ORANGE CASSIDY vs LIO RUSH – INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Coming out to answer Orange Cassidys challenge is Lio Rush.
Tony; “It’s Lio Rush! We haven’t seen him in AEW in over 18 months”
Excalibur: “Cassidy will have his hands full tonight”

To start the match, Cassidy accepts a handshake from Lio Rush, with a very limp hand. Cassidys hand returns to his pockets and he starts laying slow kicks into Lio’s legs. The crowd is cheering along with every kick.

Lio decides to actually sell the kicks and when Orange goes for his final kick, the superkick. Lio falls down to a knee. All this to bait Cassidy in. Lio looks up at Cassidy and leaps up to hit a hurricanrana pinfall combination. Cassidys hands still in his pocket. 1…2.. Cassidy kicks out!

Rush and Cassidy jump straight back into the action with Lio running the ropes, Cassidy ducks a clothesline and runs the ropes himself, hands still in pockets. They meet in the middle, and Lio hits another hurricanrana but Cassidy rolls through with it and continues to run the ropes, Lio leaps frogs over Cassidy, hands still in pockets, and then charges towards the ropes himself and both men collider with duel crossbodys.

In the end, both men now have a feel for each other, the match is still very even. Lio Rush hits a rapid fire sequence on punches and slaps to Orange’s chest and face, finishing with a stiff elbow, and he stumbles into the corner. Lio lifts Cassidy up to the top ropes and looks for a superplex, but Orange counters it into a Stundog Millionaire, Lio is stumbling around the ring now and Orange comes in for an Orange Punch, now the pinfall. 1….2….LIO KICKS OUT.

Cassidy gets back up and he is now pumped up, he takes off his elbow pad, setting up for another Orange Punch but Lio is ready for it and gets himself out of the way and behind Cassidy with his speed, and hits a snap German Suplex on Cassidy. Lio turns and charges at Cassidy who lifts Lio over his head only for Lio to catch himself on the top rope, he looks back and jump backwards off the top rope and hits Cassidy with a poisionrana. Then he climbs to the top rope and hits a Final Hour frog splash and a pinfall. 1…2… Orange kicks out!

Lio, punches the mat in anger that didn’t work, getting the ref’s face and slapping his own face. He snapped out of this fit and lifted Cassidy up to his feet near the ropes a looks for a Come Up Stunner but Orange collapses to the floor as Lio rises up from the ropes and Orange catches him on his way down for a roll up. 1…2….3!

ORANGE CASSIDY WINS vai pinfall 16 minutes.

Lio is shocked he let himself get caught like this, angry with himself, he starts slapping himself, talking to himself, saying: ‘Not like this’, ‘I can’t’, ‘No, please’. Then his face goes stone cold. Cassidy comes over to check on Lio, grabbing his shoulder and offering his hand again. Lio pounces up and tackles Cassidy to the floor. He starts swinging left and right hooks at Orange, who raises his arm to block them. Rush flips Cassidy over and locks his arms under Lio’s legs. Then Lio starts throwing elbows into the back on Cassidys head. After 6 or 7 shots, security tackle Lio off of Cassidy. Rush is just laughing as he is restrained by security. Doc Sampson comes into the ring to help Orange.

Jay Whites music plays, and he comes down to the ring alone, not rushing, as Cassidy is still being attended to. He waves to Lio as he is carried away from the ring, screaming out: ‘I didn’t mean to do it!’, ‘It wasn’t me’. Jay gets himself on the side of the ring closest to Cassidy. Suddenly, the crowd starts to rile up, and Jay White turns to find Andrade, who hits him with a Discus Elbow and drops White right there. Andrade starts screaming at Jay White as he stands over him, picks him up and hits an El Idolo on the floor. Andrade looks in the ring and sees Orange Cassidy finally getting back to his feet. Andrade slides back into the ring and pushes the doctors and security off Cassidy, grabs him by the mouth, and says: ‘You are not finished with me yet, Cassidy!’ Then Andrade hits Orange with the El Idolo and leaves the ring.


STATLANDER HAS A MESSAGE FOR TBS TOURNAMENT COMPETITORS

Kris Statlander is backstage with Renee for an Interveiw.

Renee: “So Kris, tonight we narrow it down to just two women, to decide who will be challenging you for the TBS Championship at ALL OUT. Do you have anything you want to say to tonights women?”

Kris: “I do, firstly good luck. It’ll be a privilege to face almost any of you. But I also want to say I’m sorry in advance. Because this title belongs to me, it’s part of me now. So if you call me out, I’ll take you out. If you earn it, I’ll make sure you regret it. Come All Out, despite who is my opponent, I will walk out the champion.”

Renee: “Thankyou Kris, back to the–.”

Renee is interrupted but security as they are dragging out Lio Rush, still he is screaming, “Im better now, its out of my system. PLEASE let me down”. The camera turns to look on as security as they take him through the back stage area, just as he gets out of sight. The House of Black emerge and Malakai looks confused, he turns back to Brody and Buddy, making sure they saw what he saw.

