00:00Silver, round in a chair! Here comes Dark Order! Alex Reynolds with his chest wrapped up, his ribs wrapped up for what haven't I won today?
00:11And the fight goes on as Dark Order has come in, and I don't blame him bringing in a chair.
00:17Briefcase to the midsection and Reynolds goes down. The Cavalry, Dark Order have arrived.
00:25Claudio Castagnoli, oh my god, was trying to injure Dante Martin from the top here.
00:34Up on the ring way.
00:42Chair on the back of John Silver, a very brave, determined John Silver.
00:47He pulled the chair out, the man suffered the same ignominious fate.
00:53Moxley turns to the bell table and then turns back around, that's dangerous for anybody who's sitting on the bell table, even Doc Sampson out there.
01:01Hey Dark Order, I'm gonna give you a chance to fight for your lives. I'm gonna give you a chance to fight for your dreams.
01:09I'm gonna give you a chance to live your dreams, fight for your careers, everything you've worked for for the last five years in AEW, I'm gonna give you a chance right now.
01:20Hey ref, you worked for me, get your ass in the ring.
01:25We're gonna put the Trios Championships on the line again, right now. Ring the bell.
01:35Wow, we are gonna have another Trios Championship match.
01:41And the champions are gonna defend here against what's left of Dark Order, but right now it's only John Silver.
01:49Dark Order gets a chance to become Trios Champions here, but...
01:56My God.
01:57There's kind of two ways of looking at this, isn't there? I mean, Moxley's combat crew have already had to defend the titles once.
02:07Fans, we welcome you here to Battle of the Belts. We have an impromptu Trios Championship match, just after Wheeler Yuta, Pac and Claudio dispose of Top Flight and Axe Nandretti.
02:22Out comes Dark Order. John Silver wielding a chair, John Moxley got on the microphone and said, let's have another Trios title match, and we got it.
02:33But I've got to be concerned about... because it's basically 3 on 1, Eva Luna and Alex Reynolds are still on the floor.
02:46Certainly, Moxley has put the fear of God into the officials here in AEW.
02:53This match is not scheduled. The scheduled matches, hopefully, will be pushed back.
03:00Well, it may not be scheduled. We do have a great program. Kazuchika Okada Defends Continental Championship against Kyle O'Reilly.
03:08That's coming up later on tonight. We're going to see Lance Archer and Brian Cage of the Don Callis family in action.
03:16And we are going to see our AEW Women's Championship Eliminator Match tonight.
03:21The Glamour Mariah May against Anna Jay, who earned her shot.
03:25But right now, John Moxley looks on as John Silver fights back.
03:31Silver gets picked up by the overpowering Claudio Castagnoli.
03:39I've got to give Silver a lot of credit for coming in, like we saw.
03:46Tag and here's Wheeler-Yuta, just so cocky, so confident.
03:51Rocket launcher!
03:55Wheeler-Yuta will cover John Silver, 1-2.
03:58Oh, Evil Uno finally rolled in.
04:01Pounds on Wheeler-Yuta, but they're just being outnumbered here.
04:04Look at the smile, the maniacal smile, the evil smile on the face of John Moxley.
04:10Things are going Moxley's way thus far in the match.
04:15No question, he's played the game.
04:19He's played this game, this mental game, if you will, almost to perfection.
04:25There are bodies everywhere around ringside here.
04:33And as Moxley and Marina Shafir look on, John Silver at the mercy of Pac and Wheeler-Yuta.
04:42Backstabber of the year.
04:44John Silver here, finding out what happens.
04:49I'm going to test John Moxley.
04:52Alex Reynolds, who had a rip tape, Marina Shafir caught him with that briefcase.
04:59John Sovereign, out of nowhere, blasted Pac, and I mean he blasted him.
05:06But there's nowhere, there's nobody to tag.
05:09You see Alex Reynolds, bravely.
05:11You see Alex Reynolds, bravely trying to pull himself up.
05:16Rip tape, chest hurting.
05:19He wants in the ring, but should he get in there?
05:23Reynolds has been John Silver's tag team partner for 17 years.
05:28He's always stood by his side.
05:31There's an ounce of energy in his body.
05:33He's going to get in there.
05:35Had a pump kick to send Wheeler-Yuta out.
05:37He's fighting off two men while holding on to his ribs with his left arm.
05:39And there he gets wiped out by Claudio.
05:42Reynolds, a very technically sound pro wrestler.
05:46You can see here.
05:48On the knee.
05:50Yeah, even landing that drop kick.
05:52The rib cage is hurt.
05:54To get a breath in, Tony.
05:56You'll recall on Wednesday, he had...
05:58Oh, God, no.
06:00Oh, no.
06:02That's it.
06:05Step through.
06:07Sharpshooter is on.
06:09And sitting down deep with it.
06:11Yeah.
06:13Long, rangy legs of Castagnoli.
06:15Now, the Traynors could not take this.
06:17Look at him, look at him fight.
06:19Look at him grab.
06:21You see the trio's belts.
06:23That's what he's fighting for.
06:25In the foreground, Richie means pull back all the way to the other side of the ring.
06:29Come on.
06:31Get up.
06:33Wheeler-Yuta is coming in with a chair.
06:35Oh, look at this.
06:37Yes, distracting the official.
06:39Oh, God.
06:41Pac, stomping on the back of the head.
06:43On the back of Alex Reynolds.
06:45And that's it.
06:47He taps out.
06:51Here are your winners, and still the AEW World Trios champions,
06:57Wheeler-Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli,
07:00Look at this.
07:02and the Bastard, Pac.
07:04Pedometerlation is on.
