Excalibur: "ITS WEDNESDAY NIGHT.... AND YOU KNOW WHAT......" Before Excalibur can finish his opening montages, Eddie Kingston storms from out of the back and into the ring.....
Eddie Kingston: "YOU SHUT YOUR FREAKIN MOUTH RIGHT NOW EXCALIBUR! NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR STUPID CATCHPHRASES! So it's been brought to my attention that some wiseass in the IWA has issued a $100,000 bounty on my head! That's gonna bring out every freaky bastard under any rock trying to collect that money. Whoever it is has some really deep pockets..... and shallow balls! Because they can't get it done themselves! Then I got to thinking..... I bet the IWA World TV champion makes some good dough. He's gotta have some deep pockets! Whassdamatter Manny? You wouldn't give me another shot, hoping I would go away? So you put a freakin bounty on my head? I got news for ya pardnah..... that just makes me want your ass even more now! You wanna put a bounty on me? So be it! I'm sure there's someone back there dying to collect. I ain't leaving this ring until somebody tries to come collect Manny's money!" Kingston marches around the ring staring at the entrance. Then after a few seconds, out comes......
OX BAKER!
Excalibur: "Ox Baker?? He isn't employed here! He works over in BTW! Folks, it looks like Eddie Kingstons suspicions may be right. Did Manny Fernandez send Baker here to take out Kingston?" Match One: Eddie Kingston vs Ox Baker ($100,000 Bounty Match) Kingston immediately attacks Ox at the opening bell. He lands a dive to the floor onto Baker. Ox blocks a chair shot and hits a chair-assisted leg drop. He throws Kingston into the barricade and hits a suplex onto the floor. Baker props a table against the barricade but Kingston suplexes him through it. Baker powerbombs Kingston through a table setup between the barricade and the apron. Many referees come out to check on Kingston. There’s a long pause as Baker berates him on the microphone and says its time for whoever issued the bounty to pay him! Referees carry Kingston to the back. About halfway up the isle, Kingston gets a second wind causing Kingston to reenter the ring. They exchange shots and Kingston connects with a lariat. Ox blocks a backfist but falls victim to a half nelson suplex. He recovers with a DDT onto a chair. Kingston is busted open!
Baker hits a chair-assisted corner cannonball. Another table enters the ring and Kingston hits a saito suplex onto it. He follows with another saito suplex through a propped chair. And now Ox is busted open. Baker pulls a spike out of his tights but he gets caught by a backfist. Kingston low blows Ox and hits the piledriver for a nearfall. Kingston spits at Ox then hits a Saito suplex to Baker through a bundle of chairs! 1.....2......3!
Excalibur: "Good grief..... I'm not sure we can describe Eddie Kingston a winner after that match, especially with all the damage he took from Baker, but nonetheless he is victorious here tonight. But you can bet he's not done fighting..... until he finds the bounty holder!" The cameras pan backstage, where we see Johnny Gargzno preparing for his AEW Heavyweight title shot against Matt Riddle tonight.

Match Four: Darby Allin vs "All Ego" Ethan Page w/Motor City Machine Guns (Anything Goes Match) Allin has Page’s name written all over him. The bell sounds, Allin runs wild and takes out the Machine Guns, but Page cuts him off with chair shots. Page tries to assassinate Allin by tossing him from the ring into the first five rows of chairs. Page continues his assault by throwing Allin like a fucking javelin into the wall. Allin is busted open, so Page hits him in the face with a ladder. Page wraps a chair around Allin’s head and posts him to maintain control. Page slams the ladder onto Allin, who is a bloody mess. Allin keeps fighting back, showing great resiliency here. Page cuts him off and hits the iconoclasm onto one of the ladders. Allin again fights back, hitting a RANA and then attacking Page with chair shots. Allin up top, Page hits him with a smash mouth chair toss and then grabs a table.

Allin sets up the ladder, climbs and has to fight off the Machine Gunns allowing Page to hit a low blow. Page climbs as well, AN PRESS SLAMS ALLIN OFF THE LADDER THROUGH TABLES ON THE FLOOR!
The fans chant "HOLY SHIT! AND PLEASE DONT DIE!" Back in the ring and Page sets up chairs, climbs on them and looks for a package piledriver and hits it but Allin somehow survives. The crowd is trying to rally Allin as Page sets up another table. Allin gets a trash an and goes into the bleachers, puts on the trashcan and goes for the coffin drop and NO ONE CATCHES HIM. Allin drags himself to the ring, waffles Page with the can repeatedly and puts Page through a table with a huge splash off of the ladder for the win!
Darby can barely pull himself out of the ring and head towards the dressing room he is so beat up. Before he gets there Page grabs the housemic......

***COMMERCIAL BREAK ***
Its time for our AEW Heavyweight Title main event but as Johnny Gargano makes his way to the ring......
Killer Kross comes from behind and viciously attacks Gargano and smashes the hourglass over Garganos head. They end up on top of the announce table and Gargano fights back finally. Kross falls off the table and Gargano does a huge leap off of it onto him. They go to the top of the stage and Kross gets the advantage again. Kross drives a knee into the temple of Gargano, who was pinned up against one of the video boards. Kross grabs Gargano in the Irish Curse backbreaker and jumps off the stage and drives Gargano through a table!
The refs and Candice LaRae come out to check on Gargano as a stretcher is immediately called for Gargano. Gargano has a hell of a welt on his forehead from that hourglass shot. It’s full stretcher sell job as the cameras follow Gargano being taken out of the building as they go to the anbulance. The locker room checks on him as well and then Matt Riddle, who was coming for the match, walks past Gargano and isn’t happy with what he sees. The ambulance drives away and then the camera pans up to the trailer truck that was next to the ambulance, and Killer Kross was standing on top of it waving goodbye to the ambulance as show fades to black.
