Brawl starts outside as Jericho takes a trashcan lid to Starks and throws Bill into a truck. Starks is here with a bat and Bill chokeslams Jericho on the ground. Guevara is here with a golf cart and he runs over both Bill and Starks! Two counts on both. Starks looks like he may have gotten his ankle run over here. Guevara and Jericho team up on Bill, who shoves them off and finds a bag, and beats both Jericho and Guevara with it. Turns out, there are bricks in the bag, of course. Bill chucks a brick at Guevara but he moves and it goes through a window. Jericho is here and both guys double suplex Bill through the roof and windshield of a card. Rhett Titus is here because that was his car, so he eats a Judas Effect. Starks is back as he and Jericho brawl to the backstage area.

All four men make it to the arena and the fans are on their feet. Jericho and Big Bill are on top of a huge speaker as Bill tries to chokeslam Jericho off, but Jericho low blows him. Takeshita is here and he blasts Jericho in the face with a kendo stick, allowing Bill to powerbomb Jericho off the speaker through the table! Guevara sets Starks up on the side stage area and climbs up to this ridiculously tall scaffold and swantons off, but Powerhouse Hobbs helps Starks escape and Sammy comes crashing down! Starks covers for the win!

Winners and STILL AEW World Tag Team Champions: Big Bill & Ricky Starks

Rating: ***1/2 This was a wildly fun, chaotic brawl that had the fans oohing and aahing the entire time. The Jericho stuff didn’t seem to play a factor and the fans were just here for a good time. Guevara got to do his crazy stuff and Bill and Starks still look strong. Fun match.

Winner and STILL AEW International Champion: Orange Cassidy

Rating: ***. Fine match here, it’s nice to see a new face like Vance challenge for the title. Cassidy just keeps finding ways to win.

Undisputed Kingdom dispose of Vance after the match and applaud Cassidy as we go off the air.

Final Thoughts: Another Battle of the Belts, another night of predictable outcomes. It’s not always the worst thing in the world, but in order to get people tuning in after two hours of Collision, you’re going to need to spice it up. The opener was a blast, Cassidy’s International run is still going strong, and I think Hart may benefit from some more veteran challengers at this point in her young career. 7.0/10.
