Before the action gets underway, get caught up with the live AEW pre-show:
Kenny Omega vs. Trent?
It’s a different environment tonight in the new undisclosed location. Trent is accompanied by Chuck and Cassidy. Kenny is alone but Cody is once again on commentary with Tony Schiavone. Gunn Club, Kip Sabian & Penelope Ford are all acting as audience members.
This match grew out of control with Trent focusing on the hand. there was a funny moment with Kenny Omega heading a dive and asking for a hug with orange Cassidy looking like he was going to acquiesce.
Both men would brawl on the outside with Kenny delivering a powerbomb into a pole on the outside of the Ring. Back in the ring, Kenny gets a two-count off of the fisherman neckbreaker. Trent would regain control and send us to a commercial break with a vicious running baseball slide German suplex on Kenny Omega

Hikaru Shida vs. Anna Jaye
A nice showcase for Shida and it’s unfortunate Excalibur is not on commentary because she won with the Falcon arrow and as he always says, “ nobody kicks out of the Falcon Arrow.”
WINNER: Hikaru Shida.
A video package was shown highlighting the rivalry between Jon Moxley and Jake Hager. They will fight in 2 weeks for the world championship in a No Holds Barred match.

Back from break, Colt Cabana is on commentary with Tony. He will face Lance Archer in the TNT Championship tournament. Lance Archer is an action and he’ll be facing Marko Stunt. High-grade vignette plays with Jake Roberts hyping up Lance Archer.

Lance Archer vs. Marko Stunt
Lance Archer is big. Marko Stunt is not. Marko is told to give his best shot and he tries his best but eventually, the Murderhawk Monster simply destroys him. Archer hits a pounce that would make Monty Brown weep. a vicious chokeslam followed by The Blackheart. After the bout, Archer chokeslams Marko into the audience area.
WINNER: Lance Archer
