Live from Allegiant Stadium | Las Vegas, NV | Crowd Size: 62,000
SEGMENT ONE
Earlier Today:
The scene opens with the camera focused on the grand entrance of Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. A black limousine pulls up to the entrance, and the crowd of reporters and photographers immediately swarm around it, shouting questions and flashing cameras.
Reporter 1: Mr. Mouse, can you comment on Splinter’s shocking revelation about your health last Monday on Dynamite?
Reporter 2: Is it true that you’re suffering from dementia?
Reporter 3: What about Lenny Mouse’s call for the ouster of the Mouse Brothers from the world of professional wrestling?
Inside the limousine, Benny Mouse, the Chairman of BWM Inc., sits quietly, his expression a mix of confusion and concern. Beside him, Sami Zayn, the Director of Operations, watches the chaos outside with a furrowed brow. He reaches over and gently covers Benny’s face with his hand, shielding him from the barrage of questions.
Sami Zayn: It’s alright, Benny. Let me handle this.
Opening the door, Sami steps out of the limousine and immediately takes charge, his authoritative presence commanding attention amidst the chaos.
Sami Zayn: Ladies and gentlemen, please! Mr. Mouse is not available for comment at this time. We’re here to focus on tonight’s event.
Ignoring the persistent questions, Sami guides Benny out of the limousine and towards the entrance of the arena. With each step, the clamor of the press fades into the background as they make their way inside, leaving the media behind.
Cutting back to the scene outside, the reporters continue to shout questions into the empty space where Sami and Benny once stood, their cameras still flashing in the hopes of capturing any glimpse of the elusive Chairman. Sami Zayn remains silent as the doors of the arena close behind him, leaving the press outside to speculate on the events that unfolded.
A promotional hype video set to ‘I Like It’ by Cardi B, Bad Bunny, and J Balvin plays, showing the long road to AEW’s first PPV, and BWM Inc.’s first PPV in over three and a half years. As a deep voiced narrator runs down the events that brought us here between last summer’s WOW Starrcade and now, the card is highlighted, with a spotlight on all six matches. The narration says that while the World of Wrestling crumbles around us into chaos, the once erratic All Elite Wrestling shines brighter than ever. Tonight, we will witness the Genesis of professional wrestling, with stars born into immortality, and others falling to the wayside.
As the video concludes, the pyro explodes and a raucous sold-out crowd in Las Vegas, Nevada deliver a thunderous ovation. At ringside, Arn Anderson and Kevin Kelly welcome us to the Genesis of professional wrestling, and run down the card. Anderson notes that in the background to tonight’s momentous event, speculation is running rampant about the validity of Master Splinter’s claims regarding BWM Inc. Chairman Benny Mouse’s health, and Sami Zayn’s role in manipulating the Chairman for his own power and gain.
The speculation is ended as Logan Paul’s music hits, and the Social Media Megastar makes his way to the ringside area. Paul stops at the commentary table, and reveals he will be joining Anderson and Kelly for our opening contest for the AEW Television Championship! Kelly notes that the feud between the champion MJF and the challenger the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes dates back to the road to Starrcade, when MJF revealed he would take the place of Wardlow in the tournament finals to crown the TV Champion. Since then, things have gotten personal, with MJF attacking Rhodes’ father, the American Dream Dusty Rhodes.
Match #1 | AEW Television Championship
MJF (C) w/ Wardlow vs. The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes
The arena erupts with cheers as the opening notes of Rhodes’ themesong plays, and the American Nightmare makes his way to the ring to a thunderous ovation.
Arn Anderson: Cody Rhodes is a veteran in this business, and he’s hungry to capture his first singles championship tonight. This match is going to be intense.
Before Cody can get to the ring, however, Wardlow emerges from the crowd with a steel chair! Wardlow begins to viciously attack the challenger, focusing on his knee with the chair. Security rushes to the aide of Rhodes, and a large gang of referees rush to remove Wardlow from ringside!
MJF’s music hits, and the crowd showers him in boos as the AEW Television Champion makes his way to the ring. Cody is helped into the ring, and waves off the referees, much to MJF’s delight.
Kevin Kelly: Cody Rhodes didn’t come this far to give up now. He’s telling the referees that he’s moving forward with this match!
Logan Paul: It’s admirable of Rhodes that he doesn’t want to give up, but he’s clearly not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. He’s nowhere close to 100 percent, but he’s gonna try it anyways!
Arn Anderson: Cody’s got the support of the fans behind him tonight, but he’s going to need more than that to overcome what Wardlow just did to him, and what the champion is about to do!
The referee holds up the AEW Television Championship, signaling that the match is officially underway. MJF and Cody circle each other in the ring, both men ready for battle.
Kevin Kelly: And here we go, folks! The AEW Television Championship is on the line!
