AEW Rebel Heart Dynamite Results: September 9, 2026 – AEW Honors Rebel, AEW World Champion Will Ospreay Beats David Finlay, Swerve & The New Level Keep Trios Titles, More
AEW Rebel Heart Dynamite came to the Akins Ford Arena in Athens, Georgia, on TBS and HBO Max for a special night honoring Tanea Brooks, known to fans around the world as Rebel, who was diagnosed with ALS in March 2026. Rebel joined Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., to host The Waiting Room and then delivered Baker’s signature glove to help administer the Lockjaw for Baker’s first win in nearly two years! The two celebrated together with a ride up the ramp as the crowd showed Rebel all the love!
In the opening match, AEW World Trios Champions Swerve Strickland and The New Level turned away former champions The Conglomeration in a highly entertaining affair for their second successful defense. After the match, The Demand and The Lethal Swirl tried to attack, but Brodido and “Hangman” Adam Page arrived to even the sides before a slightly tense faceoff with Swerve, Austin Creed and Kofi.
AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley was on commentary as he watched his AEW All Out opponent, AEW World Champion Will Ospreay, turn away David Finlay in an Eliminator match. That match started immediately after Ospreay saved AEW National Champion Andrade El Ídolo from a beatdown at the hands of The Dogs following Andrade’s successful title defense against The Beast Mortos. Later, Ospreay revealed to Moxley that he requested his first AEW World Title defense come against Moxley at All Out.
Plus, FTR and Stoke played a big role in helping “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher and “The Jet” Kevin Knight beat the Young Bucks in a Tables Match main event. FTR tried to do more damage after the match, but they were run off by TNT Champion Darby Allin and Steven Borden, who had a successful television debut early in the night in a win over Mark Davis and Josh Alexander!
Here's everything that went down on an amazing night for Rebel!

In Memoriam: "The Butcher" Andy Williams (1977-2026)
Before the night began, we paid tribute to the late Andy Williams, aka “The Butcher,” who tragically passed away over the weekend. AEW will honor Williams this Saturday with a full tribute edition of Collision.
The Waiting Room with Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. & Rebel, Featuring TBS Champion and CMLL World Women's Champion Persephone & Hikaru Shida
Rebel introduced Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., although Baker did refer to Rebel as “Reba” a couple of times, and Rebel made sure to correct her. Baker introduced Persephone, who explained why she stood before us as champion of both TBS and CMLL. Baker acknowledged that her next guest broke her nose, former AEW World and TBS Champion Hikaru Shida. Shida entered and said Baker’s nose looks better now that she broke it. That got a big laugh out of Rebel. Shida said she used to hate Baker and Rebel, but now she hates Maya World. Shida brought everyone together, and Baker said fantasy camp is over and not much has changed, because she’s about to embarrass and overshadow Thunder Rosa.
AEW World Trios Championship Match: Swerve Strickland & The New Level (Austin Creed and Kofi) (c) def. The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong)
For the first time ever, Cassidy and Kofi faced off to open this match in a showdown of massive fan favorites. Cassidy frustrated Kofi by outwrestling him to get a near-fall and then made Kofi miss multiple leg sweeps. Kofi was mystified by Cassidy! Creed and O’Reilly tagged in, with Creed making the interesting decision to trade low kicks with O’Reilly, but he changed speeds and caught O’Reilly off guard with a stiff lariat. Kofi tagged back in, and Creed spun him into a splash, but Strong immediately hit the ring to break up the pin. Strong stomped Creed and Kofi into separate corners and used Cassidy as a weapon to send them into each corner. Cassidy floated over Strong and pushed him into Swerve with a nasty forearm. Strong picked Cassidy up again and fired him backward onto Swerve with a fallaway slam!
Cassidy dragged Kofi to his corner, and O’Reilly and Strong double-teamed Kofi with a knee drop from the top rope! Creed found his way into the fray and wound up isolated by the challengers. Creed tried to fight back with chops, so O’Reilly cut him off and tried a vertical suplex, which Creed blocked with some knees. Creed wound up lifting O’Reilly in a great show of strength for a suplex of his own. Kofi tagged in and took out everyone in his way. He wound up with Strong and ran up the ropes to come down with a crossbody! Kofi hit a big leg drop on Strong and tried to finish him with a Trouble in Paradise, only for Strong to catch him for a backbreaker!
