He followed up with a back heel trip and a top wrist lock, but Cage found relief by placing his foot on the bottom rope.

Cage’s frustration led to him spitting at Allin, who responded with a deep arm drag and an arm-bar. The two engaged in a Wrist Lock Exchange before Allin executed two headlock takedowns. Cage retaliated with heavy body shots, a back elbow smash, and two knife-edge chops. The match grew more intense as Cage unleashed haymakers and even resorted to choking Allin with his boot. Cage took a moment to flex his muscles, but his dominance was short-lived as Allin countered with a Sunset Flip, securing the first pinfall of the match.

Christian Cage took a breather on the outside, but his cockiness got the better of him as he scored a cheap shot in the corner. He continued with two vicious right hands and further choked Allin. Cage even fish-hooked Allin and stood on the back of his neck. The relentless assault continued as Cage repeatedly kicked Allin in the face, punched him in the back, and raked his eyes. Cage then applied the cravate and landed a straight right hand.

However, Allin managed to turn the tide by sending Cage over the top rope and subsequently hitting The CodeRed for a near fall. Allin showcased his high-flying abilities with a SpringBoard Coffin Drop and a Rolling Crucifix, each earning him a two-count. Cage wasn’t one to back down, tossing Allin around the ringside area and repositioning the steel ring steps.

Cage took advantage of his surroundings by executing a Death Valley Driver into the ring steps, ultimately tying the score at 1-1 since Allin was unable to make it back into the ring in time. Medical personnel attended to Allin outside the ring, and Cage decided to remove the padding inside the ring. As Allin was placed on a stretcher, Cage shocked everyone with a Frog Splash onto the stretcher, prompting the referee to intervene. Cage then rolled Allin back into the ring and connected with The KillSwitch on the exposed boards, but Allin miraculously kicked out at two.

With a Scorpion Death Lock applied, Allin reached the bottom rope for a rope break, showing his resilience. He fought back with a palm strike, eye rake, and The Scorpion Death Drop. Allin followed it up with another Coffin Drop for a near fall. Cage, however, had other plans, sweeping Allin’s legs while perched on the top turnbuckle. He continued his assault with clubbing blows to Allin’s back and a Sunset Flip PowerBomb onto the exposed boards.

In an unexpected turn of events, Cage accidentally speared the referee and resorted to a low blow against Allin. Nick Wayne, an unexpected presence, handed Cage the TNT Title. Cage pleaded for mercy, but Wayne struck Allin with the title, allowing Cage to secure the victory

Winner: Christian Cage retained his AEW TNT Championship with a 2-1 score.

Match Ratings: A++

After the match, Christian Cage and Nick Wayne joined forces to attack Darby Allin, but Sting intervened. Sting unleashed a back fist on Wayne and engaged in a brawl with Cage. Despite the odds stacked against him, Sting persevered until Adam Copeland (f.k.a Edge in WWE), making his AEW debut, came to his aid. Copeland unleashed two Spears and stood tall alongside Sting and Allin, closing the show on a triumphant note.
