**********
The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, & Toa Liona) vs. Jet Set Rodeo (Hangman Adam Page, Mike Bailey, & Kevin Knight) for the AEW World Trios Championship
Bailey and Ricochet started the match, but it was not long before Ricochet shoved Bailey into Knight, and then Kaun and Liona took out Hangman Page and Knight on the floor. The Demand isolated Page in the early part of the match, but Page continued to fight back, sending Ricochet to the floor and countered a back suplex attempt leaving an opening for Knight, who spring boarded in and hit a dropkick on Kaun and Toa.
Knight tagged in, but Ricochet yanked his hair and tagged out to Kaun, who quickly pounced and started beating on Knight. Bailey tagged in and hit a standing shooting star press on Ricochet after a moment. Bailey ate a knee to the back from Kaun, allowing Ricochet to attack from behind, sending Bailey to the floor, and Kaun started driving Bailey into the guardrail before sending Bailey into a charging Liona as they now started their first extended heat segment on the babyfaces.
Bailey and Liona started facing off after a few minutes, and Bailey had to use his speed and kicks to wear Liona down until he hit a dropkick from the top rope to create the opening that let him tag in Adam Page. Page then ran wild, hitting a fallaway slam on Ricochet, a dive on Kaun, and a Yakuza kick on Liona that sent him into the timekeeper’s area. Kaun and Liona rushed the ring and sent Knight and Bailey to the outside before allowing Ricochet to hit a 450 splash on Page for a 2-count.
Liona hit a fallaway slam/Samoan drop combo on Bailey and Knight, but it wasn’t long before Knight hit a springboard lariat on Liona in response while Bailey hit a moonsault to the floor on Kaun. Ricochet, however, hit Hangman Page with a poisonrana. Bailey hit a kick on Ricochet, Kaun hit a Pedigree on Bailey, Knight hit a DDT on Kaun, Liona took out Knight, Bailey took out Liona, Ricochet took out Bailey, and Hangman hit a tombstone on Ricochet and everyone was down.
Page hit Dead Eye on the apron on Liona, but ate a knee from Ricochet. Bailey hit a kick on Ricochet and then hit a triangle moonsault on Kaun. Ricochet pulled the referee in front of a Buckshot Lariat and hit Vertigo on Page for a 2-count. Ricochet went for the Spirit Gun but Ricochet was distracted by Jack Perry’s music hitting. Ricochet sent Hangman out of the ring and turned back to face Perry, but Hangman actually landed on the apron, so Ricochet turned around into a Buckshot Lariat for the pinfall.
Result: Jet Set Rodeo defeats The Demand and retains the AEW Trios Championship
–FTR walked up on The Rascalz, talking about their smoking habits and how they disapproved. FTR said he wish they won the tag team match to face FTR at the PPV, but they didn’t. The Rascalz then challenged them to an eliminator match, and FTR decided if they wanted a fight that badly, they would give it to them.