Strong couldn’t capitalize, as Kofi tagged Swerve. Swerve countered out of a pair of Strong backbreaker attempts, so Strong grabbed the ropes to pull up short of Swerve’s dropkick attempt. Strong catapulted Swerve over the top, and in an amazing adjustment, Swerve used a handspring on the apron to land on his feet on the floor! He pulled Strong off the apron and draped him across the waiting knees of Creed as Kofi stomped Strong from the apron! What a spectacular triple team by the champs!
Strong was thrown back in and stumbled to his feet, so he didn’t see Kofi come off the top with a splash to Strong’s back! Creed followed right behind with a top-rope elbow drop! Creed covered, but Cassidy broke it up. Strong got free of Creed and tagged Cassidy while Creed tagged Kofi. Cassidy came off the top, so Kofi ducked and leaped onto Cassidy with a driving knee to the chest! Kofi tagged Creed for a flurry of a PK, seated clothesline, rebound splash and leaping elbow! Swerve tried to roll Cassidy into his grasp, but Cassidy reversed it into a Stundog Millionaire! O’Reilly lit up Swerve with kicks and Strong put Swerve down with a fireman’s carry slam. Kofi hit another PK on Strong, so O’Reilly dropped Kofi. Creed connected on a thrust kick to O’Reilly, who rebounded off the ropes, but Creed was ready for it and used an O’Connor Roll for a near-fall. Creed pulled O’Reilly off the mat and held him by the waist, so Kofi came off the ropes with a jumping Fame-asser! Creed held on and sent O’Reilly to the mat with a wheelbarrow suplex! Everyone was down in the ring, but the crowd was on their feet! The New Level chants were loud!
Swerve came off the top to stomp Cassidy, who moved and stopped Swerve to put his hands in his pockets. Swerve missed a kick and Cassidy came back with a dropkick. Kofi and Creed picked up Cassidy for a double back suplex, so he removed his hands and grabbed them for a double headlock with his hands back in his pockets! Cassidy threw his devastating kicks to a seated Swerve, who finally had enough and rolled to the corner. New Level tossed Cassidy into Swerve, but he took Swerve over with a tijaras. Cassidy ducked under Kofi and Creed and took them both over with a double hurricanrana! Cassidy dove through the ropes and spiked Swerve with a DDT on the floor. Creed followed with a diving forearm to Cassidy! Creed avoided a charging O’Reilly from the apron, but didn’t see Strong, who dumped him on the apron with a backbreaker! O’Reilly and Strong kept the attack going on the barricade, so Kofi went to the top and took them both out with a splash! The crowd broke out in a “KOFI” chant.
Back in the ring, Kofi avoided the Orange Punch, and Cassidy avoided Kofi’s spinning kick. Kofi blocked Cassidy’s spinning DDT attempt and held him for a House Call from Swerve! Kofi held onto Cassidy and draped him over his knee for Creed to come off the top with a stomp that turned Cassidy inside out! That’s Daybreak! Creed covered Cassidy for the pinfall victory and second successful AEW World Trios Championship defense in as many weeks!
The champions exchanged handshakes with O’Reilly and Cassidy, while Strong was already out of the ring. Ricochet interrupted from the stage with The Demand and ROH World Six-Man Champion The Lethal Swirl. The Demand said that because they were able to put down The Conglomeration, they could come down there right now and handle The New Level and Swerve. Ricochet wondered why they got to walk right in and get opportunities. Did they know Swerve? Were they in the same fraternity? Was it the same step team? Then they should get to steppin'! As The Lethal Swirl and The Demand surrounded the ring, former AEW World Trios Champions Brodido and “Hangman” Adam Page ran out to even the odds! After they held the ring and the would-be-attackers returned to the back, Brodido handed The New Level their belts, while Hangman had a tense moment with Swerve before doing the same and exiting the ring.
