ALL ELITE WRESTLING LIVE FROM SILVERSTEIN EYE CENTERS ARENA IN INDEPENDENCE, MISSOURI
February 26, 2020 - The All Elite Wrestling (AEW) train kept on rolling tonight in Independence, Missouri as the Silverstein Eye Centers Arena played host to a stacked card that featured some of the promotion's top talent. And let me tell you, folks, this was an event for the ages.
Match #1: Kenny Omega vs. PAC - 30 Minute Iron Man Match
The night got off to a blistering start with one of the most anticipated matches in recent memory. Kenny Omega, the reigning AEW Champion, put his title on the line against the high-flying, hard-hitting PAC in a thrilling 30-minute Iron Man contest.
In what was an incredibly paced match, both men traded near-falls and high-impact moves throughout the duration. PAC's aerial assault was matched by Omega's technical grappling prowess, resulting in a truly back-and-forth bout.
As the clock ticked down, it seemed like either man could emerge victorious at any moment. But in the end, Kenny Omega's superior conditioning paid off as he scored the deciding point with just 2:02 remaining on the timer, securing a hard-fought win and retaining his championship belt.
Match #2: The Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy, Luchasaurus, and Marko Stunt) vs. The Inner Circle (Ortiz, Sammy Guevara, and Santana) - Six-Man Tag Team Match
In the opening bout of the night, AEW's resident babyface trio, The Jurassic Express, put their collective might up against The Inner Circle, a group known for their brutal tactics.
This one was all about high-flying action as Jungle Boy, Luchasaurus, and Marko Stunt took turns connecting with impressive aerials. Meanwhile, Ortiz, Sammy Guevara, and Santana used their cunning and experience to try and outmaneuver the trio.
The pace of this match was frantic, with both teams trading moves and near-falls in a frenetic display. In the end, The Jurassic Express emerged victorious, pinning Santana after a devastating combination from Luchasaurus.
Match #3: Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent) vs. The Butcher And The Blade (The Blade and The Butcher) - Tag Team Match
In what was a stark contrast to the opener, this tag team contest featured two teams focused on technical grappling and hard-hitting strikes.
Best Friends, the fan-favorite duo, used their quickness and agility to evade the powerful attacks of The Butcher And The Blade. Meanwhile, Chuck Taylor and Trent showcased their impressive chemistry as they worked together to take down their opponents.
The match was a masterclass in tag team wrestling, with both teams displaying excellent teamwork and execution. In the end, Best Friends emerged victorious, submitting The Butcher after a devastating combination of moves from Trent.
Match #4: Hikaru Shida vs. Big Swole, Shanna, and Yuka Sakazaki - Four-Way Match
The night concluded with an intriguing four-way contest featuring three of AEW's top female competitors in Hikaru Shida, Big Swole, Shanna, and Yuka Sakazaki.
This one was all about high-energy action as each woman took turns showcasing their impressive movesets. From Shida's technical grappling to Big Swole's powerhouse offense, there was no shortage of excitement on display.
In the end, Hikaru Shida emerged victorious, pinning Shanna after a devastating knee strike. This result further solidifies her position as one of AEW's top female stars.
