Zero Hour Pre-Show Highlights

CRU & Nick Wayne def. Top Flight & AR Fox
The Patriarchy picked up steam with a hard-fought victory, despite interference attempts from Kip Sabian. AR Fox had the crowd on fire with a sequence of high-octane offense, but Nick Wayne sealed the deal with a brutal Wayne’s World to grab the win for his team.

Anthony Bowens def. Max Caster – Max Caster Best Wrestler Alive Open Challenge
Max Casters former The Acclaimed tag team partner Anthony Bowens with “Daddy Ass” Billy Gunn answered the challenge. After swiping Caster’s “Best Wrestler Alive” moniker, Bowens leveled him with a Famouser for the win.

Main Card Results

Will Ospreay def. Kevin Knight – Owen Hart Cup Quarterfinal (Men’s)
Ospreay and Knight tore it down in a fast-paced opening bout. Knight gave Ospreay everything he could handle, but a late surge by “The Aerial Assassin” — including a Styles Clash, Os Cutter, and finally the Hidden Blade — punched Ospreay’s ticket to the semis.

The Hurt Syndicate (c) def. Bryan Keith & Big Bill – AEW World Tag Team Titles
Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin retained their titles with help from MJF, who made a surprise appearance in the crowd, hits Big Bill with a forearm and led the fans cheering for The Hurt Syndicate. A spear by Lashley on Keith sealed the victory as The Hurt Syndicate continues to dominate the tag division.

Mercedes Moné def. Julia Hart – Owen Hart Cup Quarterfinal (Women’s)
Moné survived Julia Hart’s aggressive offense and multiple pinfall attempts. After escaping the Hartless submission, Moné locked in the Statement Maker for the decisive win. Harley Cameron was shown scouting from backstage.

The Death Riders (c) def. Rated FTR – AEW Trios Championship
A hard-hitting war ended in heartbreak — not just defeat — for Cope and FTR. After an epic bout featuring tandem submissions and aerial chaos, Wheeler Yuta scored the pinfall with a Busaiku Knee. Post-match, Dax Harwood shockingly turned on Cope, delivering a piledriver and ordering a brutal chair assault. Wheeler initially tried to stop him but eventually joined in. FTR hit a Shatter Machine and Con-Chair-To, leaving Cope stretchered out.

Toni Storm (c) def. Megan Bayne – AEW Women’s World Championship
Storm retained in a physically intense contest that saw interference from both Penelope Ford and Luther. After weathering Bayne’s powerhouse offense, Storm countered with a roll-up to escape with her title intact.

Kyle Fletcher def. Mark Briscoe – Owen Hart Cup Quarterfinal (Men’s)
Briscoe’s brawling spirit was alive and well, but Fletcher’s resilience and technical edge earned him the win. Despite absorbing a Razor’s Edge and elbow drop, Fletcher powered through and connected with a Brainbuster to advance.

Bandido def. Chris Jericho – ROH World Championship (Title vs. Mask)
Bandido is your new Ring of Honor World Champion — but only after the match had to be restarted due to Jericho’s underhanded tactics. After a bat-assisted pinfall, the referee reversed the decision, and Bandido capitalized on the chaos, landing a 21 Plex to score the three-count. Jericho’s mask-snatching plan backfired big time.

Adam Cole def. Daniel Garcia – TNT Championship
With ringside banned, this was a straight-up fight. Cole’s knee was targeted early, but he dug deep and landed two Panama Sunrises and The Boom to capture the TNT Title. Post-match, a show of respect between the two.

Kenny Omega (c) def. Speedball Mike Bailey & Ricochet – AEW International Championship
In a show-stealing triple threat, Omega outlasted two of wrestling’s most explosive strikers. After a relentless flurry of dives, suplexes, and 450 splashes, Omega hit a One Winged Angel on Ricochet from the middle rope to retain. Post-match, Kazuchika Okada emerged, Continental Title in hand, confronting Omega and teasing a dream title vs. title clash.

Main Event: Jon Moxley (c) def. Swerve Strickland – AEW World Championship

This brutal affair between Moxley and Swerve Strickland lived up to the hype — and chaos. From fighting on the steps to a ladder-assisted meteora through the announce table, both men pulled out all the stops. Just as Swerve seemed to have Mox beat with a top-rope Swerve Stomp, the lights cut out — and The Young Bucks appeared, landing a BTE Trigger on Strickland. Moxley crawled into the cover to retain.
