The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one. Fans continue loudly chanting “Eddie! Eddie!” The two look around and soak in the atmosphere. They close in on each other and then agree to a “chop-off” to start things out. Kingston pulls his straps down and the two begin trading chops as the crowd reacts to each loud shot that lands.

Suzuki ends up getting the better of the exchange, which begins to include forearms. He rocks Kingston and knocks him down as fans chant “Su-zu-ki! Su-zu-ki!” The Japanese legend gets the double-champ on the mat and works on an arm submission, while also pulling and bending at the fingers of “The Mad King.”

As the action continues, we see Jeff and Karen Jarrett, Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt and Satnam Singh watching the action in the ring unfold via a monitor backstage. Again we see Suzuki drop Kingston with a big shot. He bends at his fingers again and Kingston screams in pain as the crowd pops in the background. Kingston then scares the ref and backs him up for a chuckle from the crowd.

“The Mad King” gets Suzuki in a corner and begins rapid-fire chopping the hell out of him. Suzuki starts to no-sell it and walk forward like the Terminator as Kingston continues to chop the holy living hell out of him. This lasts a lot longer than you’d think. Kingston hits a high-collar exploder throw that sends the Japanese legend soaring across the ring. He goes for the cover but only gets two.

Suzuki pops up and takes over on offense, dropping the double-champ and peppering him with vicious kicks. Kingston fights back as fans rally behind him with loud “Eddie! Eddie!” chants. After some more back-and-forth slugfest exchanges, we see Lethal watching on again as he challenges the winner for the ROH Championship in the future.

Kingston ends up connecting with a Northern Lights Bomb for the win. After the match, Suzuki struggles to get up. When he does, the fans chant “Su-zu-ki!” He and Kingston acknowledge each other and then chop each other one final time before hugging for a big pop. Fun opener to set the tone for the crowd tonight.

Winner and STILL ROH World & NJPW STRONG Openweight Champion: Eddie Kingston

The audience expresses their disapproval of Hobbs’s affiliation with Callis, but the Powerhouse remains unfazed as he relentlessly wears down Jericho, delivering a punishing spinebuster!

Unrelenting, Hobbs follows up with another spinebuster and then another, paying little heed to the crowd’s sentiments. With a dismissive attitude towards the audience, he instructs Jericho to submit before administering a resounding headbutt.

He quickly ascends to the top turnbuckle and executes a frog splash, going for another pin, but Cassidy kicks out once more.

She discusses her recent creative project, a silent short film titled “Lover’s Lament.” Storm emphasizes that sometimes you don’t need words when facial expressions can convey the emotions.

Jay White vs. Hangman Page

White instructs his associates to stay at ringside, and they comply, hanging around as he approaches Hangman Page. With a defiant tone, White asserts that the title will never belong to Page again, emphasizing his point with a resounding slap to Page’s face.

To regain his composure, White exits the ring momentarily, then re-enters, locking up with Page once more before dishing out another stinging slap to Page’s face. This time, White promptly retreats from the ring, but before he can catch his breath, Page surprises him with a daring dive from the ring. Page takes a moment to exchange words with the onlooking Bang Bang Gang and then goes after Jay as we transition to a picture-in-picture commercial break.

Page’s early control in this match starts to waver as Jay White mounts a counterattack. However, Page, showing his resilience, counters White’s advances and begins to mount his own comeback. Page quickly reasserts control by sending White into the corner. However, White retaliates with a kick that momentarily stuns Page just as the TBS broadcast cuts to a full commercial break.

As we return from the commercial break, Jay White has regained control of the match. He attempts a suplex, but Page fights back, executing a fireman’s carry slam. Jay rises to his feet, and Page delivers a resounding chop. Despite Switchblade’s attempts to counter, Page remains relentless, slamming him down with a fall-away slam.

