The “Hangman” side picked up the victory over Will Ospray in what may have been the fight at night between Aew Stars. Side and Ospreay gave it all. Side, Ospray hit with several moves in his bag to try to remove Ospray away, but the English wrestler would not give up. It took both of them to go through a collapsed table and a huge buckshot Lariat to Page to finally fasten Ospreaut.
Before Page celebrated with the tournament belt and the trophy, he went back down the ramp and pick a downward Ospreaut up on his feet and shook his hand. It was the ultimate show of respect between the two wrestlers after an overwhelming tournament.
Page defeated Josh Alexander and Kyle Fletcher to get to the final. Ospray topped Kevin Knight and Konosuke Takeshita.
On the women’s side, it was Moné who got the best of Jamie Hayter to earn his shot at Aew Women’s Championship. She attacked Hayter’s back consistently with backstabber after backstabber to keep Hayter down.
Hayter did everything she could to try to get Moné down for the count, but Moné showed why she is the current AEW TBS champion and Revolution Pro Wrestling undisputed British women’s master. She counteracted Hayter’s elbow attack and put both her arms behind her back before rolling her up for Pinfall.

Now Page and Moné get the title shot in: Texas on July 12.
Page is square against Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship, and Moné will squares against Toni Storm for Aew Women’s World Championship.
Storm defended his title against Mina Shirakawa, who recently signed with AEW as a full -time competitor. The two long -time competitors seemed to put their rivalry to rest after the match.
The “timeless” sealed the victory with a kiss to Shirakawa.
Moxley was on the team that lost an anarchy in the Arena match earlier in the night.
The team of Kenny Omega, Swerve Strickland, Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, Katsuyori Shibata and Willow Nightingale defeated Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, Matthew Jackson and Nicholas Jackson.
