Coffin Match

As King makes his entrance, Allin attacks him out of nowhere and a giant “Darby” chant erupts. Allin hits King with his skateboard and reveals that it’s covered in tacks as he then grates it across King’s face. The camera pans back and reveal King has tacks stuck all in his midsection. King manages to come back with a huge right hand and then he throws Allin into the barricade before breaking the skateboard in half.

Allin decides to dive onto them anyway but Julia Hart trips him. Buddy hits the ring and attacks Allin and beats him down.

The House of Black lay Allin onto a table in the corner and King hits a Cannonball on him sending him through it. Buddy Matthews opens the coffin but Sting is laying it!

Black teases using it but retreats instead. Sting decides to go after Black as Allin hits a Tope Suicida onto King. Sting and Black come face-to-face on the ramp and King slams Allin into the ring steps.

King drags Allin onto the apron and tries to slam him onto the coffin but Allin managed to grab the chain that Brody King wears to the ring and blasts Brody with it. Allin literally hangs King with the chain over the ropes and when King passes out, Allin lets him go and he falls into the coffin!

Winner: Allin
(JOSH’S 2 CENTS: The crowd was on fire and these guys killed each other. It was teetering on being way over booked with all the interference but Sting’s entrance was cool and the finish was excellent. It seems they be setting up something for the trios tournament between these two teams with an added member to Sting and Allin’s team. ***)

Backstage, Jon Moxley suggests they start calling his title the “FYI” belt since everyone keeps trying to throw the Interim at him every week. He says that belt was forced in Cincinnati and it’s about how much you can suffer when facing him. Moxley calls Jericho the last survivor of the Hart Dungeon and says he will break Jericho, whether it be his spirit or his body.

—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—

In the back, Chris Jericho cuts a promo on Moxley and talks about bringing back “Lionheart” Chris Jericho tonight. He talks about Stu Hart and says he was a vicious, violent sadist and he says the pain that Stu put him through was something that he never wanted to think about again until tonight. He says you can heal a cut and fix a tooth but what he will do to Moxley tonight you can’t fix. He says he will stretch the shit out of Moxley.

Winner & STILL Interim Champ: Moxley via submission (Rear Naked Choke)
(That was probably my favorite Jericho match in AEW. The build to this match was average at best but the story in the match itself was beautiful. Jericho pulled absolutely everything and anything from his entire career and threw it at Moxley only for Moxley to refuse to die until he was finally able to overcome it. The finish was also terrific, great stuff. ****1/2)

Sammy Guevara and Jake Hager attack Moxley after the match but Kingston, Claudio, Ortiz and Wheeler Yuta even the odds. The rest of JAS run out and beat down the rest of BCC and Kingston. Jericho goes to hit Moxley with the World Title belt but CM Punk’s music hits and the got damn building EXPLODES!

Punk attacks JAS and helps BCC clean house. The fans are absolutely losing their minds. BCC leaves the ring and leaves Punk and Moxley to come face-to-face. Punk looks down at the title belt and Moxley flips him off before leaving as Punk smirks at him.
(JOSH’S 2 CENTS: You will not find another person in professional wrestling that elicits a reaction that CM Punk does. That reaction was just unbelievable. You can argue who the biggest “draw” in wrestling is all you want, no one else can hold a crowd in the palm of their hands like Punk.)
