Orange Cassidy (c) vs Johnny TV (w/ QTV)

Jericho on commentary says the Jericho Appreciation Society is taking a sabbatical. He’s called all of them and he’s sure they’ll get back to him soon.

TV tries to go for Cassidy’s legs and Cassidy simply puts his hands in his pockets. TV tries again Cassidy slowly dodges before he starts with an arm drag on TV. They run the ropes and Cassidy is able to kick TV out of the ring. TV meets with the whole QTV crew to regroup. Harley gets on the apron to distract the ref and the QTV crew get on the apron.

Cassidy backs into the ref as they all get in the ring, and he turns the ref around so he can see them there. And they are OUTTA HERE as the ref orders them to the back.

After the match:
Yuta says he is going to get a closer look and heads to the ring. Cassidy grabs a mic and asks what is taking Yuta so long to get the ring. He tells him to get to the ring so he can punch his face in. As Yuta comes to the ring, Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli show up and they all surround the ring. Yuta grabs a mic and says they could make sure he leaves in an ambulance. He says it would be a waste of time, he wants to hurt him emotionally and take the only thing he cares about, so next week, he wants the AEW International title.

Match to qualify for the women’s title match at All In
Saraya (w/Toni Storm and Ruby Soho) vs Skye Blue

Skye Blue comes to the ring alone because all of the women babyfaces are morons.

They lock up and Blue forces Saraya into the ropes for the break. They lock up again and Sky backs Saraya into the corner where she breaks clean and Saraya pie faces her. Blue gets a pair of quick two counts and then they trade roll ups until they break. Blue gets a body press for two and then a flying cross body for two.
