We began with Match Four of the Best of Seven Series for the Trios Championships.
Death Triangle (c) vs. The Elite
Nick Jackson was injured early on and returned to the match. Penta hit him with a hammer, Jackson tapped out from Rey Fenix's Ankle Lock. Death Triangle go 3-1 up.
Kenny Omega challenged Death Triangle to a No Disqualification Match, it will take place next week on Dynamite. This series is destined to go to Match Seven, hopefully we will see something new in the remaining contests, its pretty much been a spot fest, there's nothing wrong with that, we, the audience want things to be fresh and not formulaic, its not just an AEW thing, it's all companies really, you tend to know what is going to happen, when it is going to happen when you've been watching a program for a certain amount of time.
"Jungle Boy" Jack Perry defeated Brian Cage via a roll up, he called out Big Bill (aka Big Cass) Stokley Hathaway cut a promo, Lee Moriarty and Bill took out Jungle Boy, until Hook made the save.
The House of Black (Brody King, Buddy Matthews & Malakai Black) quickly defeated The Factory (Nick Comoroto, Aaron Solo & Cole Karter) in their first Trios match since they returned.
Action Andretti defeated Chris Jericho, this was a great match, the crowd reaction here to Andretti's surprise win over one of greatest wrestlers of all time was a nice moment.
Let's see what is next for Andretti, we have seen stories like this before which end up going nowhere.
Ruby Soho defeated Tay Melo, Soho got some revenge after suffering a nose injury from Melo at All Out earlier this year.
Anna Jay attacked Ruby Soho after the match.
In the words of Mark Henry, it is now time for the main event, the Winner Takes All Match for the Dynamite Diamond Ring & AEW World Championship.
MJF defeated Ricky Starks to remain champion, after hitting Starks with a low blow while the referee was distracted, followed by a roll up.
Bryan Danielson ran out to chase down MJF, that looks set to be the next feud for the Championship after MJF took out William Regal weeks ago.
Danielson raised Starks's hand in the air before the show closed out.
In all honesty, despite the build, Winter Is Coming was decent, with some very predictable outcomes, there was a run-in by someone in nearly every match/scenario, including referee distractions, they need to relax with that and be more creative.
The next AEW pay per view is in March so there will be plenty of storyline progression between now and then, let's see how things play out.