Steven Borden Needed the Fearlessness of Darby Allin
Borden said everyone was asking him, why now? He said the truth is fear, because he’s been afraid of his father’s shadow. But when Sting and Allin won the AEW World Tag Team Titles, and Borden jumped in the ring, something ignited in him that night. It pulled him into something he’d been running from his entire life. After watching decades of his father’s career at Revolution, he realized the decades would fly by for him too, so did he want to wonder, “What if?” Or should he run into the thing that scares him? And when he made that decision, he called Allin, the most fearless person he knows.
Allin said the training wheels are off and the pressure is on because the Don Callis Family doesn’t think Borden is ready. Allin said he knows what Borden is capable of because he’s not supposed to be the second coming of Sting; he’s the first Steven Borden!
Remembering “The Butcher” Andy Williams
We went to the commentary desk, so Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Taz could share their thoughts and memories about Andy Williams. The world will miss him more than words can say. May he rest in peace.
Don Callis Family Speaks Ahead of a Busy Night
Renee Paquette was with the Don Callis Family ahead of their two tag team matches tonight, but Josh Alexander said he knew all about Steven Borden and that he has a lot to prove. Alexander said he’s been on the shelf for five months, so he has a lot to prove himself. Davis said they will decimate them!
Callis made Kyle Fletcher admit that he worked well together with Kevin Knight in their win over Bang Bang Gang on Collision. Knight agreed and wondered what it would mean if they beat a team like the Young Bucks. AEW International Champion “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada walked up to Fletcher and said he was glad Fletcher finally sees the value of family. Fletcher blew it off and left with everyone else in action tonight.
Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., Hikaru Shida & TBS Champion Persephone def. Thunder Rosa, Maya World & Hyan
This was Baker’s first match back since November 2024. Baker was about to start, but decided to tag out when Thunder Rosa was representing the other side. Persephone came in, but Thunder Rosa dropped her with a pair of shoulder blocks. Persephone snatched Rosa and ran her into the corner. Rosa got out of the corner with a backslide for a near-fall. She dropped Persephone with a Russian Leg Sweep and tagged World before hitting Persephone with a clothesline. World came in with a dropkick as Hyan tagged in and finished off the flurry with a leg drop. She covered Persephone, who kicked out at two! Persephone broke free of Hyan and sent her to the ropes for a power slam, but this time it was Hyan who kicked out. Shida tagged in and tried to kick Hyan, who rolled Shida into a pin attempt. Hyan blocked another kick attempt and grabbed Shida to toss her into the top turnbuckle. World tagged in and Hyan sent her into Shida with a headscissors. World hit a moonsault from the middle rope for a near-fall.
Shida cut World off with an eye rake, and when World went to the ropes, she caught a knee to the back from Baker. World turned around to Baker, so she didn’t see Shida hit her with an enzuigiri. World remained in a position of pain for several minutes with no chance of making a tag. She finally used the last bit of her strength to battle out of the corner to tag Rosa. She ping-ponged back and forth between Shida and Persephone in the corners until Baker grabbed her attention. Persephone put Rosa in a full Nelson, so Shida tried a jumping knee, only for Rosa to move! Persephone caught it in time, but Rosa made the tag to Hyan, who came off the top with a crossbody to Persephone and Shida. She dropped Shida with a flying kick, but Baker came in to break up the pin attempt. Persephone cleared the corner and hit Hyan with a lungblower as Baker tagged in. Shida came off the top with a meteora to Hyan, and Baker cleaned it all up with a neckbreaker. Hyan rolled to the apron to escape further damage, but Rosa and World came out of nowhere with dropkicks to take out Shida and Persephone.
Rosa chased Baker out of the ring, who led Rosa right into a spear by Persephone! World took out Persephone with a crossbody from the apron, only to eat a flying knee from Shida. Baker got on the apron, but the crowd came alive because Rebel came down to ringside in her wheelchair, emblazoned with “ROLL MODEL,” to deliver Baker her glove! The crowd exploded into “REBEL” chants! Baker put the glove on, but Hyan rolled her into a near-fall. Baker hit a thrust kick and put Hyan in the Lockjaw to get the submission victory for her side! Shida and Rebel celebrated on the floor! Baker sat with Rebel, who took them away in her Roll Model chair before pausing on top of the ramp to soak in all the well-deserved love from the crowd! That brought us to a very special tribute to Rebel and the fight against ALS.
