ZOHASH.COM EXCLUSIVE: All Elite Wrestling Delivers Thrilling Show at The Kia Forum

November 18th, 2023 - Los Angeles, California, USA

In a night filled with high-flying action and intense rivalry, All Elite Wrestling brought the house down at The Kia Forum in Los Angeles. The sold-out crowd was treated to three electrifying matches that showcased the best of what AEW has to offer.

ROH World Title Match: Eddie Kingston vs Jay Lethal

The main event of the evening saw ROH World Champion Eddie Kingston put his title on the line against the challenger, Jay Lethal. In a hard-hitting contest that had both men giving it their all, Kingston emerged victorious after a thunderous Backfist to the Future at 10:53.

Kingston's technical grappling skills were on full display as he took Lethal apart with a series of armbars and suplexes. However, Lethal refused to back down, countering with a series of vicious lariats that left Kingston reeling. The champion's quickness ultimately proved to be the difference-maker, as he caught Lethal off guard with the aforementioned Backfist to secure the win.

Singles Match: Claudio Castagnoli vs Buddy Matthews

The Swiss Destroyer, Claudio Castagnoli, looked to continue his winning streak against the enigmatic Buddy Matthews. In a contest that saw both men exchange holds and near-falls, Castagnoli came out on top after a picture-perfect Ricola Bomb at 10:28.

Matthews' unorthodox style kept Castagnoli guessing throughout, but the Swiss grappler's superior strength ultimately gave him the edge he needed to secure the victory. The match was marked by a series of near-falls, including one particularly impressive sequence where Matthews executed a pair of consecutive arm drags that sent Castagnoli crashing to the mat.

ROH World Tag Team Title Match: MJF and Samoa Joe vs The Gunns

In a thrilling tag team affair, MJF and his partner Samoa Joe looked to dethrone the reigning ROH World Tag Team Champions, The Gunns (Austin Gunn and Colten Gunn). In a match that saw both teams trade near-falls and high-impact moves, MJF and Joe emerged victorious after a crushing Goodnight Express at 9:26.

The Gunns' aerial attacks were matched by MJF's cunning submission attempts, with the latter ultimately proving to be the deciding factor. A series of quick tags between MJF and Joe allowed them to neutralize The Gunns' offense, setting the stage for the decisive blow that sent the crowd into a frenzy.

FINAL THOUGHTS

All Elite Wrestling once again proved why they are one of the top promotions in the world, delivering an electric show that had something for everyone. With three matches that showcased a mix of technical grappling, high-flying action, and intense rivalry, this was a night that fans will be talking about for weeks to come.
