly
30:18but right now he's got those barbed wire tables in mind here
30:22maybe a vertical suplex
30:25oh
30:26no wonder why
30:27a little barbed wire
30:29or put that in your pipe and smoke it
30:32well Moxley kind of sacrificed yourself there as well
30:35you're right
30:36well he is a sick bastard
30:39so it makes sense
30:40and now it's gonna be I guess
30:42who can rise
30:43before the ten count
30:46you see another look at the carnage
30:52good old-fashioned vertical suplex
30:54except
30:55and it's called tables with barbed wire
30:57Taz after hangman landed
30:58he slid along the barbed wire
31:01good and look at the shape of Osprey here
31:03geez
31:04just like what happened to Samoa Joe
31:06earlier tonight
31:10Texas death match Jim
31:11you talked about how many of them you've called
31:13how many of them you've seen
31:14it is the most dangerous match in all of pro wrestling
31:17they're a spectacle no doubt
31:21yeah
31:22and Moxley and hangman almost simultaneously back to their feet
31:25but
31:27neither man
31:29with a distinct advantage
31:30the bloodiest I've ever seen to be honest with you
31:34but Tony I
31:35I question those comments because
31:37we knew what we're in store for
31:39we knew
31:41how intense this would be
31:42yeah but I don't think we
31:44I don't think we knew how much blood there would be
31:46maybe we did maybe I was being naive about it
31:50okay let's go
31:51and I hope Osprey is going to be okay
31:52he's not
31:53he's out guys
31:54I don't think you can
31:55I'm going to think about Osprey
31:56he said it himself that
31:57the numbness
31:58in his hands that he felt
32:00that was
32:01as months ago
32:03nobody can compare anyone
32:05with this level of violence
32:06I'm going to tell you that
32:07regardless what you think you're going to see
32:09you can feel the intensity
32:25it rose
32:26like a thumb and off the moment of a hot summer day in Dallas
32:30and the hangman has
32:32he has woken up here
32:33but Moxley
32:35the difference maker
32:36the couch
32:37the bite
32:38the lariat
32:39hangman knows he's not going to get too many opportunities
32:43to beat a reinvigorated
32:46oh
32:47god
32:48Adam Payne
32:49the god style pile driver
32:51and now
32:52Moxley floats over
32:53the bulldog choke
32:54the dog choke
32:55the perfect time to do it
32:56and Taz
32:59this is not a standard pro wrestling match
33:01no
33:02and you know what
33:03a sleeper
33:04compresses the carotid artery
33:06this is straight across the windpipe
33:08of all that Adam Payne
33:09shows you out
33:10you can't answer the 10 count
33:11you lose the match
33:12that's smart what the champions do it
33:13and the Death Riders are basically around the ring celebrating already
33:17and you see the hand
33:19well
33:20might be choked out already
33:22I mean
33:23Moxley he now
33:24and the count
33:25hangman never submitted
33:26now here's the 10 count
33:32Paul Turner
33:33giving the count
33:36a confident champion
33:38John Moxley
33:39feels he is just five seconds away
33:45from yet another defense of his title
33:47yeah
33:48hangman's not moving guys
33:49not answering this thing in four seconds
33:55I see his shoulder moving
33:58that's a good sign
34:00they can at least move around a little bit
34:02oh man
34:03he's up
34:04by the narrowest of margins
34:06peel eats the count
34:07Bailey
34:08Bailey
34:09Bailey
34:15Ah
34:21my
34:25good lord
34:27eyes are closed here
34:29look some high fives
34:31fist bumps going on
34:32on the Deathriders
34:40and Moxley certain of the knockout victory
34:47but the five the ref
34:51and hangman beat the count once again
34:59hopefully moving come on kid pull yourself up
35:01get to his feet
35:05for the second despair maybe maybe yeah
35:10you're right and mox to a tantrum when
35:12when he realized he was up she saw we
35:15lost is not used to get his way not
35:18getting his way I should say right we were
35:19saying itself we caught a glimpse of the
35:21eyes of hangman Adam Page it reminded me of
35:26the eyes of hangman when we saw him in
35:29the depths of his battle with Swerve
35:30Strickland
35:33it's going to the plastic bag
35:35Wheeler Yuta giving the plastic bag just
35:38how Yuta was there the night that Jon
35:42Moxley ended the career of Bryan
35:44Danielson the night that Jon Moxley had
35:47his coronation as AEW world champion for the
35:49fourth time there's nothing to make a decision
35:52here apparently well yeah there's nothing the
35:54ref could do here to stop whatever they're
35:56thinking with this plastic bag we've seen
35:57these guys unfortunately utilize these
36:00plastic bags in the past this is wrong
36:04top of the world Mount Everest now Jon Moxley come down and take everything from you
36:24what was that dark that was that mount ever
36:31it was from way
36:34look here
36:41look at this offensive display nothing's missing everything's on the money
36:49Bryan Danielson out for revenge against the death riders
36:55and
36:58Boy, look at that offensive display.
