Two Continental Classic matches are slated for tonight, with Kevin Knight and "Speedball" Mike Bailey taking to the ring in a Gold League match. They will be followed-up by Claudio Castagnoli and Konosuke Takeshita's Blue League match later in the night.
On the women's side of things, Jamie Hayter and AEW Women's World ChampionKris Statlander will take on the Sisters of Sin in tag team action. The Sisters of Sin seem hellbent on running through theAEW women's division. Can the combined forces of Hayter and Statlander pump the brakes on their reign of terror?
Last, but certainly not least: Mark Briscoe will be putting his TNT Championship up on the line against Daniel Garcia. With the Death Riders on a decline since leader Jon Moxley's unfortunate losses against figures like "Hangman" Adam Page and Darby Allin, can new member Garcia bring the faction back to glory with a title win?
And we're on the air!We are joined by Nigel McGuinness, Tony Schiavone, and Don Callis on the commentary booth!"Hangman" Adam Page takes to a backstage segment to make his intentions known: he is not done with Samoa Joe and the Opps. He wants the AEW World Championship back! Elsewhere, Swerve Strickland and Josh Alexander are taking to the ring in their highly-anticipated singles match.
Strickland and Alexander take to the ring inCardiff, Wales! After some pregnant pauses, the two men finally lock up amongst a rambunctious Wales crowd. The lock-up is violent, and Alexander quickly gets Strickland into the corner. The referee Aubrey Edwards calls them off, but Alexander gets Strickland into a headlock.
Strickland is the immovable object to Alexander's unstoppable momentum! The two trade shoulder tackles, with Strickland not as much as budging, before trading some incredible leaps and kicks before Strickland gets Alexander down with a big boot. Wales is loving it!
Alexander tries to fight back with a big boot, but Strickland sees it! Strickland lifts Alexander up and dumps him on his knee. Strickland is comfortably in the driver's seat, with the former AEW World Champion taking a moment to conduct the crowd after pumeling a supine Alexander with a knee drop.
Strickland continues to put the hurt on Alexander as Prince nana admonishes the ringside Don Callis. Strickland dumps Alexander on the outside before going to stomp his lights out. Alexander, however, catches him, and after running Strickland's knee into the post, lifts Strickland up and dumps him, knees-first, onto the announce table!
It's time for Alexander to get his moves in. He dumps Strickland to the outside once more, and Strickland is left writhing on the ground as referee Edwards checks on him. Callis rises to give his encouragement to the DonCallis Family member as we head to commercial.
Back from the break, Alexander and Strickland are exchanging forearm strikes and kicks! Both men seem to have the other's number, but a temporary failure on Strickland's knee causes him to falter. Alexander capitalizes by dumping Strickland's knee onto his own before flattening the former world champion with a Suplex. Strickland quickly recovers, however, and lays out Alexander with a Powerslam/Powerbomb combo!
The two are in the corner now, with Strickland looking to set up for a Middle-Rope Uppercut. It connects, and Strickland rubs it in with a griddy! Despite the confidence, however, it's clear that Strickland's knee is ailing him. No matter: Strickland corners Alexander again and looks to set up for a top-rope move following some elbow strikes. Alexander manages to get down on the apron, but he cannot escape a chop from Strickland! Strickland might have gotten overconfident, however, as Alexander responds by dropping him back-first onto the apron!
The two are back to the top rope, and that is a top-rope Fallaway Slam from Strickland! It's not enough to get the three-count, however, much to Strickland's frustration. Strickland is on the prowl now, and looks to put Alexander into a Full Nelson. Alexander responds by trying for a Figure Four, but Strickland reverses Alexander's momentum for a flash pin. No dice there, but Alexander is not deterred by the failure.
The two continue to exchange leg submission/flash pin attempts until Alexander locks in a Single-Legged Boston Crab onto Strickland. The former world champ is in agony, but luckily, the ropes are right there. Alexander waits for the four-count to let go of Strickland is the damage to Strickland's knee already done?
The two are in the corner, and after Alexander attempts to lock up Strickland's knee in the ropes, the two exchange some slaps. It is, however, ultimately Alexander's battle to win, as he dumps his whole body weight onto Strickland's rope-hung knee. He looks for a top-rope move, but fails! Strickland responds with a House Call, but Alexander kicks out!
It's a drag race to the finish line, as Strickland captures Alexander in a half-Nelson before turning him inside out! It's one, two, three off of that move for Strickland as Wales sings his song!
Winner: Swerve Strickland!
Strickland takes to the microphone immediately after the match. He reminisces about his previous Wales ventures, which happened during his AEW World Championship reign. He says it's "about time" he gets back to the title picture, while dismissing the Don Callis Family and The Opps. He tells Samoa Joe that his days are numbered, and calls himself "the most dangerous man in AEW." He claims Number One Contendership for Joe's title, and states his determination to make AEW "Swerve's House."
