12-Man Tag Team Match
The Dark Order (Mr. Brodie Lee, Colt Cabana, Stu Grayson, Evil Uno, „5“ & „9“) gewannen gegen The Elite („Hangman“ Adam Page, Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks (Nick & Matt Jackson)) & FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood) via Pin von Lee an Page nach der Big Discus Clotheline.
Match time: 17:29

– Anna Jay and “10” watched the match standing next to the commentary table.
– Dax Harwood injured himself during the match and was accompanied by Cash Wheeler and Adam Page backstage, leaving only Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks. Page returned later.

We see a look back at an earlier time of the day. We see Best Friends arriving in Trent’s mother’s van at Daily’s Place.

A preview of the rest of the evening is presented.

A Jon Moxley promo is recorded. He speaks of having struggled with his demons many times. He understands why Darby Allin challenged him. And now it’s up to Moxley to take care of Allin, his “favorite wrestler at AEW”, and talk about reason and health, because Allin would never give up. Moxley doesn’t want to be the one who ends Allin’s career. Last time he almost broke his neck. But the title is at stake, so he only has one request to Allin: When it’s time to get out of bed, “Stand. Not. More. But he knows that Allin won’t listen to it because he wouldn’t do it himself.

2. Match
Tag Team Match
Best Friends (Chuck Taylor & Trent) won against Santana & Ortiz via pin from Trent to Ortiz after a rollercoaster.
Match time: 13:35

– Ortiz waited for a day of team move from his partner Santana, but was turned off by Taylor (who was out of action next to the ring for several minutes after an attack in the barrier). This gave Trent the opportunity to finish.

MJF presents its campaign for “MJF 2020”. There he fires a member. His helper presents the latest MJF and Moxley polls. MJF leads 100% to -88%. But all of that isn’t supposed to stop MJF from winning the Moxley World Championship. He is asked what it would mean if Allin won today. “Fight a 125 pound (57 kg) emo? Yes, that would be terrible. ”With a wink at the camera, MJF rushes off.

Matt Hardy stands in the ring and talks about his reasons for switching to AEW. He wanted to go where, where he feels respected, where he has his career in hand and where a talented roster is waiting for him. He’s a lot of fun and, like the rest of the AEW, he listens to the fans. And you want to see Matt as Matt. As Matthew Hardy, “Stronger Than Death”. And he brings private parties over on the occasion, which he will always help. That also applies to Sammy Guevara. However, he does not accept his help, instead he is still a minion of Chris Jericho. He even attacked him from behind. So he doesn’t want to help Sammy anymore, he wants to hurt him. During the speech, Guevara crept out from under the ring again and wants to attack Matt from behind. After a brawl, Hardy can gain the upper hand. When Hardy sets up a table, Guevara can fight back. At the end of the segment, Guevara jumps on Matt Hardy through the same table, causing Hardy to have a heavily bleeding wound on the head.

Santana & Ortiz destroy the van of Trent’s mother with a sledgehammer.

3. Match
Tag Team Match
Matt Cardona & Cody (w / Arn Anderson) won against The Dark Order (John Silver & Alex Reynolds) via Pin from Carona to Radio Silence (fk.Rough Ryder).
Match time: 12:05

After the match, Scorpio Sky approaches Cody and knocks on his TNT Championship.

Best Friends stand in front of the destroyed van and are terribly upset about it. Next time, they’ll hit Santana & Ortiz again, forcing them to apologize personally to Trent’s mother.

Santana marches in with a stack of papers. He greets Orange Cassidy during the picture in picture advertisement and says that, like Matt Hardy, he will lose to the Inner Circle. Because the Demo God is not only a master in the ring and on the microphone, he is also a master entertainer and master debator. How fitting that the debate between Cassidy and Jericho is next!

The debate is being raised in the style of a presidential debate entitled “AEW Super Wednesday Debate 2020”. The guest moderator is presented, it is … Eric Bischoff! This welcomes us again. The format is very simple, there are five questions for everyone that neither of the participants knows. And now the two debaters are added. Cassidy “shakes” Bischoff’s hand, but in a way that leaves the latter very confused. Jericho comes to the ring with Jake Hager and his jacket destroyed by Cassidy.

Jericho is asked the first question: “Why do Jericho and Cassidy hate each other so much?” Jericho complains that Cassidy is not properly dressed for the event. Then he tucks a tie on his T-shirt. Jericho claims to hate everything about Cassidy, what he stands for. Everyone would laugh at him behind his back because he is a nobody who plays pocket billiards on every occasion. Cassidy doesn’t answer.

Next question: “Who is the better wrestler, the bigger star?” Jericho: “I am Chris Jericho, multiple title holder, Le Champion.” Cassidy is more of a high school nerd who is stolen lunch money and who is stripped of his girlfriend . Again nothing comes from Cassidy.

Third question. It’s about the climatic changes in the world. Jericho doesn’t want to go into that. Cassidy is talking at record speed about the effects of various factors on the climate. The answer leaves Jericho stunned.

Fourth question. Why is Cassidy so popular? Jericho says he is particularly popular with the smart marks. He is on the pimple on the ass of the wrestling world, which he will express. A lazy person with whom the audience can identify. Further insults follow, Cassidy does not answer again.

Last question: Why does the rematch mean so much to both? Jericho starts, but Cassidy interrupts him: “Shut Up”. He says he knows what Jericho is up to. Because he organized a debate against someone who doesn’t speak. He does not care. What he doesn’t care about is the match next week. It was Cassidy’s biggest match in his life. And it is also Jericho’s biggest match. Because what happens to Jericho if he loses to someone with his hands in his pockets. He wants Jericho to look at him. The man who will embarrass him next week.

Bischoff declares Cassidy the winner because he was very impressed by the climate issue. Jericho briefly insults Bischoff and instructed Hager to finish Cassidy now. The two finish him off and after the Judas Effect he stays there. The Best Friends make the save. I would recommend anyone interested in the debate to take a look at the segment itself, because anything but a summary would go beyond the scope of the report.

Tony Schiavone is back with Dr. Britt Baker (with attachment). The opponent she chose for Big Swole is … Reva! This is not enthusiastic at all, but climbs (with a lot of effort) well or into the ring.
