AEW World Tag Team Championship Eliminator Tournament Finals: Jurassic Express vs. Lucha Brothers

Rey Fenix and Jungle Boy start the bout and showcase their athleticism. Jungle Boy gains the upper hand with a dropkick. Fenix drops Jungle Boy with an arm drag and dodges a Snare Trap attempt.

Penta El Zero M and Luchasaurus tag in and square off. Penta hits the big man with some strikes, but the dinosaur fires back with a chop. All four men are down after an exchange of strikes.

After a commercial, Fenix and Jungle Boy dove onto their respective opponents outside the ring. Luchasaurus drilled Pentagon with some stiff blows and suplexed him. The dinosaur dropped both Lucha Brothers with a double clothesline and chokeslammed Fenix onto Penta. Fenix rocked Luchasaurs with a spinning kick and paid tribute to Eddie Guerrero with a frog splash for a two count.

A poison-rana dropped Fenix right on his head, and Jungle Boy locked in the Snare Trap, but Luchasaurus saved his partner. Penta earned a two count with a modified pump-handle slam. Jungle Boy avoided the Fear Factor, but Fenix sent him flying with a hurricanrana onto Penta and Luchasaurus outside the ring.

Later, Penta floored Jungle Boy with a destroyer on the apron. The Lucha Brothers rocked Luchasaurus with a few double superkicks, but the big man still kicked out. An assisted piledriver finally put Luchasaurus down for the count. As a result, the Lucha Brothers will face the Young Bucks for the titles in a steel cage match at AEW All Out.

In-ring segment: Miro

AEW TNT Champion Miro walks down the ramp while he attacks Fuego Del Sol all the while. He rolls Fuego into the ring and grabs a microphone. The champion tells Fuego to reveal his face; he then rips Fuego’s mask off and drops him with a kick.

Eddie Kingston walks to the stage before he breaks into a run. He enters the ring and brawls with Miro until officials separate them.

Tay Conti vs. The Bunny

The Bunny attacks Conti before the match officially starts in order to gain the upper hand early on. She stomps on Conti in the corner and drills her with a running elbow. The Bunnt dominates the opening minutes and grounds Conti.

Still, Conti rallied with a backbreaker and a spinning slam. She rocked The Bunny with three running pump kicks and blasted her with the Tay-KO,but Penelope Ford distracted Conti at ringside. While the referee dealt with Ford at ringside, The Blade gave The Bunny some brass knuckles, and The Bunny blasted Conti with them. She then pinned Conti and snapped her 15-match winning streak.

Winner: The Bunny

Ford celebrated with The Bunny after the match.

The broadcast team runs through the card for AEW All Out and confirms that Miro will defend the TNT Championship against Eddie Kingston at the pay-per-view.

Ahead of the main event, the teams of Kenny Omega & Brandon Cutler and Christian Cage & Frankie Kazarian hype up the bout. Kazarian and Cage tell Omega to actually get in the ring tonight, and the reigning IMPACT World Champion knows he has already hurt Omega by taking one title from him.

Kenny Omega and Brandon Cutler (with Don Callis) vs. Kenny Omega and Frankie Kazarian

Cutler and Kazarian start the match, and “The Elite Hunter” takes the fight to The Elite’s proverbial waterboy. Omega tags in, and a distaction from MT Nakazawa lets Omega take control. Kazarian drops Omega with a Russian legsweep, and Omega quickly tags out when Cage enters the match.

Cage punches Cutler right in the face and double-teams him with Kazarian. A springboard legdrop gives “The Elite Hunter” even more control, and he suplexes Kazarian onto the rope. Another distraction helps Omega regain the advantage. The AEW World Champion tags in and keeps Kazarian grounded.

Cutler asks for the tag while Kazarian is down, and Omega gives it to him. The masked man hits an elbow drop and dances before he attempts another, but Kazarian dodges it. Cage enters the mach, and Omega refuses to tag in, but he attacks Cage from behind.

The IMPACT World Champion fires back and punches Omega. He drops Omega with a reverse DDT. Omega pulls Cage groin-first into the ring post, but the fan-favorite dodges a knee strike, so Omega accidentally blasts Cutler. “The Belt Collector” avoids the Killswitch and walks out on Cutler, leaving his stooge to fall victim to a Killswitch that gives Cage and Kazarian the victory.

Winners: Frankie Kazarian and Christian Cage
