Both teams make their way out to the ring, and The Besties are doing their normal schtick, dancing and singing to Savage Garden, but Something and Stallion have other plans in mind. They attack the champs from behind during their entrance, and then Stallion Irish whips both men into Something who just bulldozes brutally demolishing the champs.
They don’t stop there as both men are relentless and choking Vega & Fitchett until Vega reverses an Irish whip on Stallion and is able to hit a suicide dive on him. Something picks up Fitchett and military presses him onto outside onto Stallion and Vega. What happened next was incredible, especially for a man of his size as Something proceeded to do a running dive over the top onto all three men. This guy is showing some serious skills and it was really something (pun intended). The guy is getting more over every time, and the crowd loves to yell “SOMETHING!”
Fitchett was able to tag in Vega who hit a splash and then a cross body onto Stallion. Something comes in a turns Vega inside out with a clothesline and as he plays plays to the crowd, Fitchett takes the opportunity to hit a reverse hurricanrana.

HERITAGE RUMBLE – WINNER GETS A FUTURE SHOT AT THE AAW HERITAGE CHAMPIONSHIP
Royal Rumble Rules: Two men start the match, a new wrestler enters the ring every 90 seconds. To be eliminated, you must go over the top rope and both feet must hit the floor.
There was a lot of action to call, but the story going into this was MJF looking to trade his number for another, offering “an opportunity”.

Final two were Paco and MJF. MJF spent much of the match on the outside, and most of the eliminations he spent by the announcer, making fun of each man as they were eliminated. Paco and MJF started to trade right hands but MJF spits at Paco and then poked him in the eye.
Pack took advantage with a surprise superkick and then hit an amazing flip powerbomb onto MJF. MJF is dazed and Paco took the opportunity to throw MJF over the top, but MJF hangs on, trying to skin the cat, but Paco sees it and superkicks MJF from behind to send him flying and securing the victory for everyone’s favorite underdog, PACO.
Winner: PACO
AAW CHAMPIONSHIP : ACH (c) vs. KEITH LEE
My phone died for note taking during this match, but it is one that is worth buying the DVD for (or hopefully they play it soon on their new Twitch channel).
ACH took a BEATDOWN from Keith Lee much of the match, and the crowd was split pretty 50/50 with chants of Keith Lee, and ACH. ACH showed moments of resilience and at times just turned into a beast, German Suplexing Lee, hitting a great Frog Splash, and picking up Lee for a Brainbuster (AND ACTUALLY HOLDING HIM THERE FOR A SECOND) before dropping on his head to pick up the victory.
Winner and STILL AAW Champion: ACH
After the match, Lee got on the mic to show his respect. He said that ACH is one of the only ones that he can call family in this business as the two have grown up together. He said he put everything into the match and truly tested ACH and failed, and he is proud of ACH for that. He said that tonight ACH truly broke his limits and mastered Ultra Instinct.
