We are live! Excalibur, Taz, and Tony Schiavone greet audiences at home as “Hangman” Adam Page makes his way to the ring.
We Hear From Adam Page
Fans tell Page that he deserves it, but Page says that the fans really are the ones who deserve it. Page says the fans started a revolution that changed the wrestling world and the reason that AEW exists in the first place, then says he wants the fans to know that wrestlers don’t compete for a title but for the fans themselves. He says the fans deserved to see the AEW World Championship and to have a champion that understands the connection with fans as well as one that is grateful for them.
Page says he didn’t just walk into a battle at All In in his Texas Death Match against Jon Moxley, but he walked into a war to free the AEW World Championship. He thanks everyone who’s helped him on his nine month mission to free the title including Orange Cassidy, “Switchblade” Jay White, Adam Copeland, The Opps, Bryan Danielson, Darby Allin, and Will Ospreay who reminded him of why he loved wrestling at AEW Double or Nothing. He thanks Swerve Strickland for helping him despite their storied history with one another, then says All In weekend was full of highs, lows, blood, and tears. He says people like Moxley would say crying makes Page weak and less of a man, but he has the love and respect of his wife, kids, and the fans.
The Don Callis Family then make their way to the ring. Mascara Dorada follows.
Kyle Fletcher (w/ Don Callis and Lance Archer) vs. Mascara Dorada
The bell rings and Fletcher fires off stomps on Dorada. He rains down right hands on him and pulls on his mask, but Dorada uses two of the top ropes to deliver an arm drag to Fletcher. He follows it up with a missile dropkick off the top rope before Fletcher looks to fly through the middle rope. Dorada moves out of the way and delivers a Tornillo over the top rope to level Fletcher on the outside. The two men then return to the ring, and Fletcher lands a swinging Sidewalk Slam on Dorada.
Back from the break, Dorada delivers a thrust kick to Fletcher and lands a Shooting Star Press on him on the outside off the ropes. He follows it up with a series of kicks, then rocks Fletcher with an enzuigiri and follows it up with a Code Red.