37:00Nothing's missing.
37:02Everything's on the money.
37:07Bryan Danielson.
37:09Go get him!
37:14Danielson.
37:16Out for revenge against the Death Riders.
37:19Out for revenge against the men
37:21that ended his career.
37:28Look at those kicks.
37:33This is amazing.
37:34Have stuck your heart from beating him up.
37:36Oh, wait, wait, look, look.
37:37Look above.
37:43What the hell is going on here first?
37:50Oh, buddy.
37:54He's back from Mount Everest.
37:56He's descended from the top of Globe Life Field.
38:01And Knox has no clue.
38:02Well, now he does.
38:08And Darby Allen has returned to A.A.
38:14Dabasha!
38:17Man, what a shot that was.
38:19Well, timing's everything.
38:20And Hangman's timing was great.
38:23Here he goes.
38:24Oh, man, it's dropped from Darby!
38:28Woo!
38:30Everything's falling apart for the Death Riders.
38:32Why did we miss that?
38:35And Hangman.
38:36A second box shot!
38:40Moxley staggers to his feet.
38:43Danielson and Darby getting rid of these other guys.
38:46Moxley retreating, or at least attempting to, from Hangman, Adam Page, his challenger.
38:56And it's still anybody's ballgame.
39:00He's on the apron.
39:01Set him up for a dead eye, I think.
39:03Dead eye!
39:04If he could just get away from Mox, and that ref starts counting, man.
39:17Look at this.
39:18I don't know if Mox can answer it!
39:22The dead eye through the table.
39:23Champion and challenger alike.
39:28Bloodied.
39:29Battered.
39:30But Hangman, Adam Page.
39:32Three!
39:32Three!
39:33Four!
39:33Four!
39:34Four!
39:34Five!
39:35Five!
39:40Five!
39:42Hangman, Adam Page.
39:43Five more seconds, we've got a new champ.
39:45Three!
39:45Three!
39:47Keep moving!
39:48Seven!
39:50Three seconds away!
39:51Three!
39:52Three!
39:52Three!
39:53Three!
39:53Three!
39:54Three!
39:54Three!
39:55Three!
39:56Wait a second, Shafir.
39:59Shafir drags up Moxley.
40:02And without Shafir, I don't think Moxley beats the comp J.R.
40:08I don't either.
40:09You're right, you guys are right.
40:10Oh my God, the Bucks ran!
40:13Oh no.
40:15This is just picked up.
40:19Super kicks from the former EVP.
40:22The EVP trigger to their former friend, Hangman, Adam Page.
40:34Oh, jeez.
40:35A bet of nails.
40:38A bet of nails produced from underneath the ring.
40:40And now, the sun may be setting on Hangman Adam Page's challenge for the AEW World Championship.
40:50This is the craziest, wildest thing I've ever seen in my life.
40:54And damn it, Jim, we've caught a lot of stuff.
40:56I don't know anything like this before.
40:58I bet you're right, Tom.
40:59You are right about that.
41:01The stakes have risen by every second.
41:04Oh, before the hand got out of it.
41:09What a quarter's eye here, Hangman screaming.
41:15Oh no, oh no.
41:16Oh, the parallel shift into the nails.
41:20That's got to be it.
41:21Yeah, absolutely, it's over.
41:23Wow, that was really bad.
41:26Look at the face of Moxley.
41:28My God.
41:29Look at the wound on his forehead.
41:31He's got a hell of a gas on his head.
41:37That's a trip to the hospital, that question.
41:39No doubt.
41:41The bigger issue, though, is the challenger.
41:45I think he's dead meat in Hangman, unfortunately.
41:55Seven, count.
41:56Seven, yeah.
41:59That's moving.
42:01Good officiating.
42:09Good discretionary officiating.
42:11And you see Jon Moxley just collapse.
42:14Moxley does not have much more left in the tank.
