You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible



It's Sunday and you know what that means! It's pape time, and while it's going to be bittersweet, it's also time for celebration! Today is Sting's final match as an in-ring competitor, he's going out with a bang! So let's get to it!


The Main Card (begins at 8pm EST):

https://x.com/AEW/status/1764289632001560702?s=20

For the AEW World Tag Team Championship: Sting & Darby Allin vs The Young Bucks

It's time to say goodbye to the Icon Sting, but if The EVPs Nicholas & Matthew Jackson have their way, it's not going to have a happy ending.** But over the years Sting has shown that he can overcome anything.*** Will the legend retire as champion, or will he go out on his back?

https://x.com/TonyKhan/status/1763012160752353661?s=20

For the AEW World Championship: Samoa Joe vs Swerve Strickland vs "Hangman" Adam Page

AEW World Champion Samoa Joe is the most physically dominant World Champion in AEW history**** and tonight he has the toughest challenge of his reign as he defends not only against "Hangman" Adam Page, but Swerve Strickland! Some are saying it's Swerve's time to be champion, and Page seems more intent on keeping Strickland from winning the gold than winning it himself. And the Champion Joe has proven he's more than adept at three way matches with his legendary feud with Christopher Daniels and AJ Styles. Who will walk out as champion?

https://x.com/AEW/status/1762900477451362326?s=20

For the AEW Women's World Championship: "Timeless" Toni Storm vs "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo

The relationship between Toni Storm and Deonna Purrazzo is like a story from a classic Hollywood movie.***** Friends who once like sisters, but now find themselves at odds. Purrazzo seems intent on not only winning the title from Storm, but also smacking some sense into her former friend. But Storm is desperate to remain at the top of the box office, and will do whatever it takes. Will this have the storybook Hollywood ending, or will it end with a twist?

https://x.com/AEW/status/1763625253916594444?s=20

For the Continental Crown: Eddie Kingston vs "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson.

The three championships that make up the Continental Crown (The ROH World Championship, the AEW Continental Championship, and the NJPW Strong Openweight Championship) may be on the line in this bout, but they're almost secondary to the personal animosity between Kingston and Danielson. Kingston wants Danielson's respect, even if he has to beat it into him. Danielson wants to prove that Kingston is what he believes him to be, and that's a bum. Who's the one who's going to get what they want?

https://x.com/AEW/status/1757540152862515492?s=20

For the AEW International Championship: Orange Cassidy vs The Undisputed Kingdom's Roderick Strong

For a match booked a month ago, Champion Cassidy could have taken the easy way out and sat out AEW until tonight. But that's not the kind of champion Cassidy is, and he's been defending his title week in and week out since then. And that's what Strong has been counting on. Has Cassidy spread himself too thin, making him ripe****** for the picking? Or has Strong, like most of Cassidy's previous opponents, underestimated him?

https://x.com/AEW/status/1760695947900891187?s=20

For the TNT Championship: Christian Cage vs Daniel Garcia

Is tonight Daniel Garcia's time? Garcia, after rediscovering his strength post Continental Classic, certainly believes it is, and is looking to become TNT Champion. But the head of The Patriarchy Christian Cage has had a stranglehold******* on the TNT Title, even since before winning the title himself. Will he crush Garcia's dreams, or will Garcia finally reach that next level?

https://x.com/AEW/status/1763987636656460239?s=20

In a battle of members of The Don Callis Family, Will Osprey takes on Konosuke Takeshita

Don Callis wants to show that his "family" has the best wrestlers in the world, and tonight he has chosen to have AEW's newest signing******** Will Osprey face off with Konosuke Takeshita! Both these men have had an incredible twelves, with both men racking up wins over Kenney Omega. But who will come out on top when they go head to head? And will The Family be the same afterwards?

https://x.com/AEW/status/1761783116564439350?s=20

In a Tag Team Grudge Match, former AEW, ROH, IWGP, and AAA Tag Team Champions FTR do battle with former AEW World Champion Jon Moxley and former ROH World Champion Claudio Castagnoli of The Blackpool Combat Club

We could talk about how the rivalry started, but who cares about how we got here? This bout is going to be a straight up fight, and you can expect all four men to hold nothing back********* as they look to beat the ever-loving hell out of each other!

https://x.com/FiteTV/status/1764319829560074287?s=20

In a Eight Man, All-Star Scramble for a shot at the AEW World Championship: Chris Jericho vs Powerhouse Hobbs vs Wardlow vs Lance Archer vs Dante Martin vs Magnus vs Brian Cage vs the FTW World Champion HOOK

With the Meat Madness put on hold,********** Tony Khan has instead gifted up this match, Eight Men battling it out for a future shot at the AEW World Title, and with a mix of power wrestlers, high flyers, and submission specialists, this match has the potential to be the sleeper match of the night!


And on ZERO HOUR (7pm on YouTube):

https://x.com/AEW/status/1764010212514488759?s=20

All six members of The Bang Bang Scissor Gang will take on the sextet of Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal, Santam Singh, Private Party, and Willie Mack!***********

https://x.com/TonyKhan/status/1763770942512038251?s=20

Kris Statlander & Willow Nightingale, with Stokely Hathaway,************ square off with the TBS Champion, The House of Black's Julia Hart and Skye Blue! Hart and Blue have been thorns in Stat and Willow's sides, and Stat and Willow look to finally pluck those thorns!




*[sobs]
**Not like that, you pervs.
***Like countless betrayals
****Even more than CM Punk?
*****The Accountant?
******Wordplay!
*******"Stranglehold" would be a good name for an indy wrestler
********Well, "The Bounty Hunter" Bryan Keith is the newest signing, but you get my drift.
*********Well, hopefully "almost" nothing when it comes to Cash.
**********Due to bad meat?
***********Willie, what are you doing? You aren't a heel. Don't get mixed up with Jarrett and his cronies.
************Reluctantly.

Before the 90 minute (???) pre-show, I found Sting: The Lost Tape on Peacock and it's awesome. 30 minutes of old footage of Sting getting ready for his match against Big Bubba at Slamboree. Lots of candid footage of Sting, Tenay, Macho Man, Buff. Really well done. Not sure if it's entirely WWE produced or if they just slapped some editing on it. Not enough time for you guys to watch it before the pre-show stars but I highly recommend it. Maybe some post-ppv/pre-SCRUM viewing.
