Bryan Danielson is a guest on commentary tonight.

Moxley is 2-0, 6 points. Lethal is 0-2, 0 points.

Toni Storm interviewed. She will be defending the AEW Women’s Championship next week.
MJF comes out. He puts over Samoa Joe before throwing down for their PPV match then the lights go out and he gets ambushed by the masked men, one wearing a shirt with the devil logo on the back. That one has a baseball bat but Samoa Joe makes the save. This seems to set up a tag team match for next week, so we might find out who it (The Devil) is.
After commercial, commentary spins what happened as it being an internal job and that IT security is on the case. The match for next week is official.
Match 3: Wardlow vs. AR Fox
Reslut: Wardlow beat AR Fox. Squash.
Match 4: The Hardys & Brother Zay vs. Top Flight & Action Andretti
Match 4: Top Flight & Action Andretti beat The Hardys & Brother Zay. Dante Martin pinned Zay.
Match 5: AEW TBS Champion Julia Hart vs. Emi Sakura for the title. House Rules. Sakura chose No Submissions as her stip
Result: AEW TBS Champion Julia Hart beat Emi Sakura to retain the title.
Mariah May interviewed backstage before stepping into Tony Khan’s area.
Christian Cage comes out. He called out Adam Copeland and got him. Long drawn-out promo leads to Cage suggesting they team once more for Copeland’s mom then goes for the cheap shot but clearly gets caught.
Main Event: Continental Classic: Jay White vs. Swerve Strickland
Result: Swerve Strickland beat Jay White
Strickland is 2-0, 6 points. White is 1-1, 3 points
A solid top-to-bottom episode overall, the non-wrestling stuff ran too long (Christian-Copeland and Sting-Flair interview) but all the matches were good. The tournament is making a slightly positive difference so far.
Friday on Rampage: TBA. They didn’t announce anything during the show or I missed it.