07:06And back-to-back wins, through violence, through intimidation.
07:12Is there nobody to stop this team?
07:15Plenty of people have tried.
07:19A plethora of stars, competitors, from the locker room, time and again.
07:25But every time, the onslaught, no matter how impressive,
07:29has been stopped in its tracks.
07:31Eva Luna defiantly slaps Jon Moxley in the face.
07:38How about that?
07:41Meanwhile, Marina Shafir, trying to break the arm,
07:46and may have done so.
07:48Jon Silver, who up with it?
07:50I told you there'd be injuries.
07:52And now coming out,
07:55private party, Daniel Garcia,
07:57is coming out with them, you saw in the background there.
08:01Injured and bitten, but as brave as possible.
08:05Time flight, and that's not ready.
08:08And Jon Moxley gets booed, and jeered at,
08:11as he and his crew leaves.
08:13It took six other men,
08:17to convince Moxley and his crew,
08:20to exit.
08:21With Orange Cassidy,
08:23joining the mix.
08:26Cassidy out,
08:28surveys the situation,
08:31walks calmly away.
08:33And really, just a stunned group in the ring.
08:39I don't get this at all, to be honest with you,
08:42neither do private party and Daniel Garcia.
08:45Fans, fans, fans, fans, fans,
08:48to private party and Daniel Garcia.
08:50Fans, coming up next,
08:52Kazuchika Okada,
08:54defends the Continental title,
08:56against Kyle O'Reilly, on Battle of the Belts.
09:13The following contest is scheduled for one fall,
09:16with a 20 minute time limit,
09:18for the AEW Continental Championship.
09:22Introducing first, from Aichi, Japan,
09:25weighing 236 pounds,
09:27he's the AEW Continental Champion,
09:31the Rainmaker,
09:33Kazuchika Okada.
09:39Well, our 12th Battle of the Belts,
09:41has started out very violently here on TNT,
09:44and now it continues with what should be,
09:46an incredible,
09:48Continental Championship matchup.
09:51Remember, Continental Championship,
09:53there is no outside interference,
09:55no seconds,
09:57so you're not going to see the elite around.
09:59The fact that,
10:01John Moxley's in the building,
10:03tells me the elite's not going to be anywhere
10:05to be found anyway, those cowards.
10:07They are your bosses, Tony.
10:10You're very lucky to have a job here,
10:12because of them.
10:14I wouldn't stop,
10:16or refrain from calling them cowards,
10:18if you know what is good for you.
10:22So this, now,
10:24our first originally scheduled match,
10:26of the evening,
10:28and you didn't see Kazuchika Okada,
10:30coming out and try and get involved with John Moxley,
10:32did you?
10:34No, of course you wouldn't.
10:36He was preparing for his match.
10:38And his opponent,
10:40from Vancouver, British Columbia,
10:42weighing 206 pounds,
10:44Kyle O'Reilly.
10:46Kyle O'Reilly, who came out,
10:48of course,
10:50we saw in Wrestle Dream,
10:52he wanted to get a title match
10:54against Kazuchika Okada,
10:56who said no.
10:58But, Kyle O'Reilly took matters
11:00into his own hands,
11:02they both got thrown out,
11:04but now, he has got
11:06his continental title match,
11:08and a chance to dethrone,
11:10what's going to be a very difficult man
11:12to dethrone.
11:14No question.
11:16He's saying it,
11:18his little crybaby,
11:20Kyle O'Reilly, who didn't get his way,
11:22decided to try to take a cheap shot,
11:24one of the greatest champions
11:26in Japanese professional wrestling history,
11:28finally being rewarded
11:30for his little tantrum.
11:35Well, if it's such a great champion,
11:37then he would have said,
11:39yes, I'll defend the title against him.
11:41Of course not, if you're a champion,
11:43you pick and choose your title defense.
11:44Yes, you do.
11:46Well, I really think AEW picks.
11:48You would know that,
11:50if you'd ever been a champion.
11:52Okay, I think AEW is the one
11:54that picks and chooses
11:56who gets the title shot.
11:58Tony Khan does, not Kazuchika Okada.
12:00Well, yes, I will give you that,
12:02but then why help things
12:04and volunteer it,
12:06when you don't have to?
12:08Either way, I'm glad to see
12:10this match now,
12:12will be a great classic test
12:14of our 12th Battle of the Belts.
12:16Drop toe hold that time,
12:18flowed over by Kyle O'Reilly.
12:20The Battle of the Belts
12:22began back in January of 2022
12:24in Charlotte, North Carolina.
12:26And here,
12:28we're looking at number 12 here,
12:30more than two years later.
12:34He's had some great title matches here,
12:37and this is for the Continental Championship.
12:40Title that Okada won.
12:43From Eddie Kingston.
12:45After Kingston went through the tournament
12:47and won that tournament.
12:49After Kingston said he was going to
12:51dispel the myth
12:53of Kazuchika Okada.
12:55Okada dispelled the myth
12:57of Kingston as Continental Champion.
12:59Well, I don't know if
13:01dispel the myth is accurate or not.
13:03They both are great wrestlers.
13:05I don't know if you can dispel
13:07the myth of any guy
13:09by just beating them.
13:10John Moxley has done that
13:12to Brian Danielson.
13:14But be that as it may,
13:16certainly Okada
13:18wants to hold on to the title.
13:21And Okada slowly
13:23reaches back.
13:29Okada is such a great star,
13:31such a great wrestler.
13:33Has developed quite an attitude
13:35since becoming part of the elite.
13:37And Kyle O'Reilly
13:38with palm shots.
