Rightfully so, “Holy Shit!” Chants ring out as the match starts.

He goes for a lateral press but Okada kicks out. Don Callis points out that you really can’t beat Okada in under five minutes. He may have a point.

Back from commercial, Okada picks up the Aussie and drops him. Okada goes to the ropes but Fletcher pushes the ref into the ropes, getting Okada back for doing the same earlier. They both fall and feel it but Fletcher gets the upper hand after.

Don Callis says the build of Okada and Fletcher is the “Lou Thesz” model, a staple of his Family. But what about El Clon, Callis?

Fletcher kicks out. The two get up and exchange albows. Both trade kicks and Okada hits another, then pile drives him. Fletcher comes right back with a Michinoku Driver.

The referee almost gets hit again but Fletcher rolls up Okada for a casa dora!

The two shake hands but not before Okada teases him a bit.

Lexi Nair is backstage and finds Kenny Omega. She asks about him and the Young Bucks being back together. Omega says the answer isn’t so simple. He hasn’t made a decision yet, either way. He’s ready for it, if they think he’s worth a second chance.

Awkward silence for a moment before the Bucks come out of the same door.

After commercial, a clip of Mark Briscoe after his win Saturday night airs. He reflects on his journey since losing his brother Jay. There were a lot of lows. “When family’s on the line … that changes everything.”

Samoa Joe tells Tony Schiavone to exit the ring. He’s cut off by Swerve Strickland entering the arena and walking beside “Hangman” Adam Page. Both are wielding chains. Joe tries to get louder than the crowd as The Opps Dojo come out while the crowd chants “Whose House? Swerve’s House!”

HOOK is not out with The Opps. A video airs, summarizing how Joe got the win with HOOK coming back. Samoa Joe introduces HOOK and he comes out with the smuggest look. The crowd boos. HOOK calls the crowd “rednecks” and calls himself the greatest second-generation wrestler the business has ever seen.

He gets cut off by Strickland’s entrance music and he is in the back, not taking the entrance ramp. Page’s music hits and he’s on the concourse at a bar before making his way. He and Strickland take out members of The Opps Dojo. The Opps high-tail it out of the ring as Page and Strickland take out the Dojo members.

After his loss at Full Gear, Jon Moxley was incensed backstage Saturday.

“Don’t celebrate the regular season. The playoffs about to start.” Hmmm… I wonder if certain sports teams could adopt that mindset!

3. Jon Moxley (0-0-0) vs. Mascara Dorada (0-0-0) in the Continental Classic – Blue League

The two circle and Dorada goes for an ankle lock but Moxley gets out of it. Unable to get a submission hold, Moxley opts for raw power, using his size advantage.

“Timeless” Toni Storm hits the ring as Marina Shafir is also with Moxley now that the match is over. She says she likes “Jonny” despite his admiration for cargo pants. She says her violence that comes from a place of love is worse than his violence that comes from hate. She calls Shafir Moxley’s “cavewoman daughter”. Yeesh.

Mina Shirakawa shows her face. NO TAGS. NO DQ. HARDCORE HOLIDAY DEATH MATCH.

Renee Paquette is backstage with AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander. What’s next for her, you might be thinking? She’s not stopping. She knows where she’s going and asks “who’s coming with me?”