42:16They're both exhausted, and rightfully so.
42:19Which, as we've talked about, the blood loss.
42:22Your blood is filled with oxygen.
42:24As that flows, as the blood flows from your head,
42:27your body loses oxygen.
42:28Fatigue sets in.
42:29I've had it happen to me.
42:31And what happens is you get these surges of adrenaline,
42:33and then when they're gone, man, you're wiped out.
42:35And I think that's where these guys are.
42:37And the blood's been flowing since the early going.
42:40Since the beginning.
42:41I'm going to make him sniff the belt, I'm going to make him fucking taste the belt.
42:43I'm going to make him fucking taste the belt.
42:43Then he's never going to have, give me a key.
42:46Moxley asking the belt for that key that she's been wearing around her neck for some months here.
42:52Enough, get out of here.
42:53I'm going to make him sniff the fucking belt.
42:55Shaffir instructed by Moxley to get the briefcase.
43:02No!
43:02No!
43:03No!
43:04No!
43:04No!
43:05No!
43:05No!
43:06No!
43:06No!
43:07No!
43:08No!
43:09No!
43:10No!
43:11No!
43:12And push the belt won!
43:13It's Anna!
43:16It's Anna!
43:17Anna!
43:18Have handcuffed Shafir.
43:19To the timekeeper's table!
43:21She reached under the table!
43:22Oh my god!
43:23That's some Brooklyn stuff right there!
43:25Now if you're not...
43:30I'm telling you!
43:33And Moxley...
43:36Now he's tearing, at the chain but...
43:39Oh.
43:40Spe generating chain!
43:41it's swerved with hangman's chain the chain that hangman put in front of him
43:49on thursday wait us man what a dilemma has moxley and crew are in right now has the air
44:00been cleared truly between swerve strickland can the wounds of the past be patched over
44:07there's your answer
44:13man moxley is on three or three helped hangman can you believe can you believe that squirt
44:25threw that chain in and helped hangman and the chain that's in front of him once again wrapped
44:31around the neck of john moxley it's how hangman won their first texas death match
44:36it's a pro backer of the revelation 2023
44:40but hangman grabbing or mox grabbing hangman by the hair
44:43as swerve looking on stoically
44:49oh my god what a visual
45:01spikes in the spine the back of john moxley punctured a hundred times over hangman on a page once again
45:10wrapping the champion's neck with a chain
45:12and hangman oh my god is this his moment is this it

45:43by catwalk
45:44In a pool of his own blood, the former AEW World Champion.
46:11Who could have ever imagined that Swerve Strickland would play the difference maker.
46:17That's Swerve Strickland.
46:19What a journey.
46:21Hangman Adam Page has been on.
46:23He's finally arrived.
46:26He told VICE earlier in the week he's going to make it his personal and professional goal
46:29to see that belt once again.
46:33And he's got a chance in a mere second.
46:36Boy, that match has slobberknocker written all over it.
46:40They beat the hell out of each other.
46:42These two men, Hangman Adam Page, the new champion.
46:46A stunning development.
46:48Swerve Strickland playing an integral role in Hangman Adam Page.
46:53Defeating Jon Moxley in Hangman Adam Page.
46:59Attempting to open that case.
47:02Yeah, he wants to see his brand new championship.
47:04The sweat, the blood of Hangman Adam Page.
47:08Yeah, all over.
47:08I was thinking the same thing.
47:11Yeah, what a battle.
47:13What a battle.
47:16The cruel irony.
47:18Got the briefcase, this thing.
47:21Challenging to open.
47:24How could it be any different?
47:25Hangman Adam Page.
47:33He's emotional.
47:34Tears in his eyes as he surveys the crowd, as he surveys the carnage.
47:38As the realization sets in.
47:42Here it is!
47:42Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match is a new All-In-Wrestling World Champion, Hangman
48:02A celebration fit for a champion.
48:18Gentlemen, we started in October, six years ago, and I really think this is our finest moment
48:25right here.
48:25By far, what a wonderful moment.
48:32And if you take a look at that AEW World Championship title belt, you can see those side plates
48:37belonging to the American Dragon, Bryan Danielson.
48:40It was Danielson defeated by Moxley.
48:42And that night, Moxley putting that World Championship under lock and key.
48:51And now those side plates will be updated to reflect not only the new AEW World Champion,
49:00but a new era, a changing landscape for all Elite Wrestling, as Hangman Adam Page is once again,
49:11your AEW World Champion!