AEW National Championship Match: Andrade El Ídolo (c) def. LFI’s The Beast Mortos
Before the next match, we reviewed Andrade’s comments from Collision, where he said that while he has the AEW World Championship Contract, it’s only a matter of time before he wins the AEW World Title, so instead he’s focusing on becoming the greatest AEW National Champion of all time!
Mortos tried to charge Andrade at the bell, but Andrade moved and sent Mortos to the corner. The two exchanged takeovers until Andrade sent Mortos to the floor. Andrade followed with a diving hurricanrana to the floor! Andrade found a pair of admirers in the front row for a selfie and grabbed Mortos to send him back to the ring. Mortos caught a charging Andrade and dropped him with a nasty backbreaker. Mortos clotheslined Andrade over the top and followed with a huge tornillo to take out the champion! Mortos stayed in control until Andrade fought back to win a strike exchange and then took Mortos off his feet with a flying forearm.
With his opponent down, Andrade took the opportunity to remove his pants, and the crowd loved every second of it! Andrade measured Mortos for his running knees, so Mortos got up and popped Andrade up into a Samoan Drop! Andrade kicked out at two to keep his reign alive. Mortos worked Andrade into the corner, but Andrade caught him with a headscissors, which Mortos pulled into an air-robbing lungblower! Andrade managed to kick out in time again! Mortos sent Andrade to the ropes, and Andrade managed to bring Mortos down with a reversal before cracking Mortos with Día de los Muertos! He picked up Mortos and nailed The DM to get the three-count and victory!
Andrade spoke to the fans and celebrated his victory until he was attacked by The Dogs! Gabe Kidd, David Finlay and Clark Connors took Andrade down, with Kidd grabbing the mic to say they always stay a step ahead. Before they could do any more damage, AEW World Champion Will Ospreay rushed out! He ducked a charging Finlay and got in the ring to throw Connors over the top rope. Ospreay clotheslined Kidd over the top and sent a charging Finlay back out the other side! The crowd chanted for Ospreay and helped Andrade back to his feet, as they tried to hold the ring. The music of the Death Riders played, and AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir entered through the crowd so Moxley could join commentary to watch his opponent for AEW All Out.
AEW World Championship Eliminator Match: Will Ospreay (c) def. The Dogs' David Finlay
Finlay charged Ospreay from behind, but Ospreay was waiting with a big boot! Andrade fought Connors back up the ramp, as Finlay took over on Ospreay in the corner. Ospreay came back and worked Finlay into a different corner. The two traded reversals until Finlay spun Ospreay into a release suplex. Finlay brought Ospreay out of the corner with another suplex, but that woke up Ospreay, who unloaded on Finlay with punches. Finlay came back and stomped Ospreay before hitting a barrage of punches of his own.
Ospreay turned up the intensity with a series of chops and a back body-drop before clotheslining Finlay to the floor. Ospreay fed off the crowd and leaped over the top with a crossbody to take Finlay down! Ospreay paused to stare at Moxley before turning his attention back to Finlay. When they returned to the ring, Finlay knocked Ospreay off the ropes and turned the tide of the match. Ospreay managed to turn it back around with a springboard forearm. He connected on a corkscrew kick to get a near-fall. Ospreay and Finlay traded uppercuts until Finlay gained the advantage, but Ospreay came back with a barrage of kicks. Finlay stopped Ospreay from going to the ropes and hit a backbreaker that got him a two-count.