The match starts off with a series of technical exchanges, with both MJF and Cody showcasing their mat wrestling skills. MJF gains the upper hand with his underhanded tactics, targeting Cody’s injured knee and working it over relentlessly.
Arn Anderson: MJF is a master strategist, targeting that knee of Cody’s. He knows exactly how to exploit his opponent’s weaknesses. This is why everyone agrees that he’s truly something special.
Logan Paul: Yeah, MJF is definitely in control right now. Cody’s gonna have to dig deep if he wants to turn this around.
As the match progresses, Cody manages to mount a comeback, fighting through the pain in his knee. He fires off a flurry of strikes and high-impact moves, building momentum and getting the crowd firmly behind him.
Kevin Kelly: Cody Rhodes refusing to stay down! He’s fighting tooth and nail to capture that championship!
Arn Anderson: That’s the fighting spirit of Cody Rhodes right there. He’s not backing down from this challenge.
Just when it seems like Cody has the match in hand, Wardlow reemerges and causes a distraction as the referee is joined by security to remove him. Suddenly, Logan Paul stands up and removes his headset, and approaches the ring.
Kevin Kelly: What’s Logan Paul doing?
Paul slides into the ring, with the AEW Television Championship in hand. As Logan Paul swings the championship at Cody, Cody ducks out of the way, causing Logan to accidentally strike MJF instead! The champion staggers backward, dazed and confused, as Cody takes advantage of the chaos.
Kevin Kelly: Logan Paul just decked MJF with the championship by accident!
Arn Anderson: Turnabout’s fair play! We saw the same thing happen to Logan Paul two weeks ago with the contract signing on Dynamite!
Paul, seemingly shocked by the accident, cockily shrugs his shoulders and rolls out of the ring, as the officials at ringside have finally gained control and remove Wardlow from the equation once and for all.
With MJF reeling from the accidental blow, Cody seizes the moment, hitting the Disaster Kick followed by the Cross Rhodes! He covers MJF as the referee counts, 1… 2… 3!!!
Kevin Kelly: Cody Rhodes did it! He’s the new AEW Television Champion!
Arn Anderson: What a turn of events, folks! Cody capitalized on the mistake made by Logan Paul, and now he’s walking out of here with the gold!
As Cody celebrates his hard-fought victory in the ring, MJF and Wardlow look on in disbelief, while Logan Paul shrugs his shoulders, seemingly indifferent to the chaos he caused. The camera fades to black as the crowd continues to cheer for the new champion.
Winner and NEW AEW TV Champion: The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes

SEGMENT TWO
The camera transitions backstage to where Renee Young stands with Darby Allin, the enigmatic and fearless competitor, ready to address the looming challenge of facing Brock Lesnar. Young holds the microphone, her expression a mix of concern and intrigue.
Renee Young: Darby, last week Paul Heyman made some ominous statements regarding your upcoming match with Brock Lesnar. He promised levels of brutality that are beyond imagination. How do you respond to his words?
Darby Allin, his face painted in his signature half-skull makeup, stares into the camera with a steely determination. He adjusts his skateboard, a symbol of his unorthodox approach to life and wrestling, before answering.
Darby Allin: Paul Heyman wants to talk about brutality? Well, Paul, let me tell you something. You don’t start a feud with Brock Lesnar unless you’re ready to embrace pain. And pain? Pain’s been my companion for a long time now.
Darby pauses, letting the gravity of his words sink in, before continuing with a fierce intensity.
Darby Allin: Everything I’ve done in this business, every risk I’ve taken, every scar I’ve earned, it’s all been for them.
Renee looks puzzled, her brow furrowing in confusion.
Renee Young: You’ve referenced “them” before. Who are you referring to, Darby?
Darby evades the question, his eyes glinting with a mysterious energy.
Darby Allin: You’ll see, Renee. They’ll see. Tonight, I’m going to show the world what Darby Allin is made of. Tonight, I’ll prove my worthiness once and for all.
Renee Young: Can you give us any insight into what you have planned for tonight? I’ve heard that you went to Sami Zayn and asked for tonight’s match to be No Holds Barred. Is that wise?
Darby flashes a defiant smirk before offering a final, enigmatic statement.
Darby Allin: Stay tuned, Renee. After tonight, Darby Allin won’t just be a name. He’ll be a household name.
With that, Darby Allin turns and strides off, leaving Renee Young to ponder his words as the camera fades to black, anticipation building for the impending clash between Darby Allin and the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar.
A pre-recorded vignette plays. The screen flickers to life with a burst of energy, showcasing urban landscapes and flashing neon lights. The pulsating beat of “Big Pressure” fills the air as the camera zooms in on a figure striding confidently through the bustling streets.
