The Death Ride & No More Betting On Yourself
The show starts with Cope coming out of an ambulance, saying he wants to show the Death Riders their ride for tonight.
Commentary mentions that ‘Hangman’ Adam Page was supposed to be in action next but they haven’t seen them yet. We go to MJF at a tattoo table and he says the letters AEW & FAM don’t mean anything to him anymore, and only MJF does as it looks like he is getting his AEW ‘Bet On Yourself’ tattoo removed.
We see Adam Page arriving at the arena and heading to the ring in his street clothes for his match.
Adam Page vs. Aaron Solo
Adam Page goes right after Aaron Solo taking him down with a big clothesline before connecting with the Buckshot Lariat for the quick win.
Winner: Adam Page by pinfall at 54 seconds
Page gets on the mic and says there are three things that he hates in this world; running out of biscuits, English Ivy, and when a weak bitch spits in his face. He sits on a chair and says he will stay there until someone brings him MJF so he can give him a beatdown of a lifetime.
MJF comes out with a bloody towel and asks Page if he’s nuts for wanting to fight him right there. MJF says he’s going to go back home to Long Island and train to get ready for the match. MJF then says that he’s worried for Page’s friend and that he should probably check on him and we should find out who’s actually real. We cut to a bloody Christopher Daniels in the back as Page makes his way back there with the chair. Page finds the bloody Daniels and tells the medical staff to help him before he goes off to look for MJF.
The Bounty On Will Ospreay
We then cut to The Don Callis Family who are sitting up in the crowd as commentary mentions Don Callis putting the bounty on Will Ospreay’s head tonight in his match against Bryan Keith.
We go to footage from earlier today where Renee Paquette is in the back with Chris Jericho and congratulates him on the ‘instinct classic’ that he had with Bandido on this past Collision. Jericho asks if Renee wants to apologize for how she treated him last week, as we see Don Callis & Mark Davis coming out of his office. Callis says he needs someone like a Bounty Hunter to take care of Ospreay as Jericho starts Bryan Keith has what it takes to beat Ospreay tonight and that he is Callis’ man.
Will Ospreay vs. Bryan Keith
The crowd chants for Will Ospreay, as he starts the match by locking up with Bryan Keith. Ospreay stays on top, hitting a Sky Twister press for a two-count before teasing the Hidden Blade, but Keith escapes to the outside where Ospreay meets him with a dive. They take it back to the outside where Keith takes down Ospreay with a big boot as we head to our first commercial of the night.
When we return Keith is still in contract, but Ospreay is quick to come back with a flurry of kicks before hitting a springboard elbow strike for two. Ospreay hits a Stundog Millionaire followed by an Os Cutter for another two before looking at Don Callis & Kyle Fletcher up in the crowd. Keith blocks a Hidden Blade with a knee strike before hitting an Emerald Tiger Driver for two. Ospreay follows with the Styles Clash and the Hidden Blade to pick up the win.
Winner: Will Ospreay by pinfall at 10:50
Ospreay makes his way up the crowd and starts brawling with Fletcher, but security gets in between them to separate them.
They mention that Toni Storm isn’t cleared to travel due to her attack from Mariah May this past Saturday.
Momo Wants Mone
Mercedes Mone is in the back and asks if Momo Watanabe is here to give her an answer. Mercedes bumps into Billie Starkz and pretends to not know who she is. Starkz says she knows that Mercedes knows that she’s an ROH Superstar and tells her to watch her back, as Momo is there with a bat and scares Mercedes away. She drops her TBS Championship as Momo picks it up and says she wants it at AEW Revolution.
The Outrunners (Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum) vs. Murder Machines (Brian Cage & Lance Archer)
We see footage of The Outrunners from SportsCenter at the recent Omaha Mavericks basketball game. Brian Cage & Truth Magnum start the match, but right away Turbo Floyd gets knocked to the outside as Cage & Lance Archer start double-teaming on Magnum. They take the action to the outside as the Murder Machines stay in control heading into commercial.
When we come back, Turbo gets the hot tag in and is able to fight off the Murder Machines in the corner, but gets stopped by a big boot from Archer. They start double-teaming on Turbo before Truth gets involved as all four start fighting in and out of the ring. Archer hits Turbo with a big chokeslam, but he kicks out at two. Archer goes for the Blackout, but he gets distracted by The Hurt Syndicate’s music, as Turbo rolls up Archer for the surprise pin.
Winners: The Outrunners (Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum) by pinfall at 8:24
The Hurt Syndicate tells The Outrunners on the ramp that ‘they got what they wanted’, as it looks like The Outrunners earned themselves a future AEW World Tag Team Championship match.
We see recent history between Cope & the Death Riders as Claudio Castagnoli has his sights set on Cope and says he is hunting him.
“I Don’t Know If I Could Do This Anymore”
We see footage of Ricochet & Prince Nana from Collision before Swerve Strickland & Nana make their way to the ring. Swerve says he made this ‘Swerve’s House’ three years ago when he stepped foot at AEW Revolution. Swerve says it’s appropriate to end Black History Month with him talking about making black history in AEW by winning the AEW World Championship and says Nana is right about saying that the title hasn’t been his focus, regardless he is still the man around here. To prove he’s the best around here, he needs gold around his waist but first, he has to take care of Ricochet who’s walking around with something that doesn’t belong to him. Swerve continues to say that Ricochet isn’t done with him until he says he is as Ricochet’s music plays.
