Welcome back to the blog, it was a great night of professional wrestling, let's take a look at the night's action from the Chase Center in San Francisco.
Mark Briscoe & The Lucha Brothers (Penta Zero Miedo & Rey Fenix) defeated Ari Daivari & The Varsity Athletes (Josh Woods & Tony Nese) on the Zero Hour kick off show.
The first contest of the pay per view was Chris Jericho vs. Ricky Starks, the stipulation being the Jericho Appreciation Society were banned from Ringside. Sammy Guevara tried to sneak in to help Jericho, however, his plans were quickly ended by Action Andretti. Jericho struck Starks with a baseball bat while the referee was distracted, referee distractions happen a lot in this company, respectfully, we've seen it time and time again, not only on pay per views, on Dynamite as well, it's comical at this point, back to the match, Starks blocked the Judas Effect and countered with the Rochambo for win.
After many months of going from allies to bitter enemies, it was time for "Jungle Boy" and Christian Cage to finally settle their differences, or should I say bury? to be honest, this was a standard match, nothing special really, Jungle Taker was born as he picked up the win after closing the lid on Christian and this feud.
Congratulations to The House of Black for becoming the NEW Trios Champions, a much anticipated match that truly delivered, it is time for the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega to move on to the Tag Team Championship and World Championships divisions.
Jamie Hayter defeated Saraya and Ruby Soho to remain AEW Women's Champion, during the post match fight, Ruby threw out Saraya and Toni Storm out of the ring and took out Hayter and Baker to officially align herself with Saraya and Toni Storm. Ruby's destination is no longer unknown.
It was now time for the Texas Death match, the show was not even held in Texas. Adam Page walked out with new entrance music, here are the best moments there was a lot going on, there was blood and barbed wire in the early going of the match, we saw bloodshed by both competitors. Mox trapped Page in the triangle choke and hit him in the head with a fork. Mox threw Page in the corner into the barbed wire wrapped chair, followed by a submission by Mox onto the chair, there was a Powerbomb by Page to Mox onto the top of the barbed wire steel chairs, Page wrapped himself in the wire and proceeded to hit a moonsault to Mox. Page hit Mox with a brick followed by a Buckshot Lariat to Mox's throat, Mox tapped out while being strangled by a chain.
Congratulations to Wardlow for winning the TNT Championship once again via submission against the great Samoa Joe. Powerhouse Hobbs will challenge the new champion next. The TNT championship has been accused of being a "hot potato" it's not against the realms of possibility that the title changes hands when Wardlow and Hobbs meet. Samoa Joe will perhaps move on to feuds in Ring of Honor, we shall see.
Austin & Colten Gunn are still tag team champions. FTR returned while the Gunns cut a promo.
The 60 Minute Iron Man Match for the AEW Championship between champion MJF and challenger, Bryan Danielson ended three falls apiece, the crowd yelled bullsh*t and wanted to see a winner, they got their wish and we went to Sudden Death. Danielson thought he picked up the win after he thought MJF had officially tapped out which allowed MJF to crawl to the floor and hit Danielson with a nearby oxygen tank. MJF made Danielson tap out moments later to remain the Champion.
