MVP of the Night: Darby Allin<\/strong><\/p>\nIt almost feels unfair to call Allin the \u201cMost Valuable Player\u201d in any sense when he clearly doesn\u2019t treat himself like one. Nonetheless, there isn\u2019t anyone quite like the Washingtonian anywhere else in wrestling right now.<\/p>\n

Consider that for better or worse, but Allin goes to such great lengths to sell a ticket that you genuinely believe, \u201cOK. He might have done it this time. He isn\u2019t moving after that thing he shouldn\u2019t be moving from.\u201d He forces you to respect the commitment and execution of his craft.<\/p>\n
Uncrowned Gem of the Night: Stokely Hathaway<\/strong><\/p>\nOK, there are countless choices for this one. It\u2019s simply too difficult to choose, so to make it easy, let\u2019s remember that Stokely went through a freaking flaming table. Like, what?<\/p>\n
Additionally, I will shout out Kyle Fletcher, who deserves credit for the great technical work he did alongside Moxley.<\/p>\n

Match of the Night: Konosuke Takeshita vs. Kazuchika Okada<\/strong><\/p>\nThis match was everything their last one should have been. But the last encounter served its purpose, and arguably made this one what it was. These two are just made for each other, and got to go out there and smash it out of the park. It was one of those matches that leaves you with little to say. A masterclass from two of the best in the business. And maybe most importantly, Takeshita got his big win over a legend like Okada for a title.<\/p>\n
Spot of the Night: Bandido\u2019s Poisonrana to Swerve Strickland off the apron<\/strong><\/p>\nAEW can’t help itself with making this award the absolute most difficult to hand out each and every PPV. On this night, though, nothing quite shocked the hell out of me like Bandido launching Swerve off the ring the way he did. I mean, aside from the Allin near-death, but I’m not sure if that should be counted as a spot because it was too hard to tell if it was intentional.<\/p>\n

Either way, Bandido and Swerve certainly gave the sleeper match of the night \u2014 but realistically, anything outside of the main event and two openers could be considered as such.<\/p>\n

After the match, we get a surprise attack and turn on Kevin Knight. He targeted the already-down Allin and closed the note on a high note for bad guys around the globe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n

MJF ends up finding the Avalanche Tombstone, locking on the headlock takeover pin for good measure, and securing the win! And new (again) to end an insane match on an insane night. All around epic.<\/p>\n

MJF carries Darby up to the barber area on the ramp, as he teases shaving Darby’s head, which is not a part of the match. He locks on a guillotine, and MJF goes “out.” Darby puts him on the table and climbs the scaffolding for a ridiculous Coffin Drop!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

They each take a breather and stare at each other before standing as MJF shouts, “F*** you!” MJF goes outside and gets lined up for a suicide dive. He pulls the cameraman in the way to take the dive, which was quite the angle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

MJF tries to repeat that same Heatseeker-Cutter sequence, but Darby brilliantly counters with a Scorpion Death Drop! MJF kicks out, and Darby looks for a Coffin Drop. MJF isn’t near, and they start trading headlock takeover pins. They trade Sunset Flips, then rolling pins. They go to backslides! Darby finds a Code Red at the end of the whole sequence, but MJF still kicks out. Wild pace right there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n
