The Young Bucks beat Jon Moxley and Will Ospreay in tag team action. The Death Riders’ varying killer instincts—in addition to a crucial mistake—cost them the match.
In one of the few definable storylines on AEW television, inevitable AEW world champion Will Ospreay has been converted to a Death Rider by Jon Moxley, a no-nonsense heel intent on bringing out the best (and worst) in Will Ospreay. This was similar to his tough-love mission statement with the entire AEW brand, which ended in Hangman Adam Page’s win over Moxley at AEW All In 2025. The storyline is also similar to Ospreay’s “can they coexist” story with Kenny Omega. Fittingly the match saw a miscue where Ospreay accidentally took out Mox with a flying forearm.
The story of the match was Nick Jackson suffering a (kayfabe) head injury early in the match, only for Moxley to encourage Ospreay to take advantage of his ailing friend. In the end, Ospreay couldn’t pull the trigger and it cost them.
