With a certain soda-pop-enthusiast deciding to overturn his principles at another company, what will AEW do this week? Why, continue it's G1-style Continental Classic tournament. Also, Julia Hart is a (spooky) fighting champion, and "The Patriarch" Christian Cage is very disappointed in you.

The announced card for tonight:

Bryan Danielson will be on commentary

AEW Continental Classic Match (Gold League): Mark Briscoe (0pts) vs. RUSH (0pts)

AEW Continental Classic Match (Gold League): Jon Moxley (3pts) vs. Jay Lethal (0pts)

TBS Championship Match: Julia Hart (c) vs. Emi Sakura -- House Rules stipulation

Trios match: Top Flight (with Action Andretti) vs. The Hardys (with Brother Zay)

Christian Cage responds to Adam Copeland

Jay Lethal vs. Jon Moxley has a weird energy. Lethal is currently a heel -- in fact, he's been a heel pretty much his entire time with AEW -- so his repertoire consists mostly of swift efficient strikes and heavily working Moxley's leg. All Moxley can do is be himself, so he'll bite and grapple and choke Lethal out. At least he was selling the leg post-match, so the format of the tournament means that someone might take advantage of that later.

Was *Fatty Arbuckle* worried? Was Frances bloody *Farmer* worried?

BWAHAHAHA literally one second after I posted that MJF referenced the "Scooby Doo bullshit" so I guess there's still a chance!

Samoa Joe said that Max is his personal project, right? You can ask Wardlow how well that worked out.

It's a real "I'm not trapped in here with you, you're trapped in here with me" energy.

The immediate response to Top Flight winning that excellent trios match is that we get another excellent trios match next week, as Penta challenges alongside Komander and Hijo del Vikingo. I guess we have to get in all the trios work we can before God smites one of the Martin brothers again!

Emi Sakura slapped Julia so hard her eyelash flew off, lol. Also shout out to Emi for wiggling her body properly to get under Julia's moonsault at the last minute.

And hey! "The Man Scout" Jake Manning shows up in an AEW Security polo, good for him!

A curse second only to Furious George -- I mean, Bryan Danielson.
