Jon Moxley vs Konosuke Takeshita Ends in a Draw
The night started with a thrilling match between Jon Moxley and Konosuke Takeshita for the AEW Continental Championship. Both wrestlers gave a strong performance and kept the crowd fully involved from the start.
Many fans believed we might see a new champion. However, the match ended in a time-limit draw. Even after the bell rang, the fight continued. Takeshita hit his powerful Raging Fire move and stood tall in the ring. While he didn’t win the title, he clearly proved he belongs at the top. A rematch seems very likely in the coming weeks.
Babes of Wrath Successfully Defend Their Titles
The Babes of Wrath, consisting of Harley Cameron and Willow Nightingale, defended their AEW Women’s World Tag Team Titles against MegaBad.
It was a competitive match, but Harley Cameron secured the victory with a smart backslide pin. Her growth in AEW over the past year has been impressive.
After the match, things took a dramatic turn. A debuting Lena Kross attacked the champions and aligned herself with MegaBad. This moment possibly introduced a new women’s faction in AEW, adding more excitement to the division.
Hangman Page Becomes Number One Contender
Hangman Page faced Andrade El Idolo in a high-quality match to decide the next challenger for the AEW World Championship.
Both men delivered an excellent performance. The match was evenly matched and could have gone either way. In the end, Hangman hit his Buckshot Lariat and secured the win.
With this victory, Hangman Page is now officially the number one contender. He will challenge for the AEW World Championship at AEW Revolution next month.
Wheeler Yuta Gets His Head Shaved
In one of the most entertaining matches of the night, Toni Storm teamed up with Orange Cassidy to face Marina Shafir and Wheeler Yuta.
The special rule was simple — whoever got pinned would have their head shaved. The action even started in the crowd before moving to the ring.
Toni Storm pinned Yuta with Storm Zero to win the match. After that, Yuta tried to escape, but Jon Moxley forced him back to the ring to honour the stipulation. Storm, Cassidy, and others shaved parts of Yuta’s hair, leading to a hilarious and unforgettable moment.
Kyle Fletcher Retains in Brutal Ladder Match
Kyle Fletcher defended his TNT Championship against Mark Briscoe in a dangerous ladder match.
Both men took huge risks and used ladders in creative ways. It was one of the most physical matches of the night. In the end, Fletcher climbed the ladder and grabbed the championship to retain his title.
This victory likely ends their long rivalry, with Fletcher winning the overall series between the two.
MJF Retains, Hangman Sends a Clear Message
The main event saw MJF defend his AEW World Championship against Brody King.
Last week, King shocked everyone by defeating MJF in under two minutes. This time, however, MJF was fully prepared. The match was intense and competitive, but the result never truly felt in doubt.
MJF hit the Heatseeker and retained his championship. But the night didn’t end there. Hangman Page came to the ring, and the two had a tense face-off. Their upcoming match at AEW Revolution is already building huge excitement among fans.