Narrator (voiceover): In the heart of the city, where the pressure’s high, and the stakes are even higher, there emerges a sensation like no other. He’s not just a wrestler. He’s a legend in the making. He’s Swerve Strickland.”
Clips of Swerve Strickland in action flash across the screen, synchronized with the rhythm of the music, showcasing his incredible athleticism and undeniable charisma.
Narrator (voiceover): With every step, he defies the odds. With every move, he defies gravity. Swerve Strickland brings a new level of intensity to the ring, fueled by the beat of his own drum. From the streets to the spotlight, Swerve Strickland has faced it all. But now, he sets his sights on a new challenge: All Elite Wrestling.
As the music builds to a crescendo, the screen fills with images of Swerve Strickland’s electrifying matches, each move executed with precision and flair.
The screen fades to black, leaving only the words “Swerve Strickland: Coming Soon to All Elite Wrestling” illuminated against the backdrop of the city’s skyline, as the echoes of “Big Pressure” linger in the air.
Match #2 | AEW World Tag Team Championships
The Usos (C) vs. The Outsiders
During the introductions, Arn Anderson and Kevin Kelly recap how we got to this point, with the Bloodline’s Usos defeating Proud & Powerful of the Inner Circle to become the second ever AEW Tag Team Champions. They note that The Outsiders won a number one contender’s match by defeating Jurassic Express, an opportunity given to them by way of apology from the ever unpredictable Hulk Hogan.
The referee holds up the AEW Tag Team titles, signifying that the match is officially underway. The Usos and The Outsiders lock eyes in the center of the ring, both teams ready to prove themselves as the dominant force in the tag team division. Commentary notes that the tag division in BWM Inc. has never been this stacked, and that the other teams have to be watching this one with interest.
The match starts with a feeling-out process as Jimmy and Kevin Nash circle each other in the ring. They lock up in a test of strength, each trying to gain the upper hand. Jimmy uses his agility to dodge Nash’s powerful strikes, while Nash uses his size advantage to overpower Jimmy with sheer force.
Arn Anderson: This is a classic clash of styles, folks. The Usos with their speed and agility, The Outsiders with their power and experience.
Kevin Kelly: This is the opportunity that Kevin Nash has been looking for since AEW’s inception. Big Sexy is looking for one final run atop the pro-wrestling world before he calls it quits. We’ve seen a lot of chaos in route to this opportunity, but Nash is letting all that go tonight and focusing on the task at hand.
As the match progresses, both teams showcase their tag team prowess, executing crisp double-team maneuvers and high-impact moves. The momentum shifts back and forth, with neither team able to gain a decisive advantage.
Kevin Kelly: Back and forth action here between The Usos and The Outsiders! This is what tag team wrestling is all about!
Arn Anderson: Absolutely, Kevin. Both teams are leaving it all in the ring tonight, and the stakes couldn’t be higher!
Just when it seems like The Outsiders are gaining the upper hand, the arena lights suddenly dim, and a video begins to play on the big screen, showing Roman Reigns catching Hulk Hogan with a devastating spear backstage!
Kevin Kelly: Wait a minute! What’s happening backstage? Roman Reigns is assaulting Hulk Hogan!
The distraction causes a momentary lapse in concentration for The Outsiders, allowing The Usos to execute their patented Twin Magic. Jimmy Uso, who was legal, trades spots with a fresh Jey Uso without the referee noticing.
Arn Anderson: The distraction caused by Roman Reigns has thrown The Outsiders off their game! And now, The Usos are taking advantage!
With The Outsiders momentarily confused, Jey Uso delivers a superkick to Kevin Nash, followed by a Samoan Splash. The referee counts the pinfall, and the arena erupts as The Usos retain their AEW Tag Team titles!
Kevin Kelly: The Usos pull off a fast one thanks to the chaos caused by Roman Reigns backstage! What a turn of events!
Arn Anderson: The Outsiders came so close, but in the end, The Usos prove why they’re the champions. It’s a tough break for Nash and Hall.
As The Usos celebrate their hard-fought victory in the ring, The Outsiders look on in frustration, knowing that they were inches away from capturing the Tag Team titles. At ringside, Nash looks devastated by the loss as Hall encourages him to help Hulk Hogan backstage.
Winners: The Usos
Match Time: 10:07
SEGMENT THREE
Outside the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the atmosphere is tense as the legendary Harlem Turtles, Stevie R. and Booker D., along with their iconic mentor Master Splinter, arrive to the arena. However, their excitement quickly turns to confusion and frustration as they’re met with a formidable line of armed security officers blocking their path at the entryway to the building.
Security Officer: Hold it right there! By orders of AEW Director of Operations Sami Zayn, you three are banned from entering the premises tonight!
Stevie R.: What?! You gotta be kidding me!