Ospreay rebounded and sent Finlay to the ropes for a pop-up powerbomb, which he stacked up, but Finlay managed to kick out again! Ospreay measured for the Hidden Blade, so Finlay bailed to the apron. Ospreay came after him, so Finlay draped him over the top rope. Finlay clobbered Ospreay with a lariat and covered, but Ospreay managed to kick out. Ospreay reversed Finlay into a hurricanrana to get yet another near-fall. He bounced off the ropes and connected on a spectacular OsCutter! Finlay kicked out! Ospreay went for a Hidden Blade, but Finlay cut him off and flipped him into an Overkill attempt, which Ospreay reversed into a Stundog Millionaire! Finlay bounced into the ropes and into the waiting arms of Ospreay, who finished Finlay with a Styles Clash to get the three-count! While Ospreay stared from the ring, Moxley was nothing but complimentary on commentary before leaving with Shafir.
Brodido & "Hangman" Adam Page Will Continue the Hunt for the AEW World Trios Titles
Renee Paquette was with Brodido and Hangman and asked them if they were still after the AEW World Trios Titles. King said that was a good question and wondered if Hangman was still up for going after the titles with them since he has a reputation for getting around the trios division. King didn’t think Page was looking for the trios titles when he came back, and Page agreed, but said he needed that and still needs it. If it’s cool with them, he still wants to be a trio. King left it up to Bandido, who was all for it!
TNT Champion Darby Allin & Steven Borden def. Don Callis Family's Mark Davis & Josh Alexander
For the first time ever on AEW TV, Borden made the walk down the aisle alongside Allin for this high-pressure tag team match! Don Callis joined commentary, but it was Tony Schiavone who spoke up to note how special it was to be calling Borden’s first televised match on TBS, the same channel where he called so many of Sting’s matches.
Allin and Davis were both in first until Davis pointed at Borden, so he tagged in the match to a big ovation! Borden tried to match power with Davis and was initially shut down until he hit a big body shot and took Davis over with an arm drag. He brought Davis to the corner, and Allin tagged in to take over the headlock. Davis threw Allin away and tried to hit Borden, but Borden caught him first and bounced him back and forth with Allin. Allin knocked Alexander off the apron and took Davis down with a springboard Coffin Drop! Allin didn’t see Alexander tag in and got chop blocked by Alexander, which allowed Davis to hit an ugly senton splash to fold Allin in half!
The legs and back of Darby became a target for Alexander and Davis, with Allin in big trouble and unable to get to Borden for a tag. Allin was locked in a Texas Cloverleaf and crawled to make a tag, so Davis pulled him up for a powerbomb then paid tribute to “The Butcher” with a duck walk around the ring! Davis taunted Borden and slammed Allin before tagging Alexander. He slammed Allin and tagged Alexander, who slammed Allin again. Davis tagged back in and went to pick Allin up, but Allin surprised him with a small package for a near-fall! Davis tried a senton splash, but missed, so Allin had a path to Borden for a tag! Alexander knocked Borden to the floor and was immediately droplicked by Allin into the turnbuckles. Borden got back up on the apron, and Allin almost made it to him, but Davis grabbed Borden and threw him into the barricade.
Alexander nearly broke Allin in half with a backbreaker and tried to charge him in the corner, but Allin got his boots up. Davis got the same treatment, so he grabbed the boot and tried to back drop Allin, who landed on his feet into Alexander’s waiting arms for the same attempt. Allin slipped out the back again and tagged Borden! The crowd came unglued as he unloaded on Davis and Alexander! First he slammed Alexander and then muscled up to bodyslam Davis onto Alexander! On the floor, Borden jumped off the steel steps to take Davis down with a flying clothesline. Back in the ring, Borden had Alexander in a fireman’s carry and chucked him over his head onto the mat. Borden followed with a leaping elbow drop and covered Alexander for a two-count. Borden was too preoccupied with Alexander and didn’t see Davis come in from behind. He worked Borden into the corner and tried to pull him up to the top rope, but Borden dropkicked Davis instead! Borden went up for a superplex, which Alexander stopped with an Argentine Powerbomb! He covered, but Allin saved Borden to keep the match alive!
Alexander quickly subdued Allin and attacked Borden in the corner. He whipped Borden to the other side, and Borden tried to leap back over Alexander, but Alexander caught him on his shoulder. Borden floated backward to his feet and had Alexander in position for a Scorpion Death Drop! Allin went to the top and came down with a Scorpion Coffin Drop! Allin dove onto Davis on the floor while Borden covered Alexander to get the pinfall victory in his first Dynamite match!
