Pre-Show Matches
The event kicked off with an entertaining five-minute eliminator tag match as Divine Dominion’s Megan Bayne and Lena Kross defeated Zayda Steel and Viva Van just seconds before the time limit expired. The victory prevented Steel and Van from earning a future AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship opportunity.
In trios action, Death Riders—Claudio Castagnoli, Daniel Garcia, and Wheeler Yuta—picked up a hard-fought victory over The Opps featuring Anthony Bowens, Hook, and Katsuyori Shibata. Marina Shafir played a key supporting role during the intense battle.
The final pre-show contest featured a chaotic 10-man tag team clash. Boom & Doom alongside The Conglomeration defeated Shane Taylor Promotions in an energetic crowd-pleasing encounter packed with fast-paced offense and comedy moments.
Cage and Cope Capture AEW Tag Team Gold
One of the most emotional matches of the night saw Adam Copeland and Christian Cage reunite to challenge FTR for the AEW World Tag Team Championship in a brutal “I Quit” match. The stakes were massive because Cage and Cope would have been forced to retire as a tag team if they lost.
After nearly 20 minutes of physical punishment, dramatic submissions, and weapons usage, Copeland and Cage forced FTR to quit and became the new AEW World Tag Team Champions. The crowd inside Louis Armstrong Stadium erupted as the longtime partners celebrated another historic championship moment together.
Konosuke Takeshita Defeats Kazuchika Okada
Perhaps the biggest shock of the evening came when Konosuke Takeshita defeated Kazuchika Okada to win the AEW International Championship. The match showcased elite-level wrestling, counters, and near falls before Takeshita finally secured the pinfall victory.
The result instantly elevated Takeshita into one of the top stars in AEW and could mark the beginning of a major championship reign.
Owen Hart Cup Tournament Continues
The Owen Hart Cup tournament matches added more excitement to the pay-per-view. Athena defeated Mina Shirakawa in the women’s quarterfinals with a dominant performance.
On the men’s side, Will Ospreay defeated Samoa Joe in a high-energy showdown, while Swerve Strickland overcame Bandido in another outstanding contest that received strong reactions from fans.
Jon Moxley Retains Continental Championship
Jon Moxley successfully defended the AEW Continental Championship against Kyle O’Reilly in a physical no-time-limit match. Moxley eventually forced O’Reilly to submit after a brutal back-and-forth battle that highlighted both competitors’ toughness.
AEW Women’s Championship and Main Event Updates
Thekla retained the AEW Women’s World Championship in a four-way match against Hikaru Shida, Jamie Hayter, and Kris Statlander. The contest featured nonstop action and several dramatic near falls before the champion secured the victory.