13:40But look how Okada covers up
13:42trying the Gujikatabi.
13:45Got the straight arm bar,
13:47but certainly clearly
13:50Okada got it
13:52locked into the ankle lock
13:54in the shade shot.
13:56There's the ankle lock on Okada.
14:00Okada reaching on the bottom rope
14:02and he gets there.
14:04And O'Reilly broke within the one count
14:06and now lowers the knee
14:08into the back, into the arm actually
14:10of Kazuchika Okada.
14:12This match is for the
14:14AEW Continental Championship.
14:16It is on battle of the belts.
14:1812 and this match continues.
14:20Stay with us.
14:22In picture, in picture.
14:26Certainly wasn't a clean break
14:28from Kyle O'Reilly.
14:30It was a clean break from Kyle O'Reilly.
14:32She said break, he broke
14:34and then he lowered the knee
14:36under the elbow.
14:38Yes.
14:40Are you blind?
14:42I'm not blind.
14:44You're wearing glasses.
14:46Do you need a new prescription?
14:48Would you stop?
14:50Flatliner basically face first
14:52from an elevated position
14:54goes Kyle O'Reilly
14:56and an evil smile on the face
14:58of Kazuchika Okada.
15:00Evil.
15:02I don't see evil there whatsoever.
15:04Evil is written all over the elite.
15:06Erudite.
15:08One man's evil
15:10is another man's
15:12erudition.
15:14I'm just making up words
15:16at this point, Tony,
15:18because you wouldn't know
15:20the difference anyway.
15:22You and Excalibur make up stuff
15:24all the time.
15:26Okada, unquestionably
15:28one of the biggest stars
15:30of his or any generation
15:32in the land of the rising sun.
15:34I agree.
15:36We are taking a look
15:38at one of the biggest stars
15:40of any continent,
15:42any country.
15:44They know the name Kazuchika Okada.
15:46Hammer throw.
15:48And Kyle O'Reilly
15:50hit very, very hard.
15:52And Kazuchika Okada
15:54just eating up the booze
15:56and the jeers
15:58and a lot of cheers as well,
16:00as you can see.
16:02Lightning rod for controversy
16:04somewhat.
16:06Certainly.
16:09Potato, potato.
16:12Good lord, Tony.
16:14You think you invented the language?
16:16No.
16:18Barely speak at your garbled
16:20version thereof.
16:25Rear chin lock here applied
16:27by Kazuchika Okada.
16:29What a night it has been.
16:31Glad you could be with us.
16:33We got full gear coming up
16:35on November 23rd on pay-per-view.
16:36Our next spectacular.
16:40Because that's the weekend
16:42right before
16:44the Thanksgiving weekend.
16:46It's going to be a great fall
16:48and a great winter for AEW.
16:50We can't wait to bring you
16:52all of our events.
16:54Be that as it may,
16:56you have to show some concern
16:58with Jon Moxley and his crew
17:00running roughshod over AEW.
17:02Who knows what state of affairs
17:04things will be by the time
17:06we step up to try to beat
17:08Moxley head-on.
17:10I got to give a lot of credit
17:12to Dark Order,
17:14to Daniel Garcia,
17:16to Private Party.
17:26Battle of the Belts 12
17:28continues here on TNT.
17:30Tony and Nigel,
17:32this is for the Continental
17:34Championship.
17:36Nigel puts him down
17:38with a European uppercut
17:40and turns his attention
17:42once again to the fans.
17:44The champion,
17:46Okada,
17:48having a lot of
17:50back and forth with the fans
17:52here, which really doesn't
17:54surprise me.
17:56And right now, Nigel,
17:58just toying here
18:00with Kyle O'Reilly.
18:02Okada looking at O'Reilly
18:04like he's something on the
18:06top turnbuckle.
18:08And once again,
18:10Okada
18:12looking out at the fans
18:14being very slow,
18:16very deliberate here.
18:18A pickup.
18:20He places O'Reilly down.
18:22And it appears,
18:24well,
18:26looking out at the fans again,
18:28Okada
18:30going to come over the top rope.
18:32He missed.
18:34He rolled through.
18:36O'Reilly, and he's back up.
18:38O'Reilly now
18:40finally mounting some offense.
18:42Getting back in striking distance.
18:44Kyle O'Reilly knee lifts here.
18:46Kyle O'Reilly on a six-match
18:48winning streak.
18:50Paintbrush, knee lift.
18:53Leg sweep.
18:55O'Reilly,
18:57you can just see the face.
18:59You can see
19:01the determination,
19:03the anger.
19:04And a slug to the side of the head.
19:06O'Reilly!
19:08O'Reilly!
19:10Oh, he gets slugged himself.
19:12And that rock, Kyle O'Reilly.
19:14Hammerlock.
19:16Spencer got around.
19:18Hammerlock driver on the shoulder.
19:20That's got to hurt, man.
19:22Pin that
19:24arm behind you.
19:26Taking one out of the playbook
19:28of Nigel McGuinness, nonetheless.
19:30Wow, how about that?
19:32Nigel McGuinness.
19:34That was a great ring with Kyle O'Reilly
19:36and Kazushiro Okada
19:38at Wembley Stadium.
19:40Was very impressed with both men,
19:42how they brought it.
19:44Yeah, they,
19:46dragon screw leg whip across the rope,
19:48the middle rope.
19:50O'Reilly's going to try to continue
19:52this offense as he
19:54slowly walks up the turnbuckles.
19:57Settles himself.
19:59It drives the knee down to Okada.
20:01But O'Reilly
20:02got up on the apron
20:04and then rolled on the floor as well.
