Post-match, Taz tells Hobbs he’s impressive. He fought his ass off and Taz offers him to be a part of Team Taz (that’s option A) and option B: he says no as Cage and Starks beat the hell out of him. Darby Allin’s music hits and he wards his two adversaries off.  Taz yells for Darby to look at him and he tells him he’s going to learn to not stick his nose in their business.

Guns N’ Roses’ Slash, Dennis Miller, NJPW’s Hiroshi Tanahashi, Bully Ray and Jericho’s dad (Ted!) wish Chris Jericho a happy 30 years.

We see Lance Archer who brings up his previous contest with Jon Moxley in NJPW in a Texas Deathmatch for Wrestle Kingdom 14. He’s with Jake and he looks all ready to go.

MATCH 2

AEW World Tag Team Championship

TH2 vs. FTR

Jack Evans quickly rolls up Dax for a two.count. He shows plenty of gusto against Harwood and Angelico keeps the pace until Dax goes for a powder.

Evans climbs the top rope, but Tully distracts Aubrey, and Cash trips him up. FTR is in control.

Eventually, Dax wraps the leg of Evans across the ring post before Cash pulls a Hitman and locks him in a figure four around it as we go to break. FTR remain in control with Evans as Cash knee drops him. Evan pushes Cash mouth first into the turnbuckle, but this gives Dax the chance to tag in and cuts off the ring from Jack.

WINNERS and STILL AEW World Tag Team Champions: FTR

Backstage, The Bucks superkick the camera man filming then and as that cuts off, THe Best Friends have a graphic of FTR as “weenies.” Trent and Chuck come out with shirts on with the same graphic. Trent says as comedy backyard wrestlers, they’re trying to say that FTR are “weenies.” Chuck says something that isn’t a joke is that they’re the number one contenders.  Chuck reveals that their title match is next week on the Anniversary show. FTR goes to take a shot at them with the belts, but the BFs scout it and send FTR bailing.

WINNER: Big Swole

We see Mox at a bar and won’t be celebrating too much because his life as a World Champion is busy. Eventually somebody is going to take him out and it could be Lance Archer. One survives Lance Archer. Their match in Tokyo was vicious and he knows any time he hands the belt to the referee he may never touch it again. Archer is going to have to unstrap that belt off his dead body. Mox repeats Archer’s mantra “Everybody Dies.” He takes a shot and exits.