Commercial Break

Max turns away and chuckles
MJF: “My biggest regret is ever thinking you were worth looking up to. You are nothing but a stubborn old dog, refusing to accept your end. You will not take this title from me, but if by some miracle you do, just remember. I told you before, I will not quit because that would make me no better than you and we all know thats not true. Because my name is Maxwell Jacob Freedman, and I’m better than you and you know it.”


WILLOW vs TONI STORM vs SERENA DEEBTBS NO.1 CONTENDERSHIP QUALIFIER

All three women make their entrance and stand in different corners of the ring. The crowd is rallying behind Willow. Serena and Toni drift towards each other and start communicating. It looks like a brief partnership between the two will be made to face Willow.

Toni and Deeb lock hands and charge at Willow for a double lariat, Willow charges at them and breaks their hold. She runs to spring off the ropes, and Deeb pulls Toni in the way of Willow while she gets out of the way. Toni gets pounced across the ring and rolls out, Deeb leaps on Willows back for a rear naked choke. Willow runs backwards into the turnbuckle in an attempt to get Deeb off her. 1st attempt, it doesn’t work, but 2nd time it does, and Deeb is now sitting on the top turnbuckle. Willow climbs up the turnbuckle to meet Serena, but Serena grabs her arm and locks in an armbar, draped over top rope.

Taz: “No tope breaks in a threeway, Willow is going to have to find a different way out of this one.”

Willow tries to lift Deeb up with one arm and gets her about halfway, but no luck. Now really screaming out in pain, considering tapping, Toni Storm comes to and hits Deeb across the stomach with a steel chair, then hits her back repeatedly. Crowd goes feral for this and Toni embraces them

Willow and Toni share the ring for 5 minutes, exchanging superplexes, powerbombs, stiff strikes and lariats, before Deeb finally makes her way back in. Runs at Toni Storm with a Chair but Toni ducks and Willow is hit hard across her shoulder. Toni punches through the chair to connect with Deeb and she drops to the floor. Toni turns this quickly into the Storm Zero. 1…2…Willow barely breaks it up before falling back to the floor. Frustrated, Toni pulls Deeb up and throws her into the turn buckle, lifts her up and is looking to her a Top Rope Storm Zero.

Willow comes charging in with a big forearm to stop Toni for hitting the move, Deeb gets out from between Toni’s legs but is still sat on the top turn buckle. Willow steps up to the first turnbuckle and grabs Toni for an elevated german suplex, Toni grabs Deeb, hoping to get some resistance, but Willow was too strong, and she throws Toni over her head while Toni has Deeb and throws her over her head for a top rope belly to belly. Willow pulls down her straps now and picks up Serena Deeb for a Babe with a Bomb to get the pinfall. 1…2…3!

Willow celebrates up the ramp and into the back. Toni Storm is still in the ring when Ruby comes out to comfort her and make sure she’s okay. They make their was up the ramps when Saraya comes out, who doesn’t show the same concern. She yells at Toni.

Saraya: “What was that Toni?! You’re a former champion!”

Toni, exhausted, falls to the floor and Ruby tries to help her up. Saraya reaches down and pulls Ruby up, telling her she needs to prepare. Ruby tries to bring Toni with her, but Toni is left behind and falls. Slowly, she gets back up, and the fans start chanting, ‘TONI! TONI!’. She turns and faces them all, raises an arm, and then Ruby comes back out to help her into the back.


Renee knocks on Hangman’s locker, and there’s no answer. Suddenly Hangman comes walking down the hallway.

Renee: “Adam, I know you’re up next but could we get an idea of how you’re feeling heading into this match with Brian Cage?”

Hangman: “Ofcourse Renee, but if you don’t mind, I’m going to talk to the camera and walk to the ring. Let’s go, ” Renee accepts the notion, and Hangman gestures the cameraman to follow him.

Hangman: “You said I’m soft now, without confidence. You said I’ve lost my spot? Well, tonight, you see what happens when you piss off a cowboy. These people love to tell you whose house it is, but you know what they love more? COWBOY. SHIT!” Hangman continues walking after making that claim and then his music plays.

Brian, looks up to the ramp to see Swerve yelling out to him, ‘Do it from the top’. Brian nods his head and agrees, so he throws Hangman into the corner and lifts him up onto the tope rope, while Brian begins to climb up aswell.

Now Hangman goes to pin, 1…2…3.

HANGMAN WINS via pinfall 14 Minutes.

Hangman: “You really are a dangerous man Swerve. You said you wanted to fight me, but instead, you stand up there and send this oaf to fight. Where’s Prince Nana, because you must’ve left your balls in his stupid ass crown”

Swerve: “Them sound like fighting words Hangman. And yeah, I sent Cage down there to feel you out because in this past year you have devolved into a husk of the man you once were. I needed to know you still have some passion, some drive left in you and looks like there may be a chance the old Hangman isn’t complexly dead yet. So, how about this, at All Out, an event you’ve never won at before I might add. It’s you and me, Swerve Strickland vs Hangman Page at All Out… But, I wouldn’t get too comfortable, because the Mogul Embassy are going to tune you up a little first.”