20:06Awkward landing
20:08for the challenger as much the champion
20:10as Okada there.
20:12Hanging on desperately to the top rope.
20:14Nothing he could do to protect himself.
20:16Kyle O'Reilly comes up with the knee
20:18onto the hamstring
20:20and now the kneebar.
20:22You see the pain
20:24etched on the face of Okada.
20:26And O'Reilly
20:28driving his forearm
20:30into the ankle
20:32and now a kneebar
20:34and ankle hook as well.
20:38Hooked onto the leg
20:40of one of the greats.
20:42Four-time winner
20:44of the G1 Climax Tournament.
20:46A seven-time IWGP World
20:48heavyweight champion.
20:50He's fighting for his
20:52Continental Championship right now.
20:54But Kyle O'Reilly,
20:56it's almost like a figure four
20:58in many ways.
21:00Aversion with a heel hook as well
21:02and O'Reilly
21:04screaming and that's his own choice.
21:06Break the eyes,
21:08gouge the eyes.
21:10It's working.
21:12Right in front of the official
21:14who is allowing some liberal use
21:16of the rules here.
21:18Doesn't want to see this match
21:20ending in disqualification
21:22like all of us watching.
21:24It broke the hold
21:26obviously as you can see
21:28but the champion is slow
21:30and now hobbling
21:32to the end of the match.
21:34Coming up here still to come
21:36but we've got a lot more here
21:38on this Continental Championship match
21:40and that time
21:42Okada couldn't get him up.
21:44Okada was looking for the tombstone power drive
21:46but didn't have the strength in the left leg.
21:48He's been weakened considerably
21:50from the vicious heel hooks,
21:52kneebars.
21:54Kyle O'Reilly has plenty of experience
21:56in jujitsu.
21:58He's a purple belt.
22:00And also a former rugby star
22:02so you know how rough neck he can be.
22:04And circles back through.
22:06Picked up by Okada.
22:10Oof!
22:12Neckbreaker across the
22:14knee, the shoulder.
22:16Kyle O'Reilly who has had
22:18plenty of neck injuries.
22:20And fans, this match continues.
22:22Stay with us for the
22:24Continental Championship on Battle of the Belts.
22:26In picture.
22:28In picture.
22:30Kyle O'Reilly who has had
22:32spinal stenosis,
22:34who has had his neck injuries,
22:36who has battled back from it.
22:38That to me is
22:40unfortunately the right place
22:42for Okada to attack.
22:44Unfortunately for Kyle O'Reilly
22:46but fortunately
22:48for the Rainmaker
22:50who will be looking to add
22:52yet more gold and money
22:54more importantly
22:56to his savings account.
22:58Okada just limps away
23:00from his adversary here.
23:07Poised and resolute.
23:10Simple yet effective offense.
23:14Kazuchika Okada
23:16continues to push forward
23:18towards potential victory
23:20in title defense.
23:22What he's able to do here
23:24at Nitro is
23:25give Kazuchika Okada
23:27able to walk this off
23:29by disabling his opponent.
23:31Yeah, by taking down
23:33taking some of the starch
23:35out of Kyle O'Reilly.
23:37Yes, it does give him
23:39a little bit of time and space
23:41to get a little bit of blood
23:43flowing back in the leg.
23:45You get like a charley horse.
23:47It's tough to walk.
23:49Which is basically every morning
23:51when you wake up, Tony, right?
23:53How long does it take
23:55to get the blood flowing?
23:57I don't know.
23:59This match is certainly
24:01picking up the pace now
24:03as testing out the left leg.
24:05Okada.
24:07Okada
24:09again getting the blood
24:11back into it.
24:13Always a weak spot though.
24:15Always a bullseye
24:17for Kyle O'Reilly
24:19if he can
24:21grab that leg
24:23and attempt a heel hook again.
24:26I don't want to
24:28play fantasy book in here though.
24:30I would try to win this match
24:32sooner rather than later.
24:34Ooh, top wrist, look.
24:37Yep, top wrist lock applied.
24:48Battle of the belts continues.
24:51This is for the continental championship.
24:55Kyle O'Reilly, pushing the Continental Championship.
24:59I need you on your feet.
25:00The Continental Champion.
25:01What?
25:02Here, as you can see, blinking his eyes.
25:05True.
25:06Come on, baby, let's go.
25:07What a physical match-up.
25:09It's one we expect to take a look at the face
25:11of Kazuchika O'Reilly and of Kyle O'Reilly.
25:16As they get up.
25:1915 minutes have gone by.
25:20There are five minutes remaining.
25:24Five minutes to go in the 20-minute time limit, of course.
25:27Standing guillotine choke, and you see the awkward angle there.
25:31The elbow of Kyle O'Reilly adding pressure.
25:33That forearm, the left forearm underneath the throat
25:37across the windpipe.
25:38And the legs were folding on that.
25:40Knee strike to the sternum.
25:44Right now, Kyle O'Reilly has pushed the Continental Champion.
25:48Who picks him? O'Reilly, no.
25:50O'Reilly grabs the leg.
25:51He's got an ankle lock on.
25:53Previously damaged leg.
25:56Oh, this is in the center.
25:57This has been a great strategy from O'Reilly.
26:00Work on the leg.
26:01Put on now the ankle lock.
26:03Can Kazuchika O'Reilly make the ropes?
26:06He's reaching.
26:08He cannot get there.
26:09He cannot get there.
26:10Fingertips away, surely.
26:12Yes, he made it.
26:14He made it.
26:16And now Kyle O'Reilly with the clock working against him.
26:19You see O'Reilly there, slamming his hand,
26:22his fist into the mat.