Booker D.: Moreso! This is outrageous!
Master Splinter remains calm, his wise demeanor contrasting with the escalating tension.
Master Splinter: My friends, let us not escalate this situation. We will comply with the orders given to us tonight, but we cannot be silenced forever. There are so many more layers to all of this, and the truth always wins.
Despite Master Splinter’s attempt to defuse the situation, Stevie R. and Booker D. are undeterred, determined to push through the blockade of security officers.
The trio attempts to push through the security officers, but they are quickly overwhelmed by the sheer number of guards. Within moments, Splinter and The Harlem Turtles find themselves in handcuffs, their protestations falling on deaf ears as they’re escorted away from the premises.
Booker D.: This ain’t the last they’ve seen of us! We’ll be back, and we’ll make sure everyone knows the WHOLE truth!
As Splinter and The Harlem Turtles are led away, the camera captures the frustration and determination etched on their faces. The scene fades to black, leaving the fate of these legendary figures uncertain as the drama unfolds.
Backstage, AEW correspondent Dave Matthews, not to be confused with the singer/songwriter, is standing by with the AEW Knockouts Champion Sasha Banks ahead of her title defense against Rhea Ripley. Matthews adjusts his microphone, his expression serious as he prepares to ask his questions.
Dave Matthews: Sasha, tonight you defend your AEW Knockouts Championship against Rhea Ripley. How are you feeling heading into this high-stakes match?
Sasha Banks, exuding confidence, fixes her gaze on the camera, her intensity palpable as she prepares to speak.
Sasha Banks: How am I feeling, Dave? I’ll tell you how I’m feeling. I’m feeling overlooked. I’m feeling disrespected. I’m feeling like I’ve been fighting tooth and nail for every ounce of recognition I deserve!
She pauses, her words carrying weight as she reflects on her journey.
Sasha Banks: Benny Mouse signing me was supposed to be a game-changer. He promised me the world, Dave. He promised me that I’d be a focal point of this show. But what have I gotten? Empty promises and broken dreams from a clearly demented and out of touch old man!
Her frustration boils over as she continues, her voice rising with each word.
Sasha Banks: While they’ve been parading Athena Star around like it’s 2008 on her retirement tour, I’ve been left in the shadows, fighting for scraps of screen time. But you know what, Dave? Tonight, that all changes.
Sasha Banks: Tonight, I remind the world why I’m The Boss. I’m not just the Knockouts Champion, Dave. I’m the best damn women’s wrestler on the planet. Better than Athena Star. Better than Alexa Bliss. And damn sure better than Rhea Ripley!
As Matthews nods in understanding, Sasha Banks walks off, her focus unwavering as she prepares to defend her championship and reclaim her rightful place in the spotlight.
Match #3 | 6-Man Crimson Car Match
The Inner Circle (Chris Jericho & Proud & Powerful) vs Bryan Danielson, Kenny Omega, and ‘Hangman’ Adam Page
The camera cuts to the parking lot of the Allegiant Stadium, where six men stand amidst a sea of cars, ready for the carnage about to unfold. The teams are set: Chris Jericho and Proud & Powerful of the Inner Circle on one side, and Hangman Adam Page, Bryan Danielson, and Kenny Omega on the other. Kevin Kelly and Arn Anderson are on commentary, their voices filled with anticipation as the match is about to begin.
Kevin Kelly: Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for the highly anticipated 6-Man Crimson Car Match, a first of its kind brawl, and a new take on the classic BWM Inc. match! This is going to be an all-out war in the parking lot!
Arn Anderson: You said it, Kevin. These six men are about to tear each other apart using anything and everything they can find in this parking lot. This has been brewing for months, and it’s finally time to settle it! Let the chaos begin!
The bell rings, and the match is officially underway. The competitors waste no time, immediately lunging at each other and engaging in a brutal brawl amidst the rows of parked cars. The sound of metal crashing against metal fills the air as they use the vehicles as both weapons and shields.
Kevin Kelly: And here we go! This match is already off to a chaotic start!
The scene is chaos as the six men brawl, and our cameras take turns following Page and Ortiz, Danielson and Jericho, and Santana and Omega.
Bryan Danielson spots a dump truck nearby and decides to investigate. As he approaches, he is ambushed by Sammy Guevara and Jake Hagar, who were hiding inside! The two Inner Circle members launch a surprise attack, but Danielson fights back valiantly, ultimately sending them flying into the dump truck with a series of devastating strikes. Danielson gets back into the driver’s side seat, and much to the horror of Jericho and Proud & Powerful, he raises the bed of the truck and dumps Guevara and Hagar into a nearby dumpster!
Kevin Kelly: Good God almighty!
Arn Anderson: That’s a 20 foot drop into that dumpster! We need to get some medical attention out there for Hagar and Guevara!