CM PUNKs music plays, and the crowd erupts. He comes down to the ring alone, except for his REAL World Championship. Embracing the fans on his way down. He collects his mic and waits in the ring for MJF. 

MJFs music plays, and the crowd erupts again, the energy for both men is high. Max is dressed up despite having a match next, AEW World Championship around his waste. He spits hit gum on the ground and HI FIVES kids on his way down to the ring. Grabbing a mic before he gets into the ring, now standing in the middle of the ring while Punk rest in the corner.

MJF: “Cut my music, cut my music. Ladies and gentlemen,I present to you CM Punk. He’s the man around here, at least that’s what he’s telling everyone. But what he forgets to mention is, I’ve beaten you TWICE now isn’t it? You got one in the dog collar match but I beat you twice before that, so yeah. 2 wins MJF 1 win to Punker. Now you think you can beat me again? Well, I am not the same person you fought last year. I am the AEW World Champion. This here is the real belt, not that knockoff your carrying.

CM PUNK: “Alright Max. Since we faced last I’ve won that belt twice! I also never lost it. It is mine by right. You however, cheat to win, while I earn it my victories! I am–“

MJF: “Oh, crying me a river! Phil. I cheated?! Oh no, Oh no. Don’t take me away Mr Straight edge. Grow up! I do what is necessary to climb to the top. Everybody has the same opportunities but I take them! I know I’m a scumbag. They know it, and they love me for it.

CM PUNK: “You think these people loving you makes you a good guy? They’re all just enablers for a little brat named Max. You’re just a knock off of every heel I ever faced in the 2000s. To me, you’ll always just be that kid begging for a photograph.”

MJF: “My biggest regret is ever thinking you were worth looking up to. You are nothing but a stubborn old dog, refusing to accept your end. You will not take this title from me, but if by some miracle you do, just remember. I told you before, I will not quit because that would make me no better than you and we all know thats not true. Because my name is Maxwell Jacob Freedman, and I’m better than you and you know it.”

Now Punk laughs
CM PUNK: “I told you this hate would burn you up inside. Just remember, there was a time I offered you a truce. You won’t get that offer again. Enjoy your match tonight with this man.”

POWERHOUSE HOBBS music plays and he comes down to the ring. MJF just stares at Punk as he leaves, since there’s no one allowed at ringside. Punk whispers something in Hobbs ears on his way up the ramp and then finally leaves.

Hobbs chases after him but Max is faster, Max slips back into the ring and jumps on Hobbs, laying forearms into his back but Hobbs pushes him away, into the corner. Hobbs runs at Max again but he climbs over the ropes this time and down to the floor.

Hobbs immediately pulls Max up and takes him to the announce table where he hits an Uranage onto the table, breaking the table in the process.

Hobbs takes a moment to rest in the ring, allowing the ref to count. At about 8, MJF starts to move, Hobbs goes out to retrieve him. He throws Max onto the apron and tries to get him into the ring but MJF refuses. He holds onto the ropes, so Hobbs starts choking him. This leads to the ref getting involved, but Hobbs pushes him away, this gives Max the chance to kick Hobbs in the crotch and get the upper hand. MJF steps into the ring while Hobbs is draped over the middle rope, looking for a Heat Seeker. Max jumps up to hit the move but can’t get down as Hobbs holds Max up and Alabama Slams him down in the ring.

Hobbs takes a moment then drops to the floor to get back Max back into the ring. MJF gets himself back to his feet as soon as he can, knowing if he stays down too long he will be in trouble. Now furious, Hobbs charges at Max, looking for a lariat but Max ducks the referee eats the move. Somewhat remorsefully, Hobbs stand over the ref. Hobbs turns to MJF and Max picks him up for a big Bodyslam. Max starts fishing for something in his underwear, and pulls out the diamond ring. With the referee down, Max is loading up the diamond ring punch, Hobbs makes it to his feet and catches the punch, kicks Max in the groin, steels the ring, it fits Hobbs pinky finger, and he hits Max with it.

Hobbs gets in the ref’s face this time, the ref has yet to even get back to his feet but Hobbs picks him up with one hand and berates him. While this is happening, MJF is reaching into his pants, looking for his ring and eventually finds it.

MJF WINS via pinfall 16 minutes

After the match, Max just rolls off Hobbs, covered in blood, and is barely able to move. He claws himself to the corner but can’t pull himself up. That’s when CM Punk comes walking down the ramp, unzipping his jacket, ready to throw hands. MJF sees this and tries again to pull himself up again, but no luck. Punk gets on the apron and smiles, laughing even at MJF. Then the crowd noise picks up, and Adam Cole, Rodrick Strong and Kyle O’Rielly slide into the ring and make a barrier between Punk and MJF.