26:23Frustration as the clock ticks down.
26:27The Continental title, defending it.
26:3020 minute time limit.
26:33Remember, Castagnoli and Okada
26:36what a classic matchup they had.
26:41And right now, Okada just trying to put this thing
26:43in the deep freeze.
26:44Look at this.
26:46No need, no need to get back in there.
26:49I agree.
26:50And here comes O'Reilly.
26:51Yes.
26:53Okada did not.
26:54Oh, DDT on the floor.
27:02And Okada now can simply let this clock run out.
27:08And that's what I think he wants to do.
27:11As long as they stay on the floor.
27:13Oh no, look, he wants to get a clear victory.
27:16That's a real champion, Tony.
27:18Well, I agree.
27:19That's a heck of a statement by Okada.
27:21Scoop slam.
27:25And Okada rising up on the turnbuckle pads.
27:30Up on top, gigantic elbow on target.
27:34O'Reilly right now defenseless.
27:38He's gonna have to try to mount some kind of offense.
27:42Ichiban.
27:44Yeah, right.
27:44Boo to that.
27:47He's gonna try the Rainmaker here.
27:50But Kyle O'Reilly knew it was coming.
27:51Full-arm drag and twist.
27:52Works on the-
27:53And lands.
27:54Oh, right into it.
27:58Left arm closing.
27:59Wasn't the full Rainmaker.
28:01No, here comes Ripcord.
28:03Missed.
28:04Dropkick.
28:05An amazing dropkick.
28:09Missed late in the match to get up that high.
28:11Here he comes, Tony.
28:12Here comes Ripcord.
28:13No, Kyle O'Reilly not with it.
28:15Kyle O'Reilly knee.
28:16Forearm.
28:17Trying to sleeper.
28:18There it was.
28:19No.
28:21There it is.
28:22The guillotine.
28:23The guillotine is on.
28:24With the body scissors as well,
28:26making Okada carry all of his body weight.
28:30Sapping the strength, but not enough.
28:32My God, Okada unbelievably came out of that.
28:36What an athlete to come out of that with sheer power.
28:40O'Reilly is spanked.
28:43There it is.
28:44The Rainmaker.
28:45There it is.
28:46The Rainmaker.
28:48And the cover.
28:50One, two, three.
28:52Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
28:56Your winner, and still the AEW Continental Champion,
29:01the Rainmaker,
29:03Kazucha Okada.
29:07Okada has to show some respect to Kyle O'Reilly
29:11for what he did.
29:12Almost got the time limit draw.
29:14Could not.
29:16Almost got the win.
29:17Could not.
29:19And it was the Rainmaker with the Rainmaker
29:22that preserved yet another win for Okada,
29:26his ninth win here in 2024.
29:29Okada won the match, retained the Continental title.
29:33He doesn't have to do a single thing he doesn't want to.
29:37That was his seventh successful Continental title defense.
29:42One big match coming up.
29:45It is an eliminator for the AEW Women's World Championship
29:47between Mariah May and Anna Jay.
29:50Take a look.
29:53AEW is where the best wrestle?
29:56Nah.
29:58AEW is where the best are afraid of the glamor.
30:02Mariah, I can talk about how we've wrestled twice
30:05and I lost.
30:07I can talk about how we both went to Japan
30:09and came back better for it.
30:12Or I can talk about how the AEW Women's World Championship
30:15has eluded me for the last four years.
30:18But let's just keep it simple.
30:19Mariah, I don't like you.
30:22I think you're a shady-ass person
30:24and your AEW run has been begging for a big fat receipt.
30:29And I am just the girl to give it to you.
30:32Because tonight, if I beat you,
30:34I get to do it all over again.
30:39Don't believe me?
30:41Just try me.
30:51Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
30:54That's happen when you mess with LFI.
30:58Esto te pasa por meterte con los mas cabrones.
31:02And this message is for everyone.
31:05We're gonna destroy every single wrestler
31:08and every single faction.
31:10And this company.
31:13And they will burn.
31:20Just remember, if you mess with the bull,
31:25you get the horns.
31:34Well, that was Hologram down on the floor there,
31:38apparently being attacked by LFI.
31:41Oh my God.
31:43Let's go back to the ring, we're on the next bench.
31:46The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall
31:49with a 20 minute time limit.
31:51Introducing first, a cover to the ring by Don Callis
31:54at a combined weight of 560 pounds,
31:58the Murderhawk Monster, Lance Archer,
32:01and the Ring of Honor, World Television Champion,
32:04The Machine, Brian Cage.
32:09I dare say, as we just heard, of course,
32:11from LFI and that big win they had earlier tonight
32:17on Collision, I dare say that Don Callis,
32:20who joined us once again here at the broadcast position,
32:25has found himself quite a duo.
32:26Let's go back though to Arcadiaro.
32:29And their opponents, Jack Cartwheel and John Cruz.
32:35John Cruz and Jack Cartwheel have the unenviable task here,
32:39Don Callis, of meeting your two men who, dare I say,
32:43you've got yourself quite a tag team here.
32:45I've given them a one word strategic advice, kill.
32:50I knew that was the word.
32:55As John Cruz here teaming up with Jack Cartwheel
32:59for the first time, Cartwheel's normal tag team partner,
33:03Frank Fullwood, not in attendance tonight.
33:06Absolutely, and here on Battle of the Bells,
33:10two new acquisitions.
33:11Don Callis, would you stop giggling for a second?
33:14One of them is, of course, a champion,
33:16the Ring of Honor, World Television Champion.
33:19Brian Cage, a fantastic athlete.