Ricochet comes out in a Philadelphia Eagles hat to get boos from this crowd, but Nana says he has an offer for him after talking to Tony Khan. He presents a rematch between Ricochet & Swerve where the winner gets an AEW World Title shot. Ricochet says all he has to do is whips Swerve’s ass one more time and he accepts. Ricochet says he looks too damn good to do it tonight so says it’ll happen at Revolution. Nana tells Swerve that he wants Swerve to be who he used to be before saying that he took a lot of bullets for him and to see Ricochet walk around with his legacy hurts him and he needs Swerve to get it back, or he doesn’t know if he could do this anymore.
Renee is in the back with Adam Page who says that MJF left and when he finds him, if he doesn’t run him over he’s going to wish that he did.
The Undisputed Kingdom (Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong) vs. FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood) & Daniel Garcia
Cash Wheeler & Kyle O’Reilly start the match, as O’Reilly right away goes for a heel hook but Wheeler is able to grab the bottom rope to break it up. Everyone starts taking turns tagging in and out of the ring before Dax Harwood chops Roderick Strong in the corner and goes for the cover before tagging in Daniel Garcia. Garcia & Adam Cole get into each other’s faces and start trading some words, but O’Reilly breaks it up by kicking Garcia down. All six men go at it and start fighting in and out of the ring with some wild crazy offense.
When we return they are all still going at it in the ring, with O’Reilly hitting a PK on Harwood for a two-count. Harwood comes back with a Sharpshooter, but O’Reilly grabs the bottom rope. We see a triple Sharpshooter spot that becomes a triple small package, but everybody kicks out. Cole & Garcia face off before going to blows. Harwood puts another Sharpshooter, this time on Strong but O’Reilly & Wheeler get involved in a four-way submission. During this, Cole rolls up Garcia in a jackknife pin to pick up the win.
Winners: The Undisputed Kingdom (Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong) by pinfall (11:47)
All six get into a shoving match, as Excalibur announces that Adam Cole is getting a TNT Championship match against Daniel Garcia this Saturday on Collision.
Conchairto Encore
We see Claudio Castagnoli in the back looking for Cope, but Cope is the one who attacks him as they head into the arena. As they make it ringside, Wheeler Yuta joins in and starts attacking Cope with Claudio as Marina Shafir is watching on. They start attacking Cope with chairs, but before Claudio can do a Conchairto, Jay White’s music hits. This distraction causes Cope to gain the upper hand, use the chair, and take out Claudio with a spear, but Shafir gets on Cope’s back, and as Cope fights Shafir off, Yuta takes out Shafir with a Busaiku Knee by accident. White follows with a Blade Runner on Yuta. Cope then delivers the Conchairto on Claudio. We see Jon Moxley in the crowd, but White holds him back by wielding the chair. Cope teases hitting Shafir with a Conchairto, but Willow Nightingale enters the ring and hits the conchairto on Shafir instead.
Harley Cameron vs. Deonna Purrazzo
Right away, Deonna Purrazzo takes Harley Cameron to the mat and starts toying with her, as Taya Valkyrie is seen watching from the back. Cameron takes control, hitting a neckbreaker for two. Cameron goes to the top rope, but Deonna stops her with a running boot, knocking her down to the outside where she lands a sliding dropkick as we head to commercial.
We return with Cameron taking over the match and screaming ‘Feel the Wrath’ before hitting a Shining Wizard for two. Cameron continues with an inverted spinning neckbreaker to pick up the pin.
Winner: Harley Cameron by pinfall at 8:01
We see Cope, Jay White & Willow Nightingale in the back sending Claudio Castagnoli & Marina Shafir away in the ambulance.
AEW International Championship: Konosuke Takeshita (c) vs. Orange Cassidy
Don Callis joins the commentary team with Mark Davis by his side. Konosuke Takeshita starts the match by taking Orange Cassidy’s sunglasses and biting and breaking them apart, but Orange takes out another pair. Takeshita takes Orange down and passes the second pair to Callis to put on. Orange starts hitting his kicks to Takeshita in the corner, but he stops him. Takeshita struggles to try and suplex Orange back in the ring, so Orange lands a DDT instead. Takeshita knocks Orange down with a huge elbow strike as we head to break.
When we return, Takeshita hits a Blue Thunder Bomb but Orange kicks out at two. They take it to the outside, but as Callis tries to intervene, Bryce Remsburg is there to prevent it. Orange gets on the commentary table and lures Takeshita in to hit him with a Beach Break. Orange follows with an Orange Punch before hitting a Tornado DDT on the outside. Orange takes his sunglasses back from Callis, but when he dives back inside gets hit with an elbow strike. Orange counters a brainbuster, with a Stundog Millionaire. Some more wild back and forth from both until Takeshita hits the Raging Fire for the three count.
Winner: Konosuke Takeshita by pinfall at 12:30, to retain
It is made official, that Konosuke Takeshita is defending his International Championship against Kenny Omega at Revolution
