Eddie Kingston thought that AEW Revolution was the big one. He met Chris Jericho in the opening match, and tapped him out clean with the Stretch Plum. However, this loss would simply send Chris Jericho off the deep end. Suddenly, Jericho would break up The Inner Circle to form the Jericho Appreciation Society, and wage war on Eddie Kingston, Santana & Ortiz.
He’s even started throwing fireballs at people and calling himself a wizard. However tonight, he better trust in his new allies – because Eddie Kingston, Santana, Ortiz, and two members of Blackpool Combat Club with Jon Moxley & Bryan Danielson are all here.
It’s Anarchy In The Arena, and this is going to be a dangerous fight for sure. Justin Roberts said it best, shits about to hit the fan. There’s no rules, ten men, and a lot of violence to come.
Anarchy In The Arena Lives Up To The Hype
This all out brawl would start in the middle of the ring, while Wild Thing still blasting on the speakers. Kingston went after Jericho, Moxley after Mernard, Parker with Danielson , and who knows where the other four went. Wild Thing looped through and restarted, as Moxley stabbed Menard with a fork.
Kingston had blood on him, origin – forehead of Matt Menard. Moxley choked Jericho on a scooter, while Santana & Ortiz hit a double suplex on Hager. Ortiz got a near fall, and Wild Thing stopped when the soundboard was pulled out by Jericho. The crowd was upset, but the crazy brawl continued.

Eddie Kingston grabbed a jerry can, and doused Jericho. Danielson stopped him from lighting Jericho on fire, and Moxley would try to be the voice of reason. He was sent into the barbed wire board, as Jericho & Hager took control. Danielson was spiked with the turnbuckle, yet still kicked out.
He’d fight back, taking on two men while caked in blood, hitting a running knee strike with the steel chair for a near fall. Danielson called to kick a head in, before taking a bat to the knee. Liontamer was applied while Danielson was strangled by Hager – and this was a stoppage.
All Out Tag Team Warfare

They’ve beaten any top team who has stepped up to them, but tonight have to contend with two teams reaching title shots in the tag team division for the first time ever.
