AELITE EXTRAORDINAIRE: AEW Delivers Thrills and Spills at State Farm Center
Champaign, Illinois - The electric atmosphere at the State Farm Center was palpable as All Elite Wrestling (AEW) brought its brand of high-flying action to the heartland of America. Last night's live broadcast on TV proved that AEW is indeed the promotion that "All Elite" wrestling has been lacking.
The Night Begins with a Bang
Adam Page kicked things off against Tomohiro Ishii in a highly competitive singles match. The two grapplers traded moves, with Page showcasing his impressive striking ability and Ishii displaying his signature grappling prowess. In the end, it was Page's aerial assault that sealed the deal, as he connected with the "Rite of Passage" to secure the win (16:45).
The Women Take Center Stage
Jamie Hayter made a statement in her singles match against Harley Cameron. The feisty competitor from the UK dominated early on, working over Cameron's arm and showcasing her technical skillset. As the match wore on, Cameron began to mount a comeback, but Hayter was prepared. She delivered a vicious kick and followed it up with an impressive German suplex to earn the victory (3:06).
Eight-Man Tag Chaos Ensues
The main event featured a wild eight-man tag team match pitting Hook, Kyle O'Reilly, Mark Briscoe, and Orange Cassidy against Roderick Strong, Big Bill, Bryan Keith, and Chris Jericho. The action was fast-paced and frenetic, with all eight competitors getting in on the action. In the end, it was Hook's agility and the Conglomeration's sheer numbers advantage that allowed them to secure the win (16:31).
Ricochet Shines in High-Flying Affair
