Main Event: In a Lights Out (AEW’s way of saying Unsanctioned) Cage Match, Will Ospreay, Darby Allin, Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi & Hiroshi Tanahashi beat Jon Moxley, Gabriel Kidd, Claudio Castagnoli, Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson. Tanahashi pinned Matt Jackson after High Fly Flow. New Japan billed this as Tanahashi’s final appearance in England. It’s also Ospreay’s for perhaps a long time due to needing neck surgery. Thus Ospreay got the over-the-top heel beatdown when it was all over.
End Show.
