Kris Statlander has a bone to pick with Red Velvet, someone who once upon a time was a close friend and ally. However, Velvet would join up with Jade Cargill and now is firmly on the heel side of things. Tonight, in a rematch from the Owen Hart Memorial Cup – Velvet looks to show that not only has she thrown Statlander aside, but also surpassed her in the ring.
Kris Statlander Gets Another Win Over Red Velvet
Velvet tried to get the jump on Statlander before the bell, only to take the snap powerslam. She’d get press slammed into the ring, before being sent back outside with a running knee strike. Two heavy elbow strikes on the floor would follow, before Velvet tried a rear naked choke.
Statlander climbed the ring before whipping Velvet back to the floor. Flying crossbody would miss, but Statlander would set up the delayed vertical Suplex. Velvet slipped out and hit the chopblock, before a low angle dragon screw leg whip. A backstabber would add to the punishment, and a leg lariat kept Statlander on the defensive.
An exchange of forearm smashes would see Statlander move into a backbreaker. A slam into the corner would set up some shoulder tackles and chops, before the Blue Thunder Bomb got the near fall. Velvet would get a near fall off a Victory Roll, before Statlander hit the Chaos Theory suplex and spin out driver for the near fall.
Statlander would hit the cutter out of the corner before the Just Desserts kick to the face. Velvet would manage to only get a two count, before Corkscrew Kick would be caught. Night Fever would land, and Statlander gets the victory. Keira Hogan attacked after the bell, setting up the Pump Kick from Jade. Anna Jay & Athena would make the save, setting up the Trio’s match even further.
United Empire Targets Trent Beretta
FTR & Trent Beretta have a bone to pick with NJPW’s United Empire, after their ROH World Tag Team Championship match was crashed by Great-O-Khan and Jeff Cobb. Now, Aussie Open & Will Ospreay are here ahead of Forbidden Door, and will make their trios debut in AEW. We know how good of a tag team FTR is, and how high Trent can soar in singles – but they’re still underdogs today.
Harwood & Ospreay would start, before Harwood came out on top of a sprawl. Heavy chops would follow, with Ospreay having his knees buckled. Wheeler tagged in and hit the rushing shoulder tackle, before an arm drag landed. Fletcher & Davis would gain control of the match with Davis throwing his weight around.
Trent would tag in, before Davis would look for a Samoan Drop. Ospreay would get the tag, before Trent spiked him with a DDT. Aussie Open rushed the ring, before FTR beat down down – before Trent hit the moonsault to the floor. Back in the ring, United Empire would get a three on one attack on Trent with a super dropkick, but only managed a two count.

Davis hit a running senton after the tag, before attacking FTR on the apron, but Fletcher missed the dropkick in the corner.