As the chaotic match continues to build towards a climax, Kenny Omega finds himself bloodied and battered, but he refuses to back down. With a surge of adrenaline, he manages to hit a V-Trigger on Chris Jericho, staggering the veteran wrestler! Meanwhile, Hangman Adam Page sets his sights on Ortiz, hoisting him onto the hood of a nearby car and hitting a Dead Eye, denting the hood and drawing blood!
Kevin Kelly: Hangman with the Dead Eye onto Ortiz! That car’s hood is destroyed!
Arn Anderson: And look at Kenny Omega! He’s fighting through the pain, refusing to give up!
With Jericho and Ortiz out of the equation, Page and Omega grab Santana by his arms and hold him in place. From across the lot, Danielson delivers a battle cry scream before bum rushing the confined Santana, delivering a devastating Busaiku Knee to Santana, sending his head crashing through a car window.
With Santana incapacitated, Danielson goes for the pin, and the referee counts to three!!!
Kevin Kelly: It’s over! Omega, Danielson, and Page emerge victorious in this brutal Crimson Car Match!
Arn Anderson: What a spectacle, Kevin! These six men put it all on the line tonight, and in the end, it was Omega, Danielson, and Page who stood tall!
As Danielson’s music hits and the faces celebrate bloodied and battered, EMTs and medical personnel are finally able to attend to Hagar and Guevara, stretchering them out of the arena. Anderson and Kelly say we’re half way through what’s been a surprising and chaotic night, with more action still to come!
Winners: Bryan Danielson, Kenny Omega, and ‘Hangman’ Adam Page
Match Time: 25:19
SEGMENT FOUR
Backstage, Renee Young stands with the intense and determined Kevin Owens, the number one contender for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship. The anticipation is palpable as Owens prepares to share his thoughts ahead of tonight’s main event.
Renee Young: Kevin, tonight you have the opportunity of a lifetime as you challenge for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship. What are your thoughts heading into this monumental match?
Kevin Owens, his gaze steely and focused, wastes no time in delivering his response, his words carrying the weight of determination and purpose.
Kevin Owens: Renee, tonight isn’t just another championship match for me. It’s the culmination of years of hard work, sacrifice, and relentless pursuit of greatness. I’ve challenged for championships before, but the grand prizes have always eluded the Prize Fighter. Tonight, that changes.
He pauses, his eyes burning with intensity as he speaks.
Kevin Owens: I’m not here to win friends or popularity. I’m here to beat people up. That’s what I do best, Renee. If you doubt me, just ask Granddaddy Duxen how he’s fared since our feud last season.
His confidence radiates as he continues, his words carrying the weight of his convictions
Kevin Owens: There’s a reason why I was the WWE’s second-round draft pick last summer. There’s a reason why Benny Mouse was willing to make a trade with Jeff Murrey to bring me to AEW. I’m here to make an impact, to leave my mark on this industry, and tonight, I plan on doing just that!
He shifts his focus to the current champion, AJ Styles, with a steely determination in his eyes.
Kevin Owens: AJ Styles has had his run with the AEW World Heavyweight Championship, but tonight, that run comes to an end. Tonight, I plan on proving to the world that I am the rightful champion, that I am the best in this business, and that I am the only man who deserves to hold that title!
With a determined nod, Kevin Owens leaves no doubt about his intentions as he prepares to step into the ring and seize the biggest opportunity of his career to date.
Backstage, the atmosphere is tense as MJF, visibly enraged, confronts Wardlow, his frustration boiling over. Wardlow stands stoically, his expression unreadable as he listens to MJF’s tirade.
MJF: Where the hell were you when I needed you out there, huh? You call yourself my muscle, my enforcer, but you couldn’t even be bothered to show up when it mattered most!
His voice dripping with contempt, MJF points an accusatory finger at Wardlow, his anger palpable.
MJF: Do you have any idea how much I pay you, Wardlow? I expect results, damn it! Results that I’m clearly not getting!
He paces back and forth, his frustration evident as he vents his grievances.
MJF: And don’t even get me started on BWM Inc. and the so-called top brass around here in AEW… They clearly don’t value me, Wardlow. They don’t see my worth.
He scoffs bitterly, his disdain for his current situation evident.
MJF: I’m sick and tired of waiting around for things to get better around here. Sure, we’re finally keeping to a regular schedule, but I’m still being treated like I’m just any other employee. I tried to talk to Sami Zayn about this, but he wouldn’t even open the god damn door to his office!
As MJF’s frustration reaches its peak, he takes a step closer to Wardlow, his voice laced with venom.
MJF: Maybe I’ll call Jeff Murrey. Maybe I’ll call Ted Brown. Anywhere would be better than this circus!
