When we get back we see the Best Friends arrive in Trent’s mom’s mini van. I don’t care if it’s dorky, I think that sort of thing is funny as long as no one’s mom is on a pole.

Tonight, our main event is Darby Allen vs Jon Moxley, and we get a backstage promo from Jon Moxley. He struggled with demons when he was younger, and people would try to talk him out of things. IN some cases, he should have listened, and in some, he woudln’t change a thing. He gets why Darby challenged him. But now he is the voice of reason, because he is worried about Darby’s health. He doesn’t want to be known as the man who ended Darby’s career, but he’s gotta do what he’s gotta do. He tells Darby that when it’s time to stay down, just stay down.

We get a rundown of the rest of the show and then we see Santana and Ortiz are on their way to the ring. They are followed by the Best Friends.

MJF is leading in the polls. Polls? Huh? MJF says the campaign isn’t over until he has the title. Someone asks what will happen if Darby wins tonight.

“You mean the 125 pound emo kid? Yeah, it would suck to wrestle him,” is MJF’s response.

We go the ring where Matt Hardy has a mic.

He says he wanted to wrestle somewhere where he was respected. He can introduce the AEW fans to the Matt Hardy Multiverse. However, he listens to his audience, and they want to see him focus on being Matt Hardy. Off screen, he wants to give back such as helping Private Party. He also tried to help Sammy Guevara, but Sammy doesn’t want his help. The first time Matt showed, Sammy snuck out from under the ring to attack him, so Matt returned the favor. If Sammy doesn’t want help, he’ll get hurt.

Sammy rushes the ring, Matt says “Sammy, I knew you’d come” and they brawl. Matt gets the better of Sammy, lays him out outside the ring. Matt sets up a table and they fight again, and Matt goes into the ring post and is laid out on the table. Sammy hits Matt in the face with a steel chair, but Matt goes a hand up to protect himself.

Coming to the ring at this time is Sammy Guevara with his cue cards. We’ll see them on the small screen through the commercial. The notes mock Orange Cassidy and put over Jericho. And we get the Master Debater pun. Thankfully, that’s when the small screen goes away.

We come back to Debate graphics direct from the CNN team.

Tony Schiavone has seen a nightmare as the guest moderator, Eric Bischoff and his spray tan come out to be the moderator. He welcomes us to the debate and the sound tonight has been sweetened more than I have heard outside of an old Scooby Doo cartoon.

First question: Why do Jericho and Cassidy hate each other so much?

Jericho makes fun of Cassidy for not dressing up and Cassidy puts on a clip on tie. Jericho says he hates him because he doesn’t take anything seriously. Everyone hates Cassidy and he finds him a joke. Cassidy responds by saying nothing.

Second question: Who is the better wrestler and who is the bigger star.

Jericho runs down all of his accomplishments, and says that Cassidy the only title he’s had has been named the biggest slacker, and Jericho would have beat him up, take his money and his girlfriend. Jericho is in a $10,000 jacket and Cassidy’s denim jacket smells like old salami, Drakkar Noir and batteries. Cassidy has no response.

Third question: A question about global warming.

Jericho says it has nothing to do with this situation. Cassidy grabs the microphone and advises us as to how the rising ocean levels is a serious danger.

Jericho goes off on Cassidy again. He says that next week, he will beat Cassidy, Cassidy will leave the bsuiensss get a job at Java Juice and Jericho won’t tip him.

Cassidy says nothing.

Last question: Why does this rematch mean so much to them.

Jericho starts to talk, and Cassidy tells him to shut up. Cassidy says he doesn’t care about the debate, but he does care about next week. He cuts a promo that cuts Jericho down and then says “that’s my answer.”

Bischoff says that Cassidy won the debate. Jericho says he never liked Bischoff, and Bischoff says he knows it.

Hager attacks Cassidy beat him up and then puts his hands in his pockets and tosses him into Jericho’s Judas Effect. The Best Friends come out to chase off Jericho and Hager and we go to commercial.
