AEW Interim World Title Match!

Jon Moxley (c.) vs. Rush (with Jose the Assistant)!

“Rush has not been pinned in over a year,” noted Excalibur.

The Blackpool Combat Club’s William Regal joined the commentary team for this match.

Rush ambushed Rush from behind as Moxley was attempting to enter the ring.

“Rush knows this is the biggest match he’s ever had in pro wrestling,” said Jim Ross.

Rush swiped out the knee of Moxley and began to stomp him. Rush followed up with splashes in the corner.

“Rush showing Moxley that he can fight dirty,” said Taz.

After biting Moxley’s forehead, Rush smeared Moxley’s blood on his chest. Outside the ring, Rush swung a chair at Moxley’s leg but Moxley dodged it. Rush turned his back and Moxley drove Rush into the steel ring barricade with a tope suicida!

“Moxley is working on a 14-match winning streak. He wants to win this or lose it like a man,” said Jim Ross.

Moxley and Rush had a chop fest in the ring. Rush answered with a thrust kick. Outside the ring, Rush wrapped TV camera cable around Mox and began to choke him. Back in the ring, Moxley superplexed Rush.

Moxley rocked Rush with a King Kong lariat! Rush dodged a charge from Moxley and used Mox’s momentum against him, countering with a snap German Suplex. Rush applied a cross face submission. Moxley transitioned out and booted Rush in the jaw repeatedly.

Rush sent Moxley soaring into the buckles with a belly-to-belly suplex.

Rush ran towards Moxley with the Bull’s Horns but Moxley had it scouted. Mox ducked under a knee and nailed Rush with the Deathrider! Moxley applied the bulldog choke submission and retained!

After the match, “The Wizard” Chris Jericho walked onto the ramp with members of the Jericho Appreciation Society!

Jericho: “Moxley I just had to come out here and congratulate you on an amazing match. You’ve done a great job as the interim champion. You are on a roll. But it’s nothing compared to the roll that the Jericho Appreciation Society is on.

“I beat Eddie Kingston. I beat Eddie Kingston! And Moxley, I’m going to beat you. After two-and-a-half years, I’m demanding my rematch for the AEW World Championship in two weeks at Quake By The Lake on DYNAMITE.”

Moxley: “I hate you Jericho. I used to look up to you, that’s why it’s so sad. And I still believe in your own way you are the greatest of all time. All the stuff you’ve got going on now, it’s pathetic. This AEW Championship is the championship in professional wrestling and I made it that way.

“So if you’ve got the balls, leave all that trash at home. I don’t want ‘The Wizard’ or “Le Champion’, I want the guy from Super J Cup, I want the Lionheart. And if this is going to be defended on my watch, it’s going to be Jon Moxley against the last survivor of the Dungeon, ‘Lionheart’ Chris Jericho.”

Excalibur announced new titles—the AEW World Trios Championship—and that there will be a tournament for them! The finals will be held at ALL OUT on September 4th!

Starks sliced Danhausen in half with a spear and pinned Danhausen!

“That was smart of Ricky to do that,” said Taz.

Starks: “Very nice, very evil, but you’re not absolute. And just like last week, I’ve still got a little bit left in the tank. So let’s bring out another challenger, and I’m for real this time.”

HOOK answered the challenge!

“I think business is about to pick up,” said Jim Ross.

“Not smart Ricky,” said Taz.

Tony Schiavone was in the ring to interview a distraught Ricky Starks.

Starks: “I’m not stranger to losing. And I’m okay with that. But I was given that title when people thought it was a noose and I turned it into a tie. Nobody back there can say anything. I did it. I exceeded all expectations. There are people back there who tell me to be patient. My time is right now! I don’t want people to say I had a string a bad luck. It was just a string a bad timing. And that’s why me and Hobbs—”

Tony Schiavone was standing in the ring to interview Jungle Boy!

Luchasaurus walked to the ring with Jungle Boy.

Jungle Boy: “Christian Cage, you are the biggest p-ssy I’ve met in my entire life. I have watched you come out for weeks and talk all sorts of BS about my entire family. And congratulations, you are now the most relevant you’ve been in your entire career. But as soon as I get back here, you tuck your tail and run.

“I didn’t get why you were so angry. You said it was because I threw you out of some battle royal a year ago and you missed out on some winning bonus. You were strapped for cash because your wife just divorced your ass.

“Christian used Luchasaurus to protect him, but that monster is my best friend. And what Christian didn’t realize is he was only being protected from me, because no one is going to get their hands on him before I do.

“Christian made it clear his only goal was to hurt me. If you want to talk trash, then talk trash because I can take it. Three years ago I was standing in a dirt hole with my Uncle Dave and a shovel watching my tears fall into the dirt and turn it into mud, and I dug my father’s grave with my own two hands—”

Christian Cage was backstage and interrupted Jungle Boy.

Christian Cage: “Luchasaurus, you made a mistake and you threw everything away to remain Jungle Boy’s lapdog. Jungle Boy, you think I ran away from you because I was scared? I was scared of what I might do to you. You told me all your secrets, and now I’m going to prey on you.”

The Young Bucks were backstage with the Cutler Cam.

The Bucks were intrigued by the idea of the Trios titles. The Bucks bumped into “Hangman” Adam Page. Page and Nick Jackson wished each other happy birthday. Matt said they had something they had been meaning to talk to Page about. Before they could have that talk, the Dark Order came onto the scene and wished Page a happy birthday.
