Eddie Kingston & Ortiz vs. Bryan Danielson & Claudio Castagnoli
It’s main event time!
When we return from the commercial break, we immediately hear the familiar sounds of Bryan Danielson’s theme music. Out comes “The American Dragon” and fellow Blackpool Combat Club member Claudio Castagnoli for our tag-team headline bout of this week’s show.
After the BCC duo settle in the ring, their music dies down and the entrance theme for their opponents hits. The crowd goes bonkers as AEW Continental Crown Champion Eddie Kingston and his friend and tag-team partner Ortiz make their way out to the ring.
They settle inside and the bell sounds to get this one officially off-and-running. Kingston and Danielson kick things off for their respective teams. Danielson avoids locking up with Kingston at all costs early on, leading to “The Mad King” playing to the crowd quite a bit in a fun scene.
Danielson finally does start to engage and he blasts Kingston with some vicious kicks and then does some jumping-jacks to add insult to injury. Kingston fights back and takes over again and then tags in Ortiz. Ortiz hits the ring but Danielson immediately takes over and tags in Castagnoli, who picks up where he left off, taking it to Ortiz.
Castagnoli heads over to taunt Kingston, who flips him off, while Ortiz recovers on the mat. Claudio blasts Ortiz with European uppercuts and then a vicious head butt and some chops. Danielson joins Claudio for a double team spot but Ortiz hits them with a double drop kick.
Claudio ends up catching him from behind and rag-dolling him into the corner to take back over. After this, we shift gears and head into a mid-match commercial break as our main event of the evening continues. When we return, we see Claudio controlling Ortiz on the mat in a hold as the fans try and rally behind him.
We see an eager Kingston looking for the tag from the apron in the corner. Claudio stops Ortiz from crawling for the tag by scooping his legs up and getting him in the giant swing. He heads over and glares at Kingston after letting him go. Danielson tags back in and goes to work on Ortiz, while also taunting Kingston.
Kingston finally gets the hot tag and the crowd goes absolutely insane as “The Mad King” starts taking out any-and-everything that moves. He beats Danielson and Castagnoli down as the crowd roar continues to grow. He tags Ortiz back in and Ortiz comes close to finishing off Danielson, however the BCC member hangs in to keep this one going.
As the action continues, we see Danielson beating down Ortiz while Castagnoli holds onto Kingston on the floor and forces him to watch. Things end up wrapping up like this, with the BCC duo picking up the win. Danielson spits in Kingston’s face before leaving the ring. He talks into the camera vowing to make his life miserable as this week’s show goes off the air. Thanks for joining us!
