Prior to the night’s Six-Man Tag Team Match featuring The Elite, Don Callis encouraged the trip to stage separate entrances, a bit of manipulation by the EVP of Impact Wrestling that will likely have implications later in this particular storyline.
As it turned out, it was all so Callis could produce Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson. Callis introduced The Good Brothers as The Young Bucks and Tony Khan watched disgustedly from backstage.
The opposition for the match? Griff Garrison, Brian Pillman Jr, and Danny Limelight.
The heels beat the overmatched babyfaces down from the opening bell until Limelight left Omega reeling. Gallows rocked him with a big boot but Garrison and Pillman sent him to the floor. After a brief flurry by the babyfaces, Omega and Co. took over, beating down and isolating Limelight through the picture-in-picture commercial break.
Limelight walked the ropes to avoid Omega, came off with a headscissors, and sent the AEW world champion flying. Limelight tagged Pillman, who made like his father and soared through the air like Flying Bryan, wiping Anderson out and clearing Omega off the apron.
Pillman and Garrison scored a very close near-fall on Anderson but a missed splash in the corner left the latter prone to three-on-one assault by the heels. Anderson tried for the Gun Stun on Garrison but the young star escaped it and tagged Limelight back in the ring.
Limelight fell prey to the Magic Killer, though, as the AEW world champion and Impact tag team champions picked up the win.
Following the bell, Jon Moxley entered Daily’s Place through the stands and hit the ring, going straight for Omega. Despite his tenacity, Moxley found himself beaten down. The Lucha Bros came to the aid of Moxley and AEW, fighting off Gallows and Anderson.
Moxley pounded away at Omega as the locker room emptied out. Moxley wiped out Omega, only for The Young Bucks to make the save. Penta El Zero M and Rey Fenix wiped Matt and Nick Jackson out with superkicks and all hell broke loose.
In the chaos, Omega and Callis retreated, living to fight another day as the ring filled up with AEW competitors. Anderson and Gallow exited through the stands, just as they arrived.
Result
Omega, Gallows and Anderson defeated Pillman, Garrison and Limelight
Grade
B+
Analysis
This would have been the right time to have Rich Swann and The Motor City Machine Guns show up and target Omega, Gallows and Anderson, just days before Impact Wrestling’s Hard to Kill on pay-per-view.
Not knowing what the relationship and agreement is between AEW and Impact, though, this was the next best thing as Anderson and Gallows got exposure and their company’s name out there.
The match itself was a solidly wrestled match that allowed the young babyfaces to get in more offense than you may have expected, all while adequately putting over the heels.
A vengeful Moxley is a great Moxley and the “no F’s given” approach to hitting the ring despite the numbers disadvantage was on-brand. Here is hoping he and Omega can deliver on the intensity they have built throughout their rivalry because if they can, their next match is going to be all sorts of awesome.
