Trios Title Retained but Post-Match Chaos Erupts
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly defended the AEW World Trios Championship against The Lethal Swirl and came out on top. But the win did not come cleanly. The Demand interfered after the match, and The Lethal Swirl then joined The Demand in a post-match beatdown on the champions, according to TPWW.
The attack signals growing heat between these factions heading into the coming weeks. Page, Bandido and King held the gold but left the arena under fire.
Continental Cup First Round Delivers Marquee Upsets
The Continental Cup first round produced three notable results. Kyle O'Reilly defeated Roderick Strong. Nigel McGuinness defeated Katsuyori Shibata. Hechicero defeated Brian Cage, per Slam Wrestling. Those three wins push O'Reilly, McGuinness and Hechicero into the next round of the tournament.
SI.com reported that Jay White and Jon Moxley also advanced to the second round of their respective matches. The Continental Cup bracket is quickly taking shape ahead of All In London.
Mercedes Moné Attacks Steel and Daniels, Willow Makes the Save
Mercedes Moné defeated Zayda Steel in singles action. But Moné did not stop there. She attacked Steel after the match and then turned her sights on Christopher Daniels, according to WrestleTalk. The beatdown continued until Willow Nightingale ran out to make the save.
The angle adds fuel to what looks like an ongoing feud between Moné and Nightingale. Daniels' involvement suggests a broader storyline building around Moné's aggression toward AEW personnel.
Full Card Rounds Out with Tag and Faction Matches
Lio Rush and The Rascalz beat Jeaux Braxton, Ice Williams, Frescomatic and Watson in a multi-person tag match. The Hurt Syndicate teamed with Shane Taylor and Lee Moriarty to defeat Sonico, Willie Montana, RO Montana and Jake Redondo, per eWrestling.
Divine Dominion also picked up a win over Mazzerati and Rachelle Riveter. The Brawling Birds then attacked after the match, per TPWW. The taping packed a full night of action across multiple divisions ahead of the August 15 broadcast.
