AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament: Round One
Orange Cassidy defeats Powerhouse Hobbs (with Hook) via pinfall; Hobbs is absolutely dominant throughout the match, but Orange gets the hard-fought win after an unexpected roll-up when Hobbs loses his temper and confronts the referee.

The reigning AEW World Tag Team Champions, the Lucha Bros (Penta El Zero M & Rey Fenix) come out for some promo time, but they happen to see two men at ringside in FTR’s Super Frogs masks. They go out to assess the situation and unmask the bystanders, only to get attacked by FTR from behind.

MATCH 2
Non-title: AEW Women’s World Champion Britt Baker (with Rebel & Jamie Hayter) defeats Anna Jay via submission; Anna Jay takes it to Britt Baker despite a lot of meddling by Hayter & Rebel. Baker ultimately makes Jay tap out to the Lockjaw for the win. After the match, AEW’s resident puts Jay in the Lock Jaw again, and Tay Conti comes out for the save. Excalibur says that Conti is the number one contender for the Women’s Title, and sure enough, she holds the belt up when Baker bails.
