It’s the go home show for Grand Slam, which is going to be a big deal as the company goes down to Australia. In this case, we’re taped for a change and that could make for an interesting show. There are two title matches, including the Trios Titles being on the line for the first time in months. Let’s get to it.

We get an opening featuring some people on the card with no audio.

Here is Max Caster for his latest open challenge.

Max Caster vs. Hangman Page

Caster bails to the crowd to start but comes back in to snap off a hurricanrana. Page pops up and drops Caster, setting up the Buckshot Lariat for the pin at 1:11.

Result: Hangman Page b. Max Caster – Buckshot Lariat (1:11)

Video on Ricochet stealing Prince Nana’s robe last week, with Nana saying Swerve Strickland doesn’t need to make everything personal. Swerve points out what happened when he let Hangman Page get away with making things personal.

Trios Titles: Undisputed Kingdom vs. Death Riders

The Death Riders are defending and believe it or not, we start with a brawl on the floor. We take a break about thirty seconds in and come back with O’Reilly in trouble. The champs take turns striking away in the corner, with Castagnoli grabbing a sleeper. O’Reilly fights out of that and brings in Strong to clean house with a series of backbreakers.

Everything breaks down and it’s back to Strong, who is stomped down in the corner again. A Hart Attack gets two and Pac grinds away on a headlock for a bit. Triple running elbows hit Strong in the corner and we take another break. Back again with Strong fighting off Yuta and bringing Cole in to clean house.

Pac gets superkicked out of the air and some triple strikes put Yuta down for two. Everything breaks down and the Fastball Special is broken up. High/Low hits Yuta for two but Castagnoli Swings Strong into the barricade. The referee intercepts a chair but Yuta goes low and small packages Strong to retain at 17:12.

Result: Death Riders b. Undisputed Kingdom – Small package to Strong (17:12)

Post match the beatdown is on again but Matt Menard, Daniel Garcia and Angelo Parker make the save.

Cope and Jay White steal the briefcase from Marina Shafir. Jon Moxley isn’t pleased.

Grand Slam rundown.

MJF is ready for Dustin Rhodes but Hangman Page cuts him off, saying this is his interview. MJF isn’t impressed and says this isn’t the real Page. These people deserve an apology and MJF is going to beat Dustin and get a step closer to getting the World Title back. Unlike Page.

Katsuyori Shibata/Hook/Samoa Joe vs. Jon Cruz/Rosario Grillo/Aaron Solo

Joe beats them up, Hook gets in a suplex, Shibata chops a lot, Cruz thinks forearming Joe is a good idea, the MuscleBuster finishes Cruz at 1:41.

Result: Katsuyori Shibata/Hook/Samoa Joe b. Jon Cruz/Rosario Grillo/Aaron Solo – MuscleBuster to Cruz (1:41)

Post match Joe talks about how they always have problems and their solution is always beating people up. That brings him to Christian Cage and the Patriarchy and the challenge is on, with the team being named the Ops (?).

Chris Jericho challenges Bandido to a duel.

Marina Shafir jumps Willow Nightingale and Jon Moxley makes threats.

Here is Chris Jericho for the duel with Bandido and for once, he’s alone. Cue Bandido and they go back to back for the ten paces. Then the Learning Tree runs in for the beatdown, only for the Outrunners to make the save. Big Bill goes to collect the bounty but Powerhouse Hobbs comes in for the spinebuster to put Bill down. Bandido does in fact get his hat back.

Dustin Rhodes is ready to take out MJF. B****.

Maxwell Jacob Friedman vs. Dustin Rhodes

They go nose to nose to start. Dustin snaps off the powerslam and MJF bails to the floor, where he snaps Dustin’s arm across the top. Back in and we hit the rather logical armbar before Dustin’s sunset flip attempt is easily cut off with another snap of the arm. Dustin fights up and manages a powerbomb but needs a breather because of the arm.

A boot to the head lets Dustin hammer away in the corner and there’s the bulldog to drop MJF again. Cross Rhodes gives Dustin two and MJF’s piledriver gets the same, with the latter looking stunned. With nothing else working, MJF grabs a chair for some Pillmanizing but Dustin reverses it into Shattered Dreams. The Final Reckoning gets two and MJF cranks the arm again. MJF hits his own Final Reckoning for his own two before grabbing the Salt Of The Earth. That’s switched into a crossface and Dustin is out at 11:15.

Result: Maxwell Jacob Friedman b. Dustin Rhodes via referee stoppage (11:15)

Post match MJF grabs the Salt Of The Earth again but Hangman Page makes the save. The brawl is on and security can’t break it up so they head into the crowd. Security finally separates them and MJF poses, because of course. MJF gets back in the ring and calls out Page…who gets back in the ring to keep up the brawl.

Video on Grand Slam.

Post break, we look at what we just saw.

Megan Bayne vs. Maya World

Bayne drives her into the corner to start and snaps off an overhead belly to belly. Some shoulders to the ribs in the corner have World in more trouble and an F5 finishes for Bayne at 1:55.

Result: Megan Bayne b. Maya World – F5 (1:55)

Kris Statlander vs. Penelope Ford

Statlander and Bayne have a staredown during Statlander’s entrance. Ford begging off in the corner to start doesn’t work so well for her as Statlander grabs a headlock. Statlander powers out of a headscissors so Ford licks her cheek. It seems to work as Statlander misses a charge into the corner, only for a basement dropkick to drop Ford.

We take a break and come back with Ford grabbing a neckbreaker out of the corner for two. Statlander German suplexes her for the same but Ford snaps off a poisonrana. That’s enough for Statlander though, who comes back with the Wednesday Night Fever for the pin at 9:17.

Result: Kris Statlander b. Penelope Ford – Wednesday Night Fever (9:17)

Post match Megan Bayne comes back out to F5 Statlander on the floor.

We get a Harley Cameron music video (yes with the puppet) mocking Mercedes Mone. Then we cut to Cameron being rather serious and talking about how she is glad Mone pushed her to becoming better. Now it’s time for her to win the TBS Title in her home country.

Tag Team Titles: Hurt Syndicate vs. The Gunns

The Syndicate is defending and the fans chant for MVP, who is here with the champions. Lashley shoulders Colten down to start and it’s off to Austin, who wants to think about this. Austin gets tossed outside for a beating from Benjamin and we take an early break. Back with Benjamin working on Austin’s arm but a neckbreaker gives Austin a breather.

Lashley isn’t about to give up a tag and cuts Austin off, only for Austin to dive over him for the tag off to Colten. Benjamin grabs the ankle lock but Austin makes the fast save. The Fameasser gets two on Benjamin, who is right back up with a superkick. Lashley comes back in with a spinebuster and the spear for the pin at 11:09.

Result: Hurt Syndicate b. The Gunns – Spear to Austin (11:09)

Post match Brian Cage and Lance Archer come out for the staredown.

Mariah May is ready to take out Toni Storm, who is nothing without her. Storm is going down, and it’s going to be a mercy killing.

Here are Jay White and Cope with the briefcase. Cope teases opening the briefcase but busts out his 2×4 with nails (Spike), threatening the briefcase unless Moxley gets out here. Cue Moxley with the Death Riders, who talks about how Cope has no idea how much the title means to him. Moxley threatens to break Cope’s neck and gives him the title match at Revolution. Cope crushes the briefcase with Spike as White cuts off Wheeler Yuta. Pac’s distraction lets Marina Shafir get the briefcase but Cope and White take them out to end the show.
