Continental Challenge Tournament – Quarterfinals

Cassidy takes the opportunity to execute a Roll Up on O’Reilly, but he resists. O’Reilly re-applies the Ankle Lock and forces Cassidy to submit.
Winner: Kyle O’Reilly via submission
– Backstage, Renee Paquette asks Nigel McGuinness how he is doing since he was forced to bow out of his match at Death Before Dishonor. McGuinness begins to respond, but Will Ospreay arrives to check on the doctor as well. Ospreay says they are fighting for pride. He explains that when he was younger he watched McGuinness in ROH. Seeing McGuinness succeed gave him hope that it could be possible. McGuinness opened the door for guys like him. He says All In is a unique opportunity. Ospreay will have the chance to do what no one has done before: a Brit winning the world title in England. He doesn’t know how much time he has left in his career, but Ospreay must win this match for the rest of his career.
Tag Team Match – Non-Title
Megan Bayne and Lena Kross vs two local female wrestlers (Erica Leigh and Tiara James)
At the end of the match, Bayne and Kross decide to mimic Hayter and Windsor’s finish, ending with their Double ChokeSlam for the three-count in under two minutes.
Winners: Megan Bayne and Lena Kross
Continental Challenge Tournament – Quarterfinals
Daniel Garcia vs Claudio Castagnoli
At the end of the match, Castagnoli performs a Giant Swing with Garcia’s leg. Castagnoli follows with an Uppercut and pins Garcia, but Garcia kicks out at two. Castagnoli delivers another Uppercut and lifts Garcia from the ground into a Powerbomb, then follows with a Sharpshooter to force the submission.
Winner: Claudio Castagnoli via submission
Trios Match
Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin and Lee Moriarty vs Three local wrestlers (Ryan O’Neill, Nic Nolan and Matt Mako)
At the end of the match, Benjamin and Lashley crush the three opponents in under two minutes and tag Moriarty to leave, having completed their task. Moriarty applies his Border City Stretch on one of the wrestlers for the three-count.
Winners: Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin and Lee Moriarty via submission
– After the bout, Shane Taylor grabs the microphone. Shane Taylor says that Moriarty represents greatness. Over the past year, Moriarty has dominated ROH’s Pure division, not to mention the faction that has ruled the Trios division. He then issues an Open Challenge to any trio willing to come and face them.
Trios Match
Jay White, Austin Gunn and Colten Gunn vs Shane Taylor, Carlio Bravo and Sean Dean
At the end of the match, the Gunns drop a DDT on Bravo to push him away. Taylor tries to intervene, but the Gunns hit a 3D on Taylor to drive him from the ring. White climbs into the ring and lands his Blade Runner on Bravo for the three-count.
Winners: Jay White, Austin Gunn and Colten Gunn
– After the bout, Jay White takes the microphone. Jay White says that his last match against Moxley in the Continental Cup tournament didn’t go as planned. When one door closes, another opens. So he turns toward the Dogs. Not to mention Adam Page, Bandido and Brody King. He thanks their help, but he didn’t need that assistance against the Dogs. White says Page invited anyone to come face them at All In. So they will prevail and arrive at that opportunity.
– Backstage, Lexie is with the Conglomeration to get their take on the Continental Tournament. Kyle O’Reilly says he knew the tournament would test him and he eliminated two of his best friends in the early rounds. This tournament is his, and Nigel McGuinness stands in his path to All In. Willow Nightingale says she missed an All In at home and then the Gauntlet. But this time nothing will stop her from achieving her All In dream and remaining champion at the PPV.
– We’re shown a video recapping the entire history between Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay since NJPW.
Tag Team Match
Komander and Mike Bailey vs Tommaso Ciampa and Nick Wayne
At the end of the match, Wayne dodges a charge from Komander in the corner. Ciampa looks to exploit by removing Komander’s mask, but Bailey pushes him away. Wayne takes advantage to land a Superkick and a T-Bone Suplex on Komander for the three-count.
Winners: Tommaso Ciampa and Nick Wayne
– Backstage, the Death Riders are shown. Wheeler Yuta says the semifinal is bad for the Death Riders because only one member of the faction will remain for the final. Moxley tells him to stop talking.
AEW Women’s Championship – Singles Match
Maya World vs Willow Nightingale (c)
At the end of the match, World lands strikes on Willow, but Willow answers with a Clothesline. Willow goes for her finisher, but World reverses it into a quick pin, and Willow barely powers out. The two exchange a series of near-falls, and Willow finally locks World’s shoulders to the mat for the three-count.
Winner: Willow Nightingale
The show ends with a celebration for Willow.
Le show se termine avec une célébration de Willow.
