Swerve and Strong immediately get after it, with Swerve getting off to a good start as Nana leads the fans in the “Who’s House?” / “Swerve’s House” call-and-response routine. Taven gives a distraction assist, allowing Strong to take over. He hits a wild back-breaker on Swerve, who crashes spine-first into the top turnbuckle in the corner.

On the floor outside of the ring, Swerve fights back into competitive form before whipping Strong into the steel ring post with authority. After that, Excalibur talks us into a mid-match commercial break, our final of the evening, as our AEW World Championship main event continues.

We return to some more back-and-forth action, which includes a lot of attempted outside interference, only for Swerve to hit a House Call for the win to retain. That’s how this week’s show goes off the air. Thanks for joining us!