33:21What I have instilled in Brian Cage
33:23is a nastiness that was missing
33:25and is here on display tonight, look at that.
33:27Great legacy with the Ring of Honor TV title,
33:30some incredible competitors holding in the past,
33:33Samoa Joe.
33:34Look at this, no leash.
33:36He can walk into the Olympian win tomorrow, in my opinion.
33:40Jack Cartwheel tried his best to get out of the way,
33:43but he could not, and there is a massive deal
33:47to maybe bring in John Cruz, who's not so sure.
33:50Yeah, John Cruz, too smart to tag into this,
33:53like getting a rental car headed to the airport.
33:56Oh, Cage made the tag for him.
33:59Come on in, John Cruz.
34:01Cage is certainly helpful if he's nothing else.
34:05Just take a look at this.
34:07Look at the size of this tag team that you've got.
34:09Go and chalk the side of a battleship,
34:11it'll have the same effect.
34:14Cage will send John Cruz in.
34:20Gottman Gary, a big up John Cruz,
34:23is in a bad way here.
34:24Oh, Hulk monster!
34:26Someone needs to call the police, an ambulance,
34:28fire department, I don't know what.
34:30Lance Archer decimated John Cruz.
34:33If I was capable of empathy,
34:35I would feel very bad for John Cruz right now, Shivani.
34:38You've even given Lance Archer kind of a new look here.
34:42Right in rough.
34:44He's nasty.
34:45Six foot seven, 300 pounds.
34:49Release suplex.
34:52John Cruz can barely get up,
34:54so Lance Archer gonna help him stay down.
34:56We love to hurt people,
34:58and I like to watch them hurt people.
35:00You're up, oh God, one slug, and down goes Jack.
35:06Tang.
35:07Look at Cage all in black, deadly serious tonight here.
35:10Oh, oh my God!
35:15Watch this, guys.
35:22Look at this, double team!
35:24Oh, for crying out loud!
35:27Someone better get a shovel for Jack Cartwheel.
35:29He probably didn't put a hole in the rim.
35:31Or a spatula.
35:32And now John Cruz picked up.
35:35Here we go!
35:36Black out.
35:39Double team!
35:40I'm gonna go celebrate.
35:40One, two, three!
35:45Here are your winners,
35:46the Murderhawk Monster, Lance Archer,
35:49and the Machine, Brian Cage!
35:54Well, they certainly lived up to Don Callis' instructions.
35:58Kill him, indeed.
36:00It's a bad-ass team, I can tell you that, Nigel.
36:03It's a murder machine, is what it is.
36:08Brian Cage, the Ring of Honor television champion,
36:11Lance Archer, now part of Don Callis' family.
36:15No one is safe contending wrestling right now.
36:21Still to come,
36:22a AEW Women's Championship Eliminator Match
36:25between Mariah May and the champion, Lana Jada, right now!
36:28Let's go back to Lexi, now, backstage, Lexi.
36:32Undisputed Kingdom, you guys have requested
36:34the time of the Beastmore Toast.
36:37The floor is yours.
36:38Beast!
36:40Thanks for joining us.
36:41Here, some Beast meat?
36:44Mm-hmm.
36:45Yeah, oh, yeah.
36:45Hey, listen, we needed to talk to you about something.
36:47What is going on with you?
36:49Something's not right.
36:50What is going on with you?
36:51Yeah.
36:52Something seems off.
36:53It's way off.
36:54No, whoa, whoa, I'm just, I'm confused.
36:56You're taking out Hologram?
36:58Not cool.
36:59You're wearing a polo shirt?
37:00You never even wore a polo when you represented me, Frank.
37:03Not cool.
37:04And what are you doing fisting two other dudes?
37:07That's definitely not cool.
37:09But the thing that's the most disappointing in this all
37:12is the fact that you're doing it without us.
37:15Oh, my God.
37:16Right.
37:18Beast, we're not mad.
37:21We're just disappointed.
37:22No!
37:24No!
37:40Your Battle of the Belts main event
37:42is scheduled for one fall with a 20-minute time limit
37:45and it's an Eliminator Match
37:46for the AEW Women's World Championship.
37:50Introducing first, from London, England,
37:53she's the AEW Women's World Champion,
37:57The Glamour, Mariah May!
38:03We are being blessed again.
38:06My heart skipped a beat.
38:07I don't know about yours, Tony.
38:09Bobby stopped entirely.
38:11The Glamour has arrived.
38:16Boy, did Stockton, California, need it.
38:20Beautiful, glamorous, evil, arrogant.
38:27Champion.
38:28Champion.
38:29That's all that matters.
38:32This, an Eliminator Match, a big moment.
38:34Can Anna Jade do it?
38:36And her opponent, from Brunswick, Georgia, Anna Jade!
38:43Anna Jade, who's unbeaten since returning
38:45from an August tour, competing in Stardom's
38:482024 Five Star Tournament, where she posted four wins.
38:54Saying she feels the best she's ever been.
38:57But she has to go against this lady.
38:59She has to go against this lady.
39:01Unquestionably, Mariah May, understandably distraught
39:09after the way she dispensed with the former
39:12AEW World Champion and her former friend.
39:14But she was not on the cover of Pro Wrestling Illustrated.
39:21She was not on the cover of Pro Wrestling Illustrated.
39:24She was not on the cover of Pro Wrestling Illustrated.
39:27She was not on the cover of Pro Wrestling Illustrated.
39:30Clearly, Toni Storm was Stu Saks' childhood crush.
39:38Collar, elbow, tie up, and here we go.
39:44The chin of Let's Go Anna,
39:47brings out here in Stockton, California,
39:50full arm drag twist onto the wrist.