The crowd rallies behind Page as he attempts a Dead Eye on Jay, but the Switchblade manages to evade it, causing Page to drop onto the canvas instead. They find themselves back on the apron, and Jay exploits this by dropping Hangman onto the apron, focusing on his injured knee. Page is clearly in pain, and Jay continues his assault. As we transition to another picture-in-picture, Jay White remains firmly in control of the match. He secures a near fall and proceeds to target Hangman’s injured leg with a leglock in the ring. Hangman somehow manages to reach the ropes for a break. Jay persists in his attack by driving Page into the corner and positioning him on the top turnbuckle.

Both competitors engage in a high-risk battle on the top turnbuckle, and Page successfully connects with a Blockbuster on the Switchblade, sending him crashing to the canvas! Jay is down, but Hangman is the one struggling with pain in his knee. Jay seizes the opportunity, delivering a thumb to the eye and executing a uranage for a near fall.

Page falls to the canvas but manages to rise slowly, retaliating with forearm strikes. He then attempts the Buckshot Lariat, but his hesitation allows White to perform a dragon screw, forcefully driving Page’s leg into the ropes. Jay White brings Hangman back to his feet, but Page shoves him away and climbs the ropes. Jay intercepts him again, but Page fights back and once more seeks to execute the Buckshot Lariat. However, White capitalizes on the momentary pause, executing a German suplex for a near fall.

White continues with a series of sleeper suplexes, but Page counters with a haymaker. Page attempts another Buckshot Lariat, but White reverses it into a Blade Runner. However, Page manages to hit the Dead Eye. Bullet Club Gold members intervene to disrupt the count, resulting in a near fall. Taking advantage of the distraction, Nana rushes in with his crown, attempting to strike Page. Page resists but gets rolled up by Jay White for the pin and the victory!

Winner: Jay White

Page rushes up the ramp in pursuit of Nana, while Bullet Club Gold celebrates with Jay in the ring. But their celebration is interrupted by MJF, who appears on the stage. MJF informs Jay White that he has his match for Full Gear and demands the return of the Triple B.

Jay White responds by initially mocking the champion, suggesting that no one wants to hear MJF and asserting that the crowd wants to hear “J-A-Y.” The crowd boos in response, further agitating White. Jay begins to question whether he should return the title while the crowd taunts him. In response, White firmly states that the answer is no.

MJF proceeds to criticize Jay White, emphasizing how much the crowd adores the Switchblade. He mentions the two things he cares about – his friend Adam Cole and the AEW World Championship. According to MJF, Jay is indeed a top-level talent and will one day become a World Champion, but that day is not today. He urges White to return the title with dignity, not for MJF’s sake but for the sport and the title itself.

Jay White mocks MJF for his words, stating that he, too, must earn the title by facing Jay White at Full Gear. However, he offers MJF an alternative: if he’s impatient, he can attempt to take the title now. But White warns MJF that the odds are not in his favor, especially considering the Bang Bang Gang’s involvement.

White continues by addressing Juice Robinson, referring to the upcoming battle royal for MJF’s ring. He threatens to use a roll of quarters on Max, a comment that visibly agitates the champion. In response, MJF tells Robinson what he will do if Robinson approaches him with those quarters.

MJF storms off, and Jay White declares that if anyone has a problem with the situation, he has two words for them: “Guns Up.”

The broadcast transitions to a picture-in-picture segment as Toni Storm presents the second act of “Lover’s Lament.”

AEW Women’s World Championship Match: Saraya vs. Hikaru Shida

To kick off the match, Saraya taunts Shida, eliciting a response in the form of a series of strikes from the challenger. The champion counters and pushes Shida into the corner. However, Shida regains her momentum, delivering more strikes to Saraya before dropping the champion with a powerful enziguri.

Saraya retreats from the ring to catch her breath as the referee begins the count. Saraya mocks the count, leisurely walking around the ring before returning to it. As she re-enters the ring, Shida unleashes a flurry of strikes on the champion, but Saraya fires back with her own strikes, leading to a back-and-forth exchange between the two competitors.

Shida gains the upper hand, hoisting Saraya up and then slamming her to the canvas. Saraya manages to escape to the apron, but Shida delivers a powerful kick to her head. Just as Shida is about to capitalize on this, her momentum is halted by an individual in disguise wielding spray paint. To Shida’s surprise, the disguised figure is revealed to be Ruby Soho, who sprays the paint in Shida’s face. As Soho attempts to continue her attack, she is intercepted by “Timeless” Toni Storm, who strikes her with a shoe to the back. Saraya seizes the opportunity and resumes her assault on Shida as we head to a picture-in-picture commercial break.

