The Main Event: Biz Cliz Reunion

For the first time in years, Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson were back to team with the Young Bucks. As the Impact-AEW crossover continues, the Good Brothers came to AEW to take on four members of the Dark Order. In a good back and forth match, it was John Silver who had the best stretch.

The former Bullet Club squad got the win, but their fight wasn’t over. Fenix came out to attack, but was outnumbered. It was former World Champion Jon Moxley who came out to even the odds, and even got one over on Kenny Omega.

The Undercard:

We’re getting Cody vs Shaq. During the AEW Awards (winners listed below) Shaq called out Cody Rhodes for a match. Jade Cargill also wants a match with Brandi, who is out now that she is pregnant. Originally it would be The Rhodes versus Shaq & Jade, but instead Red Velvet is stepping into Brandi’s place. This will be another big celebrity match for AEW, but I’m more looking forward to seeing Jade in an AEW ring.

.@Thee_Red_Velvet is HERE and has laid down the challenge. @SHAQ, @Jade_Cargill – The ball is in your court.

Everyone’s favorite emo father-son duo got a chance to formally respond to Team Taz on this week’s episode. Sting & Darby Allin are ready for their street fight at Revolution. This match could be a cinematic style match, as Sting had to retire from active competition years ago due to a neck injury. It’s going to be fun, but Allin is going to probably take a lot of crazy bumps.

"Come #AEWRevolution in the street fight – It's gonna be showtime" – @Sting & @DarbyAllin respond to #TeamTaz.

Eddie Kingston & Lance Archer started the show, and Kingston reminded us all that he too can take crazy bumps.

After an excellent match between Jungle Boy & Dax Harwood, FTR were not content to leave as losers. Instead, they used help from Tully Blanchard to handcuff Luchasaurus and cut his horns off as trophies. Marko Stunt made the save before they could get to Jungle Boy’s hair, but this midcard tag team feud just became that much more heated.

Britt Baker looked to extract more damage to Shanna after their match, but Thunder Rosa made the save. Rosa & Baker meet next week, and it should be a great match between two of the best women on the AEW roster.

After weeks of taunting & brawling, these two will finally collide in singles competition at BEACH BREAK! It's Dr. @RealBrittBaker D.M.D. w/ @RebelTanea vs. @thunderrosa22.

MJF & Sammy Guevara – still not the best of friends. Sammy sees right through MJF, but will he be able to convince other members of The Inner Circle?

.@The_MJF & @SammyGuevara of the #InnerCircle are STILL not understanding each other.

Grade: B

The build to Revolution continues strongly. I am not terribly interested in seeing Shaq wrestler now, but the match could be quite the spectacle. The other stories: Omega-Moxley, FTR-Jurassic Express, and Baker-Rosa, all of them are getting very interesting. Both the Kingston-Archer & Jungle Boy-Harwood matches were great to watch, and the eight man main event was a fun closer. Overall another strong show on the way to AEW Revolution.