Just as tensions reach a boiling point, Wardlow attempts to calm MJF down, but his efforts only seem to further enrage the outspoken wrestler.
MJF: Don’t you dare try to placate me, Wardlow! You’re just as useless as the rest of them!
In a fit of rage, MJF spits in Wardlow’s face, the ultimate sign of disrespect. Wardlow, his patience exhausted, finally steps up to MJF, ready to defend himself. But before the situation escalates further, MJF abruptly turns and storms off, leaving Wardlow seething with anger.
The camera lingers on Wardlow’s enraged expression as he watches MJF’s departure, spit dripping down his temple as the scene fades to black.
Match #4 | AEW Knockouts Championship
Sasha Banks (C) vs. Rhea Ripley
The crowd is on their feet, eagerly awaiting the clash between these two dominant competitors. Arn Anderson and Kevin Kelly provide commentary, discussing the high stakes of the match and the potential implications for Sasha Banks if she were to lose.
Arn Anderson: As we saw earlier tonight, Sasha Banks has been vocal about her dissatisfaction with her position in AEW, and a loss here could be detrimental to her career trajectory.
Kevin Kelly: That’s right, Arn. Rhea Ripley, on the other hand, is looking to make a statement by dethroning the reigning champion and claiming the Knockouts Championship for herself. And you have to know that somewhere, the Baddest Woman on the Planet Ronda Rousey is watching, as she tries to work her way back to the championship she never actually lost.
The bell rings, signaling the start of the match. Sasha Banks and Rhea Ripley circle each other in the ring, their eyes locked in a fierce stare-down. They lock up in the center of the ring, each woman vying for control.
Arn Anderson: And here we go! The AEW Knockouts Championship is on the line!
Kevin Kelly: Both women are known for their hard-hitting styles, Arn. This match is going to be physical from start to finish.
The match begins with a series of chain wrestling exchanges, with both Sasha Banks and Rhea Ripley showcasing their technical prowess. Ripley gains the early advantage with her raw power, overpowering Banks and driving her into the corner with a series of stiff strikes.
Arn Anderson: Ripley asserting her dominance early on here, Kevin. She’s not here to play games!
As the match progresses, Sasha Banks begins to mount a comeback, utilizing her speed and agility to outmaneuver Ripley. She delivers a flurry of strikes, targeting Ripley’s legs in an attempt to weaken her base.
Arn Anderson: Banks fighting her way back into this match now, Kevin. She’s showing why she’s the AEW Knockouts Champion.
Kevin Kelly: But Rhea Ripley is not going down without a fight, Arn. She’s as tough as they come.
As the intensity of the match reaches its peak, both women exchange near falls, each hitting their respective finishers but narrowly escaping defeat. The crowd is on the edge of their seats, caught up in the back-and-forth action.
Arn Anderson: Every time the Knockouts get a chance to show off what they’ve got to offer, they’ve absolutely stolen the show. Tonight has been no different, as both of these women are pulling out all the stops to stand atop the Knockouts Division!
Kevin Kelly: This is what the AEW Knockouts Championship is all about!
As the match reached the 20 minute mark, Rhea Ripley took control. In an attempt to finish Banks off one and for all, Ripley charges at Sasha with a running big boot. Banks ducks, and Ripley accidentally drills Knockouts Referee Kenzie! The crowd gasps in shock as chaos erupts in the ring.
Arn Anderson: Oh my, Kenzie is down! This match has descended into chaos!
Kevin Kelly: And wait a minute, what’s going on over there??
To the surprise of everyone in the arena, Chyna emerges from the crowd, making her way to the ring with a determined expression on her face. She slides into the ring and immediately targets Rhea Ripley, unleashing a vicious assault.
Arn Anderson: It’s Chyna! The 9th Wonder of the World is back! We haven’t seen her in months!
Kevin Kelly: But why is she attacking Rhea Ripley?
With Rhea Ripley distracted by Chyna’s attack, Sasha Banks seizes the opportunity, hitting a devastating frog splash on Ripley. As Kenzie slowly regains consciousness, she crawls over to make the count.
Arn Anderson: Banks with the frog splash! This could be it!
Kevin Kelly: Oh no, not like this!
With the crowd on the edge of their seats, Kenzie’s hand hits the mat for the third time, signaling the end of the match.
Kevin Kelly: It’s over! Sasha Banks retains the AEW Knockouts Championship with an assist from Chyna!
Arn Anderson: What a shocking turn of events, Kevin! Chyna aligning herself with Sasha Banks and costing Rhea Ripley the match!
As Sasha Banks celebrates her hard-fought victory in the ring, Chyna stands tall by her side, the new alliance leaving the AEW universe stunned. The camera fades to black, capturing the aftermath of this unforgettable moment.
