After the TBS Women’s title bout post-match scene wraps up, we head to another commercial break with Tony Schiavone and the rest of the gang on commentary hyping our AEW Trios Championship match coming up next in our main event of the evening.

When we return, we see Angelo Parker, Matt Menard and Daniel Garcia make their way to the ring with Anna Jay. They settle inside and the commentators point out Garcia is doing the dance that has been much of the problem between Garcia and Menard.

The Acclaimed’s theme hits and out comes Max Caster doing his freestyle rap gimmick as Anthony Bowens and Billy Gunn, as well as the NBA’s Memphis Grizzles mascot comes out with them. Caster acknowledges the many “Whoop that Trick” chants that have taken place throughout the show tonight in his rap.

In the ring, Billy Gunn gets on the mic and they set up a big scissor-handshake deal with the Grizzles mascot. The fans chant “Whoop that Trick!” as the bell sounds to get this one officially off-and-running. We see The Acclaimed trio start off well.

As Garcia starts to cause issues with his little dance, Anna Jay runs into the ring to try and keep the peace. The ref ends up ejecting her for getting involved. She heads to the back as Bowens goes to work on Menard and then Parker. Gunn tags in and picks up where Bowens left off.

On that note, we shift gears and head into a mid-match commercial break as Parker starts to take over control of the offense on Caster. When we return from our final commercial break of the evening, we see Menard working over Bowens in the heel corner of the ring. He tags in Garcia, who picks up where he left off.

“Daddy Ass” Billy Gunn finally gets the hot tag and he starts taking out Menard, Parker and Garcia by himself. Bowens hits a scissor-me leg drop as Gunn and Caster hold Menard’s legs open. The Acclaimed do their scissor-me handshake but then Garcia, Parker and Menard attack.

Garcia has Caster down and goes to do his little dance, but Caster rolls him up. Garcia kicks out. Garcia hits a big back suplex and then a clothesline. The fans chant “Do the dance!” He does and they explode. He picks Caster up and dances some more before going for a pile driver. Caster avoids it and Gunn hits a Fame-Asser.

Caster and Bowens hit a double-team spot and then Bowens gets the three-count for the win to retain. Menard looks annoyed with Garcia at ringside as The Acclaimed celebrate their win in the ring. The commentators hype action scheduled for Wednesday’s Dynamite. That’s how the Battle of the Belts VIII show goes off the air. Thanks for joining us!
