The June 18th TV special featured a loaded card with a mix of high-stakes title matches, tournament action, and good old-fashioned grudge bouts. Let's dive in and dissect the action.

Match 1: MJF vs. Rush (Singles Match)

The main event may have stolen the show, but the opening contest between MJF and Rush set the tone for an electrifying evening.

This match showcased both competitors' exceptional skill sets, making it a must-watch encounter.

Match 2: Eight-Man Tag Team Match

A chaotic eight-man tag team bout featuring Dante Martin, Kyle O'Reilly, Mark Briscoe, and Orange Cassidy on one side, and Roderick Strong, The Don Callis Family (Danhausen, Lee Moriarty, and Parker Boudreaux), and Zack Sabre Jr. on the other, was a wild ride from start to finish. In the end, the foursome of tag team specialists emerged victorious at 16:41.

Match 3: AEW World Tag Team Title Eliminator Match - The Acclaimed (Anthony Bowens and Max Caster) vs. The Young Bucks

The stakes were high in this AEW World Tag Team Title Eliminator match, with the winners earning a future title shot.
