AEW Trios Championships
The Death Riders (c) vs. The Undisputed Kingdom

A vignette airs showing the rivalry between Ricochet and Swerve Strickland, with Strickland speaking up to Prince Nana for suggesting he forget other issues and focus on Jon Moxley and regaining the AEW World Championship that belongs around his waist.

Once the package wraps up, we return inside the arena where The Undisputed Kingdom make their way out to the tune of Adam Cole’s theme music. The crowd gives them a big reaction coming out as Excalibur talks on commentary about how things led to this upcoming showdown for the AEW Trios Championship.

After they settle into the ring, their music dies down and the theme for The Death Riders trio hits. Out through the crowd comes the reigning, defending AEW Trios Championship team of PAC, Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli. Footage is shown of their recent brawl with The Undisputed Kingdom.

The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this high stakes title tilt in our second match of the evening. As soon as it does, all six men begin brawling on the floor. Excalibur points out things are picking up where they left off this past Saturday on AEW Collision.

The show heads into a mid-match commercial break with everyone still brawling at ringside. When the show returns, Castagnoli is beating down O’Reilly. They each tag out and after some more back-and-forth action, Strong rolls up Yuta, but he kicks out. Yuta then drop kicks Strong as he gets up.

Yuta covers Strong, but he kicks out at two. Strong takes down Yuta with a clothesline, Cole is tagged in. He clothesline’s Yuta and then pump kicks him as he gets up. Cole then hits Yuta with a neck breaker. Strong takes down O’Reilly with a big knee on the floor.

Cole then superkicks PAC who is now legal. Cole pump kicks Claudio who comes in. All three kick PAC as Strong cover PAC, but Claudio breaks up the pin. Yuta goes up to the top as Claudio launches him, but Strong get knees up. O’Reilly gets near falls on Yuta. O’Reilly has an ankle lock on Yuta.

Claudio gets a chair as he is then sent to the floor but Cole and Strong, as the ref has his back turned dealing with the chair, Yuta low-blows O’Reilly and rolls him up for the win. Once the match wraps up, The Death Riders continue the beat down.

Daniel Garcia’s music hits as the TNT champion Daniel Garcia and Team 2.0 duo Matt Menard and Angelo Parker hit the ring to chase of the Trios champs out of the ring. The post-match scene wraps up on that note.

Winners and STILL AEW Trios Champions: The Death Riders

Cope Calls Out Jon Moxley

It’s main event (segment) time!

On that note, the show heads into another commercial break. When the show returns, Cope’s theme hits and “The Rated-R Superstar” comes out along with Jay White. He has Jon Moxley’s briefcase still and heads into the ring with it along with “Switchblade,” as Excalibur promotes their tag-team tilt against Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli.

Cope talks about Mox’s briefcase having the AEW World Championship in it for he doesn’t know how many months now. He asks if anybody wants to see it. He says he has an idea. He heads under the ring and pulls out a case. He says it’s his old pal Spike, who is hungry. He says if Mox doesn’t come out and give him his answer now he’s gonna smash the case and take it.

Mox comes out and asks if Cope thinks he doesn’t care about the title. Cope says he knows he doesn’t. Mox gets offended and loses his cool, saying he’s left pieces of himself in the ring over that title. He says he’s gonna do something now he doesn’t want to, but he’ll show him how much he cares.

Mox says at Grand Slam: Australia he’s gonna break Cope’s neck. He tells him if he wants his shot at the title, he’s gonna get it. He accepts and their fight for the title at AEW Revolution is on. Cope says he’s gonna show everyone how much he cares about it and begins beating on the briefcase with Spike. The Death Riders hit the ring but White keeps taking them out one-by-one.

Eventually Marina Shafir slides in and takes the briefcase and slides back out while they’re fighting. The numbers becomes too much for Cope and White and Mox and his crew end up taking them out, until White fights back. He turns around to see Mox holding Spike.

Cope runs past White and spears Mox before he can do anything. White says he’s got Revolution set, but before he gets there, he and Cope are putting Mox and The Death Riders in the ground this weekend at Grand Slam: Australia.
