August Week 4
The show kicks off with the entrance of Junior Elite Champion PJ Black. As always, he's accompanied by Chavo Guerrero.
Black: Well well well. What a disappointing turn of events last week. Just as we were about to crown me a number one contender for Implosion, it all got ruined...
The crowd boos.
Black: So I suppose that means I have the day off at Implosion... but that doesn't sit well with me! So while I'll gladly take that well deserved day off, I'm gonna make up for it by defending my championship, right here tonight!
The crowd (reluctantly) cheers.
Guerrero: And PJ you told me to find you a top level opponent. Since you've already ran through this division with ease, I had to think outside the box to find your opponent. I hope you don't mind.
Black: Not at all
Guerrero: In that case, ladies and gentlemen! Please welcome PJ Blacks opponent here tonight for the Junior Elite Championship... COLIN DELANEY!
Jim Ross: Oh you have got to be kidding me? This is the big opponent.
Former ECW jobber Colin Delaney comes sauntering out to the stage looking like he barely belongs. He comes down to the ring and it looks like we have ourselves a championship match.

Match #1 - Junior Elite Championship - PJ Black © vs. Colin Delaney
The match starts and PJ hits a spinning back kick to the gut that drops Delaney and takes the air out of him. Black has a big smile on his face as Delaney tries to pull himself up using Blacks tights. The rest of the match is Black toying with Delaney. Eventually he finally ends the suffering with a 450 splash and a victory.
PJ Black wins by pinfall
Chavo hands Black his championship and they celebrate like Black just went the distance with Bret Hart.
Jim Ross: Hopefully AEW management has something to say about this, because PJ Black does not deserve to skate by.

Match #2 - Walter vs. Fenix
One of the better matches in recent weeks. It's a David and Goliath story between two competitors with a mutual respect for each other.
Against all odds, Fenix brings the fight to the IC Champion. The match is very open and back and forth, but before we can get a result, Okada runs in and attacks Fenix.
Fenix wins by DQ
Okada starts stomping out Fenix, then hits him with a Rainmaker. Okada clearly still isn't over his loss to Fenix last week.

Match #3 - The Young Bucks vs. Crime Time
A back and forth but relatively short match that sees The Bucks start to gain momentum through quick tags. They hit More Bang for your Buck on JTG and get the win.
The Young Bucks win by pinfall
That's another W for Nick and Matt. We'll see how Cody Hall and David Finlay fare in tonights main event.

Match #4 - IC #1 Contenders - Dave Mastiff vs. Brian Cage
Match 5 of the best of 5 series. The bell ring and both men just starts slugging it out. Cage gets the better of Mastiff in the standup game. He hits some impressive moves, a hurricanrana, and a dive. Mastiff however answers back by flattening Cage with a body tackle.
After some back and forth between both men, the camera pans to the stage where Eli Drake is guiding Kongo Kong down to the ring... what's going on?
Kong enters the ring and levels both Mastiff and Drake.
NO CONTEST
Cage gets up and tries to come at Kong, but Kong hits him with a big headbutt. Mastiff stumbles to his feet and Kong hits him with a big boot that knocks him out of the ring.
Eli Drake gets in the ring. He's constantly talking to Kong either giving instruction, or hyping him up. What is this new duo that has alligned?

Match #5 - The American Wolves vs. Next Gen Unrivaled (with Cody)
This main event is absolutely hyped! Good fast paced action from bell to bell. NGU puts up a good showing against the tag champs. Finlay uses his eccentric offensive style while Cody Hall works that big man style. It takes the Wolves a while to figure out how to deal with Hall, but they eventually do.
It's looking like the tag champs are about to pull out the win, when Cody Hall pulls out his signature brass knuckles. Hall charges up a punch on Davey Richards, but Richards roundhouse kicks it out of his hands. He answers with a superkick to the knee and then a Buzzsaw kick to the head. 1-2-3!
The American Wolves win by pinfall
The tag champions celebrate the win, just two weeks out from their big defense at IMPLOSION against The Golden Lovers. Hall and Finlay take a loss despite their attempt to cheat, and it looks like the tides have turned in terms of the better half of Bullet Club.