Winner: Sasha Banks
Match Time: 21:59
SEGMENT FIVE
Backstage, Renee Young stands with the ever-eloquent Paul Heyman, the advocate for the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar. The tension in the air is palpable as Young addresses the ongoing war of words between Lesnar and his opponent, Darby Allin.
Renee Young: Paul, the rivalry between Brock Lesnar and Darby Allin has been building for months now, with tensions reaching a boiling point. What are your thoughts heading into tonight’s match?
Paul Heyman, his demeanor exuding confidence and authority, wastes no time in addressing the topic at hand, his voice carrying the weight of conviction.
Paul Heyman: Renee, Darby Allin continues to speak in riddles, proclaiming that he’s willing to endure any punishment for “them.” That’s really all he’s done since last summer… But let me make one thing perfectly clear: I don’t care who “they” are. There’s not a soul on this planet who can stop the path that Brock Lesnar has set in motion.
He pauses, allowing his words to sink in before continuing with unwavering certainty.
Paul Heyman: Tonight, my beast will step into that ring with Darby Allin, and he will conquer him. He will tear him limb from limb, leaving no doubt as to who stands atop the food chain in AEW. And once Brock is done with Darby, he will turn his sights back to where they rightfully belong: on capturing the AEW World Heavyweight Championship. Make no mistake, Renee, this isn’t a prediction. It’s a spoiler!
With a confident smirk, Paul Heyman leaves no doubt about his expectations for tonight’s match, his belief in Brock Lesnar’s dominance unwavering.
The scene opens with Hulk Hogan lying on a stretcher in the back of an ambulance, flanked by Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. Hogan seems dazed but oddly cheerful despite the attack he suffered earlier in the night at the hands of Roman Reigns. Nash is visibly angry, while Hall is sitting beside Hogan, looking concerned.
Kevin Nash: Don’t worry, brother. We’ll get revenge for what that punk Roman Reigns did to us tonight. And those Usos… they’re not getting away with it either.
Hulk Hogan (totally out of it): Whatcha gonna do, brother, when Hulkamania runs wild on you?
Scott Hall: Hey, Kev, what’s that smell?
Kevin Nash: Smell? I don’t smell anything.
Scott Hall: No, seriously, it smells like… like…
Hulk Hogan (manic): It’s…. it’s…. IT’S DOOKIE!
From the driver’s seat of the ambulance, Matt Riddle turns around with a grin on his face, holding a joint in his hand.
Matt Riddle: Yo, dudes! I heard you guys were having a rough night, so I thought I’d help you chill out with some good ol’ Mary Jane!
Scott Hall’s eyes widen in shock as he reaches out to take the joint, but before he can, Kevin Nash reacts swiftly, slapping the joint out of Riddle’s hand.
Kevin Nash: Are you outta your mind, Riddle?! Hall’s had enough struggles with addiction already!
The joint, still burning, falls onto Riddle’s lap, causing him to yelp in surprise. He quickly loses control of the ambulance, swerving erratically as the scene descends into chaos.
Matt Riddle: Whoa, dudes! Hang on tight!
The ambulance careens down the road, Riddle struggling to regain control. Suddenly, there’s a loud crash as the ambulance collides with another vehicle. The scene ends with the ambulance wrecked, leaving the fate of Hogan, Hall, Nash, and Riddle uncertain as the chaos unfolds.
Match #5 | No Holds Barred Grudge Match
Brock Lesnar w/ Paul Heyman vs. Darby Allin
The stage is set for the highly anticipated blowoff match between Brock Lesnar, accompanied by his advocate Paul Heyman, and the ever enigmatic Darby Allin. The tension is palpable as the two competitors stand face to face in the center of the ring for the first time since last summer, ready to settle their months-long feud in a no holds barred match.
Kevin Kelly: Ladies and gentlemen, the moment we’ve all been waiting for has arrived! Brock Lesnar versus Darby Allin in a no holds barred match!
Arn Anderson: That’s right, Kevin. This feud has been brewing for months, and tonight, these two men will finally settle their differences in the most brutal fashion possible.
Kevin Kelly: One truly has to wonder if Darby Allin has a death wish… not only did he provoke this match, he asked Sami Zayn to make it no holds barred!
The bell rings, signaling the start of the match, and immediately, Brock Lesnar asserts his dominance, overpowering Darby Allin with his raw strength and aggression. He relentlessly assaults Allin, tossing him around the ring like a ragdoll and delivering punishing blows with precision.
Kevin Kelly: Brock Lesnar wasting no time taking control of this match, Arn. He’s looking to make an example out of Darby Allin tonight.
Arn Anderson: And you can bet that Paul Heyman is loving every minute of it, Kevin. He’s been waiting for this moment to watch his beast tear through Allin!
