The latest segment and match will be listed at the top of the page, so make sure to refresh throughout the show for more updated results.
MJF and Sammy Guevara vs. Jack Perry and Darby Allin
Before the match took place, MJF tried to approach Jack Perry backstage to talk to him. He did his usual slimy heel act until Allin walked in on them.
Guevara and Perry started with a nice exchange of fast-paced moves. When MJF and Allin took over, the champ had to retreat to the outside when he came close to getting pinned.
Jungle Boy tagged in, and MJF immediately tried to pretend his hair was pulled. Allin and Perry hit a double-team move but showed their lack of chemistry on the execution.
Guevara choked Allin with a scarf while the ref was distracted. He kept falling for the same trick until he turned around too early once and caught Guevara tossing the scarf away.
Allin took out MJF, but when he tried to tag in Perry, MJF ran around the ring and yanked him off the apron to prevent it.
We returned from a break to see Guevara and Allin down on the mat. Perry tagged in and started taking it to both opponents.
Allin nailed Guevara with a suicide dive while Perry took out MJF with a dive over the top rope. The Spanish God hit a Spanish Fly from the top rope for a close two-count.
Allin went wild and hit a Code Red on Guevara, but when he tried it on MJF, it was countered into a powerbomb. Perry tagged back in and applied the Snare Trap on MJF, but Guevara broke it up with a double stomp.
Once MJF and Sammy had Jungle Boy isolated, they kept trying to pin him, but he kept finding ways to kick out. MJF was trying to be a glory hog, so he and Guevara began having communication issues.
Allin tagged in and hit Guevara with a Coffin Drop, but he almost hit Perry. They had a bit of a staredown and argued after the match.
Winners: Darby Allin and Jack Perry
Ricky Starks vs. Juice Robinson
After a video package down on the Briscoe chicken farm, we got a singles match between Juice Robinson and Ricky Starks.
They had a furious lockup and took the fight out of the ring almost immediately. Starks had the upper hand for a bit, but Rock Hard raked his eyes to take control.
Starks backdropped him on the floor and prevented him from escaping into the crowd. Robinson reversed an Irish whip and sent him into the steps.
Starks picked him up and walked up the steps to slam him on the floor as the show cut to a break.
We returned to see the match still being relatively even. Both men hit some big moves and got some two-counts, but neither seemed to have a clear path to victory until Juice got his knees up to block a splash.
Juice hit a big clothesline from the top rope, but he still couldn't get the pin. Rock Hard set up for his finisher, but Starks countered with a rollup for a two-count.
Mr. Absolute almost cut him in half with a Spear before hitting the Roshambo for the win.
Winner: Ricky Starks
Jay White attacked Starks as soon as the match was over. Starks managed to drive them off, but they declared they are not done with Starks yet.
Wardlow vs. Jobber #4792
The TNT champion was in action this week against someone named Logan LaRoux. The WarDaddy picked him up for a big spinebuster right away before hitting him with a big lariat.
Wardlow hit a Powerbomb Symphony for the win and then grabbed a mic and said he could do this all day. He called out Christian and even offered Luchasaurus a TNT open challenge.
Winner: Wardlow
Christian came out and said they would do this on their time, and certainly not in Baltimore.
Trios Battle Royale
The Lucha Bros and Vikingo were the first trio to enter the ring for this Battle Royale. There were eight teams in the ring in total, so 18 men filled the ring, with several more at ringside.
Everyone started around the ring instead of inside it, but it didn't take long for everyone to fight their way in. It was pure mayhem at first. Nobody was eliminated for a long time, so it was a lot of double and triple-team spots early on.
Fenix and Penta eliminated QT Marshall and Aaron Solow at the same time in a fun moment. Vikingo still had his jacket on for his entire time in the match. He was tossed out on The Lucha Bros to eliminate them from the match.
John Silver went on a rampage before The Blade tossed him out to take out the last remnant of The Dark Order. Kip Sabian, The Butcher and The Blade were left to take on Daddy Ass and Anthony Bowens.
Bowens eliminated The Blade while Kip and Butcher were busy with Gunn, so it became an even fight. Bowens and Gunn were able to throw Butcher and Sabian out to win the match.
Winners: The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass
This is going to set up these three men against The House of Black for the Trios Championships down the line.
Saraya vs. Willow Nightingale
The crowd gave Willow a great reaction when she came to the ring for her match against the leader of The Outcasts, Saraya.
Toni Storm and Ruby Soho provided a distraction, but it only worked for a moment. Willow used her superior strength to take control.
Saraya kept taking the low road, including distracting the ref for a long time so her cohorts could attack Willow on the floor for a very long time.
We came back from a break to see Willow back in the driver's seat. She rolled Saraya up for a two-count before Saraya hit the Knight Cap (formerly known as The Paige Turner) for a two-count.
Nightingale scooped her up for a Death Valley Driver, but Toni and Ruby distracted the ref. Willow hit Ruby with a Pounce, but the distraction allowed Saraya to hit her finisher for the win.
Winner: Saraya
Hikaru Shida ran to the ring with a kendo stick, and it looked like she would help Willow, but then she hugged The Outcasts. Jamie Hayter and Britt Baker showed up, and then Shida revealed she was with them and attacked The Outcasts.
After we got a backstage segment with Britt Baker hitting Chris Jericho, we got a promo from the Blackpool Combat Club.
Jon Moxley gave Kenny Omega a warning ahead of their cage match next week. Back in the arena, The Outcasts came to the ring.
The JAS vs. Bandido, Roderick Strong, Adam Cole and Orange Cassidy
Daniel Garcia, Jake Hager, Cool Hand Ang and Daddy Magie represented the JAS for this match, but Chris Jericho was not about to sit backstage. He came out wearing the shirt of Britt Baker with her black eye on it.
Cole wanted Jericho to get in the ring, but he ended up walking to the announce desk. Both teams had a standoff, but Aubrey Edwards kept a fight from breaking out. Garcia and Strong started for their teams with a vigorous lockup.
There wasn't a lot of pro wrestling happening. Everyone who came in the ring for the first several minutes were just trying to hit each other as much as possible. It took Bandido hitting a powerslam to break it up.
There was another standoff between both teams, but Strong and Garcia missed the memo and fought at ringside until they realized what was going on. Then they joined their teams before fighting again. A huge brawl broke out with everyone.
Hager and Cassidy ended up being the legal men in the ring. OC spiked him with a DDT but got caught when he tried to hit a suicide dive. Cole saw an opportunity to go get Jericho, but the rest of the JAS cut him off and brought him back toward the ring.
Bandido held up Parker and Menard for delayed vertical suplexes. They tried to counter, so hit them both with a suplex at the same time.
We returned from a break to see Garcia doing a little dance after he took Cassidy down. The JAS was firmly in control and dominating the international champion.
When Strong got the tag, he put his backbreaker skills on full display. We got to the spot when everyone came in and hit a big move on someone from the opposing team. Cole scored the win for his team and then ran to the stage and tackled Jericho right away.
Winners: Cole, Strong, Cassidy and Bandido
It took several people to break up the fight
Dynamite opened up with the babyface team making its entrances for the big eight-man tag match that will kick off the show.