After the match, we took a special look at the events that brought us to the AEW World Tag Team Champions Adam Copeland and Christian Cage challenging the Young Bucks and FTR to a 3-Way Ladder Match at AEW All Out!
"The Toxic Spider" Thekla Interrupted by AEW Women's World Champion Mercedes Moné and Willow Nightingale!
Thekla came out to the ramp and greeted the crowd like only she can. She addressed AEW Women’s World Champion Mercedes Moné and said she doesn’t need a title to have a celebration when the party follows her everywhere! Thekla didn’t grow up a fangirl. She saw someone getting beat up with a raw chicken carcass in a bar and thought she could do that! Thekla tried to continue, but was interrupted by Moné from the crowd. Moné wondered why Thekla thought she would scare her. She said the name is “Big D Moné” and swung her title, noting that Willow Nightingale knows how it tastes. Thekla said if they can agree on anything, it’s that Willow Nightingale is “the dumbest bitch and the worst women’s champion in the history of AEW!” Moné nodded from the crowd as Thekla continued to run down Nightingale in the ring until Nightingale’s music hit and she was charging to the ring! Thekla bailed before Nightingale could get to her, and she was joined by Julia Hart and Skye Blue to complete Triangle of Madness in the aisle while Moné held up her AEW Women’s World Title from the crowd.
Will Ospreay Tells Jon Moxley He Asked for Their All Out Match
In the back, we saw AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley, Marina Shafir, Daniel Garcia and Gabe Kidd, but PAC came barging in to tell Moxley he was right to say you should never trust Will Ospreay. Garcia said he always kind of liked Ospreay, so PAC reminded him about what happened at Redemption. Kidd got in Garcia’s face and reminded him of their history with Ospreay, including breaking his neck, so why are they showing him respect now? PAC and Kidd continued to insult Ospreay’s name to Moxley until Ospreay himself showed up! Ospreay asked Moxley if he could muzzle Kidd, which sent Kidd into a fury until Shafir led him away. Garcia followed after, while Moxley got to his feet and faced Ospreay. Ospreay asked him if he was surprised, because Ospreay wasn’t. He was the one who asked for the match, because he owes Moxley for the training to get him ready for the Owen Hart Tournament. Moxley is the only person to pin Ospreay this year, so Ospreay thinks that makes Moxley the #1 Contender. But it won’t be like Dynasty when Moxley beat Ospreay to retain the Continental Title. Mox can have the Death Riders out there to second him. And it won’t be a 20-minute time limit because for the AEW World Title, it’s 60 minutes. Ospreay isn’t coming for revenge; he’s coming with a plan, and he’s calculated. He knows exactly how to beat a Death Rider. What a great way to start his reign by carving into the skull of the ace. Moxley said it looks like Ospreay has it all figured out. Ospreay said he’ll see him in Chicago and left. Moxley peered back at PAC, who shook his head. Moxley threw a chair and stormed away.
Tables Match: Don Callis Family's "The Jet" Kevin Knight & "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher def. The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson)
While Fletcher and Knight waited in the ring, the Young Bucks made their entrance for the main event, but hit the ring ready to fight, and the two sides came to blows right away! Matt Jackson sent Knight to the floor with a backdrop out of the corner, so Fletcher charged in and ate a boot from Nick Jackson. Matt catapulted Fletcher into Nick for another kick and then held Fletcher up for a stomp from Nick off the top. Matt trapped Knight’s head on the apron so Nick could come across with a kick to knock Knight back to the floor! The Bucks soaked in the cheers and hit Fletcher and Knight with stereo crossbodies from the ring to the outside!
The Bucks set up a table near the apron and tried to suplex Fletcher and Knight through at the same time. Fletcher and Knight blocked those attempts and brought the Bucks back in the ring with suplexes of their own. Matt ran Fletcher into Knight and then backdropped Knight while in Fletcher’s grasp! Fletcher hit a big boot on Matt, but Nick held onto Fletcher as Matt floated over for a sunset flip/German Suplex combination! Nick kicked Knight from the apron, and he landed on the table. The Bucks both went to the turnbuckles, so Fletcher pulled Knight to safety, or so he thought! As they got away from the table, Matt flew off the top rope to take both out with a crossbody over the ring post!
