"The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher beats Shelton Benjamin in the Blue League of the Continental Classic via pinfall with a schoolkid pin while using the ropes for leverage. Kyle Fletcher earns three points, and leads the Blue League with six points, while Shelton Benjamin still has three points.
It is announced that "Rock Hard" Juice Robinson was injured in his recent Continental Classic match against Will Ospreay and will be replaced by Komander as we look back on more recent Continental Classic action.
Hook heads to the ring. He calls out "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne after hearing what he had to say, and if Wayne wants to fight him in New York City, he would rather fight Christian Cage in New York City and leave him in worse condition than Christian left Taz. Hook then demands that he wants a fight right now, and Christian shows up with Mama Wayne. All of a sudden, Hook is attacked from behind by Kip Sabian and Nick Wayne, but Hook holds his ground until Mama Wayne distracts him. Christian tries to sneak up on Hook, and while Hook notices him, the numbers game soon takes over. Sabian and Wayne grab two metal folding chairs for a Con-Chair-To to Hook's left hand, and Nick Wayne smashes Hook's hand.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Mercedes Moné, who says that Kamille quit last week and that she has no concerns for her before stating that Anna Jay stuck her nose where it didn't belong. She says that she will be watching Anna's match with Penelope Ford closely before stating that there is a price to pay for messing with her.
Backstage, MVP wants to know why Shelton Benjamin did not hurt Kyle Fletcher and says he is disappointed in him before Lashley walks away, also disappointed. When a production hand runs into him, Shelton beats him up, and when security shows up, MVP and Lashley attack them. MVP says that is what they do.
Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly are the last two men in the Dynamite Diamond Battle Royal, and the two of them will face MJF for the Dynamite Diamond Ring next week.
We find out that Julia Hart wants Jamie Hayter to come back at the same time as she does so she can prove that she is stronger than her.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn). "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn says they have been trying to talk Max Caster out of tonight's match and that they have accomplished everything as a team. Max Caster thinks that Anthony Bowens and Billy Gunn are supporting him when they are really disappointed.
Swerve Strickland beats "Platinum" Max Caster with three House Calls. After the match, Swerve hits Max Caster with the Swerve Stomp. Swerve then says it is not over between himself and Lashley.
We hear from MJF, who says that he and Adam Cole were white-hot as a tag team until Adam turned on him because he felt that MJF would turn on him first. He says that because of this, Roderick Strong's arm is broken and Adam will now have to beat Kyle O'Reilly to get to him. He also says that Jon Moxley is now AEW World Champion and murdering people right and left, then says he is sick and tired of Adam pretending to be the hero when he is really the villain who must be terminated. MJF says Adam cannot beat O'Reilly and that it will be proven that he cannot beat him next week.
We see a video package chronicling the events leading up "Switchblade" Jay White vs. PAC tonight.
"Switchblade" Jay White beats PAC despite interference from Wheeler Yuta behind the referee's back. After the match, Yuta tries to attack Switchblade again, but Switchblade hits him with Blade Runner. Marina Shafir slides into the ring to confront Switchblade, who is then attacked from behind by Jon Moxley. Moxley hits Switchblade with Paradigm Shift, and as he and Shafir are about to leave, "Hangman" Adam Page shows up. Moxley confronts Hangman only for a cameraman to choke Moxley from behind with a camera cable. The cameraman is revealed to be Orange Cassidy, and he and Hangman fend off the Death Riders (Moxley, Claudio, PAC, Yuta). Hangman is taken out, but Orange hits the Orange Punch on Yuta and PAC before confronting Moxley and doing the same to him. Switchblade then hits Moxley with Blade Runner, and Hangman gets on the apron to hit Moxley with the Buckshot Lariat. As Orange, Christian and Hangman stand tall in the ring, Christian Cage watches in the distance.
We hear from Jamie Hayter, who says that Julia Hart loves to play mind games and that this does not work for her. She says she is more "face-to-face," then says she is here to right wrongs and settle scores, which has nothing to do with Julia Hart. Jamie says she was on the cusp of something great until it was taken away from here, then says that the International Women's Cup means a lot to her and that she plans to take it all the way. Jamie says she will fight any time, any place, but she cannot fight what she cannot see, so she will find Julia and leave her lying on the mat, with herself being the last thing Julia sees.
We hear from "The Learning" Chris Jericho, who announces about the shows on the weekend before Christmas breaking news style before stating that he will give more information on who he will defend the Ring of Honor World Championship tomorrow night on Ring of Honor Wrestling.
We see a vignette for Bandido.
We look back on the events leading up to Anna Jay vs. Penelope Ford tonight.
Anna Jay beats Penelope Ford. After the match, Anna Jay calls out Mercedes Moné, who shows up and says that if Kris Statlander could not beat her for the TBS Championship, then not even Anna Jay could stand a chance. She says that "The Glamour" Mariah May may have kicked Anna in the head a little too hard, but admits that she likes Anna's confidence and tells her to come back in ten years before facing her. Anna slaps her, and Mercedes teases a brawl before leaving.
In footage from earlier today, Renee Paquette interviews "The Glamour" Mariah May. Mariah says she does not owe anybody any questions, and as long as she is World Champion, what she does is the right thing to do. She says that giving Mina Shirakawa a title shot is the best idea, then says that she will make her work while she is int hering. As this goes on, Mina Shirakawa storms in, hands a champagne bottle to Mariah, and says "Do it to my face. Winter Is Coming...make me work!"
Claudio Castagnoli beats Brody King via pinfall in the Gold League of the Continental Classic via pinfall after raking Brody King in the eyes as he goes for the Gonzo Bomb, hits Brody with a low blow as the referee scolds Castagnoli for the eye rake - which keeps the referee from seeing said low blow - and hitting the Neutralizer for the pin and the win. Claudio Castagnoli earns three points and leads the Gold League with six points, while Brody King still has three points.
Here are the highlights from tonight's show!