Despite Lesnar’s onslaught, Darby Allin refuses to stay down. He fights back with everything he has, using his speed and agility to evade Lesnar’s attacks and deliver counter strikes of his own. The match spills to the outside, where Allin finds himself in unfamiliar territory against the brute force of Lesnar.
Kevin Kelly: Darby Allin showing incredible resilience here, Arn. He’s not backing down from the Beast Incarnate.
Arn Anderson: That’s the fighting spirit of Darby Allin, Kevin. He may be outsized and outmatched, but he’s got heart for days.
As the match progresses, Lesnar’s dominance only intensifies. He brutalizes Allin, tossing him into the steel steps and driving him through the announce table with a bone-crushing German suplex. Allin’s face is bloodied and battered, but still, he refuses to give up.
Kevin Kelly: My god, what carnage we’re witnessing here tonight, Arn. Brock Lesnar is absolutely decimating Darby Allin, just as Heyman said he would!
Arn Anderson: It’s truly hard to watch, Kevin, but you’ve got to admire Allin’s resilience. He just keeps coming back for more.
Kevin Kelly: I’m not sure if it’s resiliency or stupidity at this point.
Just when it seems like all hope is lost for Darby Allin, he manages to summon one last burst of energy. He grabs a steel chair from ringside and delivers a series of vicious shots to Lesnar, finally staggering the Beast Incarnate.
Arn Anderson: This could be his moment, Kevin. Allin’s got Lesnar on the proverbial ropes!
With the crowd on their feet, Darby Allin ascends to the top of a ladder, his body bruised and battered but his determination unwavering. He launches himself off the ladder, executing a jaw-dropping Coffin Drop that sends both him and Lesnar crashing to the outside!! The crowd erupts into a “HOLY SHIT!” chant in response to the carnage at ringside.
Kevin Kelly: Oh my god, what a move! Darby Allin with the Coffin Drop from the top of the ladder!
Arn Anderson: That’s gotta be it, Kevin! Allin’s done the impossible!
But as Allin rolls Lesnar back into the ring and covers him, the Beast Incarnate suddenly springs to life, kicking out at the last possible moment!
Kevin Kelly: Unbelievable! Lesnar kicks out at two and a half! How is this possible?
Arn Anderson: Brock Lesnar is a freak of nature!
With a renewed sense of determination, Brock Lesnar takes control once again, hitting Darby Allin with one F-5 after another. Heyman cheers him on from ringside, confident that victory is within their grasp.
Kevin Kelly: Lesnar with another F-5! And another! He’s relentless, Arn!
Arn Anderson: Allin’s in trouble now, Kevin. There’s no coming back from this.
Just as it looks like Lesnar is about to cover Allin for the win, the lights in the arena suddenly go out. When they come back on, the ringside area is engulfed in a thick layer of fog, sending the crowd into a frenzy of confusion. The fog rises to Lesnar’s mid secton, with the apron of the ring totally obstructed by the thick smoke.
Kevin Kelly: What’s happening?! What’s going on?!
Arn Anderson: I don’t know, Kevin, but something doesn’t feel right.
Suddenly, flames shoot up from the ring posts, casting an eerie glow over the arena. From the darkness, a hand emerges, followed by the ominous figures of The Undertaker and Kane, who drag Lesnar down with them into the depths below!
Kevin Kelly: It’s The Undertaker and Kane! What are they doing here?!
Arn Anderson: I don’t believe it, Kevin! They’ve got Lesnar!
As the fog clears, Paul Heyman is left frantic, searching for Lesnar but finding nothing. Meanwhile, Darby Allin, bloodied and battered but with a maniacal grin on his face, stands tall in the ring, laughing triumphantly.
Kevin Kelly: This is unbelievable! Lesnar has disappeared!
Arn Anderson: What a turn of events, Kevin! I don’t think anyone saw this coming! The Brothers of Destruction emerged, and they’ve dragged Brock Lesnar with them into the bowels of Hell!
As chaos reigns in the arena, the camera fades to black, leaving the fate of Brock Lesnar unknown as senior official Michael McMahon has no choice but to rule this bout a No Contest!
Winner: No Contest
Match Time: 17:33
SEGMENT SIX
As the ring crews work to repair the ring, Arn Anderson and Kevin Kelly discuss what an insane night of action we’ve seen thus far as we head into our main event. Kelly says it’s been three and a half years since BWM Inc. held a PPV, and regardless of the validity about Benny Mouse’s mental state, one has to give credit to Sami Zayn as the Director of Operations for finally getting All Elite Wrestling on the right track. Anderson says that although Benny Mouse and Sami Zayn have remained elusive throughout the evening, he has it in his ear that Zayn has announced that All Elite Wrestling will return to PPV in eight weeks on March 31, as we bring the world our second PPV, AEW New Horizons!
