Jon Moxley vs Kyle O’Reilly
The main event of the night saw Casino Battle Royale winner Kyle O’Reilly take on Jon Moxley. This was a high stakes encounter with a shot at the interim AEW world title on the line. The match lived up to its billing as there was nothing to separate Moxley and O’Reilly. As the match progressed, both the wrestlers traded devastating blows. Moxley began to dominate the action in the latter half of the match and managed to lock O’Reilly in a submission hold.
Moxley finished off O’Reilly with the Paradigm Shift to win the match. He will now head to Forbidden Door event on June 26 to battle either Hiroshi Tanahashi or Hirooki Goto for the interim AEW world title.
