Live from: E Sports Arena, Arlington, Texas
Commentators: Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuiness
We see footage from the AEW x Adult Swim: Battle For The Booty show and then Johnny TV comes out accompanied by Taya Valkyrie. The two head to the ring together to a ton of boos. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with our first match of the evening.
Johnny TV leaves his sunglasses on for the early action. Cassidy ends up taking them off and putting them on himself. He puts his hands in his pockets and does the wimpy kick routine, and continues to out-wrestle Johnny TV without any hands for a couple of moments.
The action spills out to the floor, where Valkyrie gets involved, resulting in Johnny TV taking over control of the offense. The match resumes inside the ring with Johnny TV in a comfortable offensive lead. The fans rally behind Cassidy with “Freshly Squeezed” chants.
Cassidy starts to come to life, hitting a Stun-Dog Millionaire and a tornado DDT for a close two-count. Cassidy takes the pad off of his arm and sets up for the Orange Punch, but Johnny TV counters with a swinging neck-breaker. He goes for Starship Pain, but Cassidy avoids it.
We see Cassidy try for a DDT off the top-rope but Johnny TV once again counters with a swinging neck-breaker. He hops on the ropes and goes for Starship Pain again, and this time he connects. He goes for the cover, but only gets two. Fans roar wiith “Freshly Squeezed” chants again.
Orange Cassidy comes to life once again, and hits a Beach Break, which he immediately follows up with his trademark Orange Punch finisher. He goes for the cover and gets the three-count for the victory in a pretty basic opening contest to set the tone for tonight’s double-header.
After the match, Valkyrie hits the ring for some cheap shots on Cassidy. She stops dead in her tracks upon hearing the familiar sounds of Willow Nightingale’s theme music. Out comes the CMLL Women’s World Champion to run off Valkyrie and Johnny TV.
Winner: Orange Cassidy
