All Elite Wrestling Delivers Thrilling Night of Action in Charlotte

January 6th, 2024 - Bojangles Coliseum, Charlotte, North Carolina, USA

Live on TV, All Elite Wrestling brought the heat to the Queen City, as a packed house of 3,802 fans bore witness to an electric evening of professional wrestling. The stacked card featured a mix of title matches, grudge bouts, and high-flying action, with something for every fan in attendance.

The evening kicked off with a bang, as Darby Allin and the legendary Sting took on The WorkHorsemen (Anthony Henry and JD Drake) in a tag team matchup. The unlikely duo of Allin and Sting proved to be too much for their opponents, securing the win in 2:52 via a devastating Crossroads.

The action continued with a NJPW STRONG Openweight Title match, as Eddie Kingston put his championship reign on the line against Trent Beretta. In a hard-hitting contest that lasted 15:13, Kingston's technical prowess ultimately gave way to Beretta's resilience, but the challenger fell short in his bid for gold.

Next up, The Undisputed Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) put their ROH World Tag Team Titles on the line against Bryan Keith and Komander in a Proving Ground match. In a swift 8:33 contest, the champions proved their mettle, dispatching their opponents with ease.

Adam Copeland made quick work of Griff Garrison in a singles bout, finishing him off with a thunderous neckbreaker in just 6:37. Skye Blue also found success on the night, defeating Kiera Hogan via pinfall after a beautiful shooting star press in 8:52.

In a shocking upset, Claudio Castagnoli dispatched Andrew Everett with a swift European uppercut in mere 3:14. The Swiss superstar's dominance was on full display as he asserted his superiority over his foe.

The main event of the evening saw FTR (Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood) face off against The House Of Black (Buddy Matthews and Malakai Black). In a thrilling contest that lasted an exhausting 21:32, the teams clashed in a war of attrition. Ultimately, it was FTR who emerged victorious, as they capitalized on Black's momentary lapse to secure the win.

As the dust settled, All Elite Wrestling had delivered a memorable night of professional wrestling, featuring a mix of high-stakes matches and thrilling action.
