AEW TNT Championship: Jack Perry (c) vs. Katsuyori Shibata
Shibata was calm as a cucumber, no matter what Perry through at him. Shibata used chops to his advantage early on, which popped the crowd. Perry spit in his face, and Shibata remained calm. It got a little more heated after this, with Shibata laying it in a little harder with kicks and punches.
Shibata took control towards the end, hitting a Death Valley Driver and a fireman’s carry into a kneebreaker. Shibata applied a sleeper and grapevined it, but Perry leaned back and pins him!
Winner – Jack Perry
