****************
Jungle Jack Perry vs. Mark Davis (w/ Don Callis) for the AEW National Championship
Jack Perry countered Davis with a hurricanrana out of a powerbomb right away, and landed on his feet after missing a moonsault into the ring. Davis went to the floor, so Perry hit a moonsault to the floor on him. Perry hit a shotgun dropkick on the floor and went for a Tiger Feint kick around the ring post, but Davis cut him off and hit a clothesline that saw Perry crash to the mat on the ground. Davis took Perry back into the ring and hit a series of hard strikes that kept Perry grounded. Davis hit a shoulder tackle on Perry as he was on the apron, and Perry nearly hit the guardrail.
Davis got the heat on Perry throughout the ad break, and we heard the production count down from 10 to live on MyAEW, which was kind of fun, though obviously a mistake. Perry hit a flying forearm off the ropes and Davis went down to his knees, but not fully down. Davis hit a back elbow as Perry charged the corner, and Davis put Perry on the top rope before going for a superplex. Perry bit Davis and then hit a sunset flip powerbomb of the ropes for a 2-count. Both men ended up on the apron and Perry hit hurricanrana from the middle rope off the apron on Davis before hitting his Tiger Feint Kick (which Schiavone called an Area Code kick, which I liked) around the ring post and a flying elbow off the top rope for a 2-count. Perry charged and Davis turned around and hit a lariat that stopped Perry in his tracks.
Davis hit a lariat and then a piledriver for a 2-count, but Perry kicked out. Davis tried to piledriver Perry off the middle rope but Perry sat up on it and hit a hurricanrana that sent Davis back into the ring. Don Callis ran down to distract the referee, and Ricochet ran out with a golden golf club in full golfing gear and cracked Perry in the back with the club. As the referee turned around, he saw Davis piledriving Perry for the victory!
Result: Mark Davis defeated Jack Perry for the AEW National Championship
This was a good match with an ending that I did not expect. Davis winning is very cool, and it also continues the feud with Perry and Ricochet.
–A great hype video aired for Nick Wayne touring with New Japan Pro Wrestling in the Best of the Super Juniors for the second time, and this time he wants to join the likes of Will Ospreay and Ricochet as a winner of the tournament. Excellent stuff here.
–Jack Perry was backstage talking about how Don Callis and Ricochet took away the title he worked so hard to win, and how he was so proud to win it in front of his family. Perry then said he was going to get revenge, and he was joining Chris Jericho against the Callis Family and Ricochet. Perry also announced that the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega will be joining too, so the Callis Family and Ricochet were in trouble.
–Don Callis was backstage with Mark Davis and Ricochet, and talked about how he just got the greatest gift he ever wanted from Jack Perry because he is being given a chance to have his guys beat up Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega on the same night. So, he is going to join Ricochet and the Gates of Agony in the Stadium Stampede and negotiate with Ricochet about which members will be joining besides Davis.