The Bucks set up a table in the corner, so Nick went to get Knight, but he low-bridged Nick over the top to the floor. Matt caught Knight’s springboard attempt and turned it into a pair of Northern Lights suplexes. Fletcher tried to stop a third, but also got caught, and Matt tried to put both through the table until they broke free. Nick stopped Fletcher and Knight from putting Matt through the table and took both down with a tijaras/armdrag takeover. Nick flipped over the top into the waiting arms of Fletcher and Knight, who powerbombed him on the apron! Matt came out of nowhere to boot Fletcher onto the table, which lodged him between the wood and steel barricade. Knight kicked Matt over the top rope to the floor as Fletcher got back to his feet and shouted orders to Knight. Knight flew off the top with a springboard clothesline to take out both Matt and Nick Jackson!
The Bucks came back when Matt hit Fletcher with a Sliced Bread #2 off a table and then a DDT on Knight. The Bucks tapped Knight in the ropes, so Matt could hold Knight for a senton bomb from Nick! Fletcher stopped the Bucks from setting up a table, so Matt hit Fletcher with a facebuster. They put Fletcher over the top rope, so Nick could stomp him in the back into Matt for a powerbomb on the table, laying on the mat! The table didn’t break, although that was still a devastating landing for Fletcher!
Matt held Fletcher in a tombstone position on the apron while Nick went to the top. Before Nick could come off, Knight jumped up and brought him down with a hurricanrana! On the apron, Fletcher reversed the hold to grab Matt as Knight went to the top. Matt escaped and pushed Fletcher into Knight, who had a rough landing on the turnbuckles. Nick snapped Knight down to the mat with an avalanche hurricanrana! Matt jumped onto the ropes and yelled, “SEE YOU IN HELL!” He came down with a spike DDT to Fletcher on the apron!
Back in the ring, all four men squared off and Fletcher caught a superkick from Nick and tried to throw it into Matt, but Matt ducked, and Knight got it instead! The Bucks took Fletcher down with short-range superkicks, so Knight tried to fight them off but wound up getting planted by the Meltzer Driver! Fletcher tried to powerbomb Nick, so he turned it into a facebuster. The Bucks hit Fletcher with the BTE Trigger! Knight tried to get up on the apron, so Matt jumped over him and tried a sunset flip powerbomb through a table on the floor. Knight hung onto the ropes until Nick superkicked Knight and Matt put Knight through the table! The Bucks were halfway to victory!
Fletcher and Nick fought for position in the ring until Fletcher shoved Nick away. Matt charged at Fletcher, who acted fast and backdropped Matt over the top through a table on the floor! Both teams were back to even! Fletcher hit Nick with a half-and-half suplex and a running boot in the corner. He dumped Nick on his head with a sheer drop brainbuster! Fletcher set up a table and posed for the crowd. He threw Nick at the table, so Nick slid under and slammed Fletcher’s head into the table. Nick superkicked Fletcher and jumped off the table to stick Fletcher with a Canadian Destroyer! Nick superkicked Fletcher onto the table and went to the top rope. Cash Wheeler ran down and pulled Nick down, as Dax Harwood came in from behind. Somehow, Nick fought both off and superkicked both Harwood and Wheeler off the apron! Nick went back to the top, only this time he was stopped by Stokely, who grabbed his leg! That gave Fletcher the chance to recover and put Nick through the table with a brainbuster! Fletcher and Knight win thanks to a big assist from FTR!
After the match, FTR attacked Nick and got some assistance from Knight, which allowed FTR to hit Matt with a Shatter Machine! FTR pulled Matt up for a spike piledriver on the apron, but Darby Allin and Steven Borden ran out with a bat and a chair to make the save! They held the ring and Fletcher and Knight celebrated at the commentary desk. The Bucks returned to the ring and offered handshakes to Allin and Borden, which were accepted despite their long and complicated history. Borden and Allin had a final staredown with Fletcher and Knight as the night came to a close!