39:54There's Anna Jade.
39:56That time, the champ tried to grab a handful of head
39:59Good reversal, good go behind.
40:02Standing switch by Anna Jade to a side headlock.
40:04Side headlock takeover.
40:06There you go.
40:08And Anna Jade.
40:11Nice technical exchange and the champion coming up
40:13with a headlock again of her own.
40:17Mariah May, 55 days as the AEW Women's World Champion.
40:23Winning over Toni Storm at All In.
40:25Slapping her mother in the face, the boot in Wembley.
40:28She's what kind of daughter she is.
40:32Well, you want to talk about slapping somebody in the face.
40:34What about Anna Jade slapping Christopher Daniels
40:37in the face?
40:38Yeah, well, friendly fire, right?
40:41He deserved it.
40:42Snapmare takeover.
40:45Certainly, Jade looking impressive
40:48in the early goings in this match,
40:49but it is a tough fight.
40:52Jade looking impressive in the early goings in this match,
40:54but it is indeed the early goings.
40:56And you talked about returning from stardom in Japan.
41:01Showed a marked improvement in her ability
41:04against Harley Cameron.
41:07Before Wrestle Dream this past week.
41:13Anna Jade back, oh, jawbreaker that time.
41:15And nicely done by the Women's World Champion
41:17who, as beautiful as Glamour she is,
41:20can be very, very violent.
41:21There's a John Woo drop kick off of the left side ropes
41:24and the cover.
41:24One, two, and a two count.
41:27There's no question Mariah May is no nun.
41:32My dad was a nun.
41:33Did you know that?
41:36Every time he was up in court,
41:37they said occupation, he said nun.
41:41Shoulder tackle takedown.
41:46Into the ropes, and a J runs in.
41:51Spinning heel kick in the face of the champion.
41:54And a J-O goes running.
41:56Yeah, was really caught.
41:57Look at this!
41:59Glamour really raining down those right hands now.
42:04As I said, trying to prove something here now.
42:07Right now, the arrogant look that we saw
42:09on the World Champion has changed a little bit.
42:12One, two, three.
42:14May has been absolutely vociferous
42:17in her protection of the AEW Women's title.
42:20Taking out challenges left and right.
42:23That's a very angry look that Mariah May has right now.
42:27I guess, oh, look at, they've got a hairbill
42:30for crying out loud.
42:32What is wrong with that?
42:33A hairbill.
42:34She's gonna do it again!
42:35The Greco Roman hairbill, and very effective with it.
42:38Oh, brother.
42:42Nothing illegal there, Tony.
42:47And a J gets thumped by Mariah May.
42:51Oh, and another one.
42:53Oh, and a J, really now.
42:55Here's a pickup by Mariah.
42:56Spin.
42:58Mariah, go round!
43:00Boom!
43:01Dropped her down and tries to get the win.
43:04One, two.
43:06And a J comes out of it, but now Mariah May
43:08with that arrogant look returns.
43:11This is the 11th intermatch
43:12for the Women's World Championship.
43:14It continues in picture-in-picture.
43:18Title not on the line.
43:19And a J must pick up a pinfall or submission
43:24to earn a future title opportunity.
43:26Is that right, Tony?
43:27That's right.
43:30As we saw earlier on Collision,
43:34former AEW Women's Champion Jamie Hayter
43:37with a very impressive victory.
43:39Absolutely.
43:40As a dream matchup for anyone, certainly.
43:42But right now, May not thinking about Hayter.
43:48Paying attention to the very capable, credible Anna J.
43:53And, of course, we also saw Chris Stadlander.
43:55So we've had some great women's competition here tonight
43:58on this doubleheader on TNT.
44:00So glad you could join us.
44:05And a J's in a tough spot right here.
44:08Three, four.
44:09Right now, the World Champion being relentless
44:12backs away.
44:14Shotgun dropkick.
44:17One, two, and a two-count.
44:21See J grabbing at the left arm,
44:23trying to get a little bit of feeling into that
44:25after the hammerlock using the top rope.
44:27Full leverage.
44:30Vertical suplex, rolls over.
44:32Hooks a leg, one, two.
44:34But Anna J will not stay down.
44:36Comes right back again.
44:38Look how commanding as it now transitions to the armbar attempt.
44:43Mariah May, great technique.
44:46Yeah, but Anna J's got those hands locked,
44:48as you can see, preventing
44:52the jujutsu homing.
44:53And she rolls off the table.
44:54One, two, and got a two-count.
44:57One of the difference between pro wrestling and MMA,
44:59of course, that three-count always makes you susceptible.
45:03Here's a roll-up again.
45:04One, two.
45:05Anna J ducked out of the way, rolls up.
45:06One, two.
45:08Back and forth these women go.
45:11Oh, yanking down on the arm once again.
45:13And now, boy, that can just pull the shoulder
45:14right out of the socket.
45:15Arm stunner.
45:17Mariah once again.
45:19Mariah May taking back control of this matchup.
45:24I just love how Mariah May is such a bon vivant.
45:29Posted on social media when she first moved to America,
45:32Good news, though.
45:33Everyone is okay.
45:34And the firefighters are sexy.
45:38That's great.
45:40Make you want to stay off social media.
45:42Make you want to be a firefighter.
45:44Into the ropes.
45:45Mariah trying to lair it.
45:47Nope.
45:49Reverse heel kick that time.
45:51Oh, and a flatliner puts down.
45:54One, two.
45:56Anna J and the home run.
45:59Attention to detail.
46:01The mark of a champion.
46:04Mariah May has done so much for the AEW women's title.
46:09Not just that.
