The Lucha Bros def. Jurassic Express
MORE FOR YOU
`Rey Fenix was out of this world in this match, but the biggest star in the building was NBA world champion Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Did I mention how fantastic Rey Fenix was in this match? And that’s with Penta El Zero M having one of the best performances of his AEW career.
The Lucha Bros and The Young Bucks risks stealing the show at AEW All Out, even with a CM Punk return match on the card.
Miro Brawls with Eddie Kingston
Miro took a page out of Lance Archer’s playbook by beating up Fuego del Sol on his way out of the tunnel and to the ring.
The AEW-leaning “Wrestling Observer Live” may defend AEW for breaking its stipulation, but Miro is still pissed about it two weeks later.
Eddie Kingston and Miro should be a fun feud, but by no means should Kingston win it.
Prior to disrespectfully removing Fuego del Sol’s mask, Miro savagely said “show your face to the lord.”
Bunny def. Tay Conti
Chris Jericho spent the entire night popping Taz and Mark Henry, which he did most effectively by comparing Bunny to Baby from The House of 1000 Corpses.
I was shocked that Bunny won this match, which I consider a massive upset to the previously red-hot Tay Conti, who was on a long win streak.
Christian Cage and Frankie Kazarian def. Kenny Omega and Brandon Cutler
It was great to see Frankie Kazarian in a main event spot, because he’s been very underrated as The Elite Hunter.
The crowd seemed tired for this match.
Brandon Cutler worked a long stretch of this match where he was being dominated by Kazarian.
There was a temptation for Christian to pin Kenny Omega to make him seem like an even bigger threat heading to All Out, but Brandon Cutler expectedly took the pin.