During this segment, Saraya takes firm control of the match, relentlessly wearing down the challenger at ringside. She then brings Shida back into the ring and positions her on the ropes to deliver a series of knee strikes to Shida’s ribs. Shida falls back into the ring as Saraya maintains her aggression, even resorting to hair-pulling until the referee admonishes her for it. Back on the ropes goes Shida, and she counters with a knee strike, sending Saraya to the corner for some mounted punches. Saraya escapes, but Shida positions herself on the most dangerous rope for a missile dropkick.

Saraya fights back once again, attempting a suplex from the top turnbuckle, but she settles for pulling Shida out to the floor. She confronts the referee and then gets caught by Shida, who executes a stalling German suplex, dropping the champion on the apron. Shida follows with a Meteora on the outside, bringing the champion back into the ring. Shida lands a running knee strike and goes for the cover, but Saraya manages to kick out.

Shida seeks a Kitana, but Saraya dodges it and applies a hold. Shida breaks free from the hold. Shida ascends to the top rope, only to be caught by Saraya, who executes the Knight Cap. She goes for the pin, but Shida kicks out this time. Saraya, frustrated, grabs a kendo stick and spray paint. The referee confiscates the kendo stick but doesn’t notice the spray paint that Saraya uses on Shida. Saraya applies the Knight Cap again and goes for the cover, but Shida kicks out once more.

Saraya attempts to go after the challenger once more, but Shida surprises her with a Falcon Arrow! Shida quickly goes for the cover, and a series of reversals ensues. The champion and challenger keep countering each other’s pin attempts until Shida manages to secure the pinfall, becoming a 3-time Women’s World Champion!

Winner and NEW AEW Women’s World Champion: Hikaru Shida

They also announce a heartwarming initiative to donate toys to charity for Christmas. The broadcast then previews upcoming events on Rampage, Collision, and next week’s Dynamite. The main event for the evening is also teased, featuring Adam Copeland taking on Luchasaurus.

In a backstage segment, Don Callis expresses frustration at not getting enough time to speak but hints at having a backup plan. Callis seizes the opportunity to discuss how Hobbs wreaked havoc on Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho, emphasizing the Family’s relentless pursuit of dominance. He then emulates Sammy Guevara by displaying signs before the broadcast goes to a picture-in-picture commercial break.

Backstage, Renee attempts to engage MJF in conversation regarding the earlier events, but the champ’s sole focus is on calling his compatriot, Adam Cole. On the phone with Cole, the reception is poor, making it challenging to communicate. However, their conversation is abruptly interrupted by The Acclaimed. Max Caster offers to assist MJF, but the champ departs, leaving Billy Gunn to question Caster’s apparent friendliness with MJF. Caster reminisces about their shared experiences in the wrestling business and humorously suggests that MJF is playing hard to get, which irritates his friends.

Adam Copeland vs. Luchasaurus

Back at ringside, Christian Cage makes his entrance with Luchasaurus, preparing for the main event. Holding a microphone, the TNT Champion addresses the audience, expressing the honor of having a champion they can be proud of. He contrasts himself with the Chiefs, stating that he doesn’t require additional assistance to secure victories.

Cage discusses the events from last week and Adam Copeland’s comments about Luchasaurus and Nick Wayne turning on him. He mentions their shared experiences but clarifies that he is not their leader; he is their father.

Cage addresses Copeland’s desire to reunite a tag team, questioning where this aspiration was when Copeland was being promoted heavily while he was held back. He acknowledges that Copeland may need him for the tag team, but he, in turn, does not require Copeland. As Cage gets personal and starts addressing Adam’s family, specifically his wife Beth and their daughters, Copeland charges down the ramp. However, Nick Wayne trips him, and Luchasaurus delivers a powerful blow, forcing Copeland to retreat to the corner to recover.