46:10AEW in general.
46:13From what I understand, we may have not got the TV deal.
46:16Were it not for Mariah May as the AEW world champion.
46:21And it's not just that.
46:22It's not just that.
46:23It's not just that.
46:24It's not just that.
46:25It's not just that.
46:27It's not just that.
46:28It's not just that.
46:29It's not just that.
46:30Not just that.
46:32It's not just that.
46:33Not just that.
46:34As the AEW world champion.
46:41Welcome back everyone to Battle of the Belts 12.
46:45This is an eliminator match for the AEW women's world championship.
46:49And a win here by Anna J would give her a title shot against champion Mariah May.
46:55And right now, we're in the middle of a slugfest.
47:03Great crowd on hand here in Stockton, California.
47:07It's been a great night of action so far.
47:09Here's a hammer throw in.
47:11Mariah May follows her in.
47:13Another shot.
47:15Other side.
47:16Hannah Jay moves out of the way.
47:19Hannah Jay with a right slap.
47:24And once again, a slugfest ensues.
47:27Jay's absorbed a lot of punishment in this match
47:31as the glamour has brought it time and time again.
47:37Hannah Jay with a hammer throw in.
47:38A follow-in with a good forearm shot.
47:43Heels are out of the corner.
47:44That's okay.
47:45Tony, you were complaining about it earlier.
47:48Are you... I don't see...
47:50I don't think she pulled hair that time.
47:54I'm getting you for Christmas.
47:55Some binoculars.
47:57Reversal into the ropes.
47:58Hannah Jay holds on nicely.
48:00Hannah Jay elevates the champion.
48:06Hannah Jay.
48:09As we mentioned, three-match winning streak.
48:12Won last night on Rampage over Trish Adora,
48:15not trying her best to get a world title shot.
48:23Sends the world champion Mariah May down.
48:27And now covers her.
48:28One, two, no.
48:30Mariah May is still in this.
48:34England's angel.
48:37Try to be impartial up here, could you please?
48:39Absolutely.
48:40England's angel still looks to the heavens.
48:47It was England's rose right now.
48:50A thorny forearm.
48:52Trying to pick up Hannah Jay.
48:53Hannah Jay with a couple of elbows in the back of the head.
48:56She'll pick up the world champion.
48:58Side suplex into cover.
49:00One, two, no.
49:02Didn't get it.
49:04Did not get it.
49:05Hannah Jay still with that left arm hurting as you can see.
49:10Maybe trying to rethink some strategy, but she is not 100%.
49:15That arm seems to be dangling at the left side.
49:19Mariah May who valiantly, oh!
49:22Sleeper hold right in the center.
49:24She causes the queen slayer.
49:27She's got it all.
49:28Mariah May who's fighting valiantly
49:30to try to get to a rope.
49:34That is indeed quite a good one.
49:35Digging the teeth into the forearm.
49:38And a pick up.
49:39Oof.
49:42Side suplex.
49:43German suplex.
49:45One, two, no.
49:48No.
49:49There's more left to Hannah Jay yet.
49:55Momentary desperation on part of the champion.
49:57Taking a bite out of the arm of the challenger.
50:02Hannah Jay who had 30 wins back in 2022
50:06is wrestling her 108th AEW women's match.
50:11Oof.
50:13But she got DDT'd for the rubs.
50:15One, two, no.
50:17And she comes out of that.
50:18But the question is, that's a face of concern,
50:21a look of concern on the world champion.
50:24Little bit of blood on the lip.
50:29She's firing up Mariah May.
50:31Oh, boy.
50:33What a lascivious champion.
50:37This is the best we have ever seen Hannah Jay.
50:39She is hanging with the world champion.
50:42She has returned from stardom, as she said.
50:46Feeling great about herself.
50:48Four big wins in Japan.
50:50Hanging with the world champion.
50:53How much longer?
50:55Lucentia Rolfe with a top rope tieris.
50:57And a running knee lift.
51:00She's not done yet.
51:02This could be the end of Hannah Jay.
51:03No.
51:04Rolls are one, two, no.
51:07Mariah May escapes into the midsection.
51:14Scatter up, no.
51:16A roll up from one, two.
51:18And Hannah Jay's out again.
51:19What a match we have.
51:21This elimination matchup.
51:23That headbutt staggered Hannah Jay.
51:25Jay really wants the title opportunity.
51:28Mariah May doesn't want to give it to her.
51:29Hannah Jay.
51:31Rolls are up.
51:31One, two, three.
51:32Hannah Jay beat her.
51:34Hannah Jay beat the world champion.
51:35Here is your winner, Hannah Jay.
51:43What an upset.
51:45Hannah Jay did it.
51:46The fans erupt.
51:49Mariah May complained about a lack of critical challenges.
51:54She's just got a new one in Hannah Jay.
51:58Who picked up like you said, Sonya, an upset victory here tonight.
52:02I can't believe it.
52:04I've just been told by Tony Khan that the woman you're looking at right now,
52:10Hannah Jay, will get her title match in two weeks.
52:15On collision when we are in Philadelphia at the Lea Chorus Center and here on TNT.
52:23That is in two weeks.
52:24That is on Saturday, November 2nd.
52:27We're going to be live in Philadelphia.
52:29What a match.
52:30What a win for Hannah Jay.
52:32Her biggest one to date.
52:34The world championship will be on the line in Philadelphia.
52:39That is in two weeks.
52:41What a night it's been with collision at Battle of the Belts.
52:45We will see you at the Maverick Center on Wednesday with Dynamite on DBS.

52:54Welcome, everyone, to Battle of the Belts 12.
