Tailgate Brawl: "Jungle" Jack Perry vs. Katsuyori Shibata

Last Time in Action: "Jungle" Jack Perry lost in the Casino Gauntlet, and Katsuyori Shibata alongside Hook, Anthony Bowens and Action Andretti lost to Lio Rush and The Rascalz (All In, August 30).

Perry tested Shibata early by challenging his technical chops and strikes until a chop from The Wrestler sent him tumbling out of the ring, which sent the match into a commercial break.

Back from break, Jungle Jack caught Shibata on the apron with a boot, only to again fall to the chops of The Wrestler followed by a Snap Suplex on the apron.

Perry countered a second Suplex attempt into one of his own. Jungle Jack caught a PK and turned into the Snare Trap. Shibata kicked his way free but ran into a Tiger Driver for a near-fall.

Perry went for the Running Knee, but Shibata chopped him down hard then repeatedly chopped Jungle Jack in the corner.

Perry caught Shibata in a grapple and shifted into a pin for the surprise three count. After the win, Jungle Jack immediately found a camera to question where Samoa Joe is before yelling for him to arrive.

Hook, Bowens and Andretti arrived to reveal the returning Samoan Submission Machine, who marched to the ring.

Perry demanded a handshake and instead got a Headbutt courtesy of The Samoan Submission Machine.

This was a fun match that did its job well enough though will likely be forgotten by the end of the pay-per-view.

What matters more is that Joe is back, and he is ready to fight again. Perry vs. Joe should be a much more substantial bout and a major test for Jungle Jack.

He survived Shibata with a trick pin. It still does not feel like he is ready to beat Joe, but that may be the point.

He is looking to learn from Joe destroying him rather than expecting to beat the former two-time AEW men's world champion.

Taz questioned the intelligence of Perry going after world champions and exchanged strikes with Shibata, selling the test Jungle Jack was putting himself through.

The chest of Perry was left pure red by the end.

The crowd was behind Jungle Jack throughout until Joe arrived. The threat of Joe "killing" Perry had the crowd excited.

Tailgate Brawl: Sisters of Sin vs. Mina Shirakawa and Queen Aminata

Last Time in Action: Queen Aminatana and Mina Shirakawa defeated Emily Jaye and Georgia South (Collision, September 19); Skye Blue and Julia Hart lost to Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron (All Out: Buy In, August 30).

This match started back-and-forth and physical as The Sisters of Sin tried to slow down Mina and Aminata, but she kept her pace even past the commercial break.

Mina caught Blue with a Figure-Four into a Double Foot Stomp from Aminata, but Hart caught Aminata with a Superkick.

The Sisters of Sin both locked in Octopus Stretches on their opponents, who reversed out. Aminata went for Off with Her Head but got caught by Hart.

Blue twice almost rolled up Mina. The second was aided by a strike to Mina by Hart. While Mina kicked out, she was dazed, setting up a Code Blue to win.

This got sloppy in moments, but the women recovered quickly to keep the action moving, leading to an overall solid contest.

This was only on the Tailgate Brawl to make sure Blue got a spotlight in Chicago, but AEW did enough to sell the reason for this match over recent Collisions.

Maybe the win is enough to propel The Sisters of Sin into Women's World Tag Team Championships contention again.

Hart and Blue are the best established team in AEW and should eventually get a run with the gold. Taking down a formerly undefeated team should help them get there.

Hopefully this won't end up putting Mina and Aminata back on ROH exclusively. This women's division needs a variety of fresh stars at the top to keep things exciting.

Blue and Hart def. Mina and Aminata by pinfall.

The hometown woman, Blue, got the biggest chants of anyone in this match.

Beyond a couple shortcuts, it felt like The Sisters of Sin were mostly playing face in this, especially Blue, who fed off the crowd energy.

The Artist of Stardom Championships continue to be referenced on AEW TV, but it is a shame that The Triangle of Madness running the gold has not led to more Stardom star appearances.

Tailgate Brawl - No DQ: The Dogs and Death Riders vs. The Bang Bang Gang

Last Time in Action: Daniel Garcia lost to Andrade El Ídolo, and Wheeler Yuta lost to "Speedball" Mike Bailey (Collision, September 19). David Finlay and Clark Connors alongside Gabe Kidd and Pac defeated Ace Austin, Austin Gunn and Colten Gunn alongside Juice Robinson, and "Switchblade" Jay White defeated Adam Priest (Collision, September 12).

This was immediately chaos from the bell as it was clarified this was going to be No DQ, No Count Out and all NFL references.

Football charges and tackles became the frequent focus of the action, trying to isolate and beat down singular members of the opposition.

Ace rallied The Bang Bang Gang by running around and past all four heels to get the football to the end zone (ring).

Marina Shafir and Juice got into it after Marina broke up a pin. The Problem responded with a Judo Throw into a Headlock, rolling both to the outside.

Finlay caught Austin with a helmet for a near-fall. The Bang Bang Gang rallied back, and Switchblade sealed the win with a Switchblade to Yuta.

This was an absolute blast and the clear standout of the Tailgate Brawl. Everyone was having a blast from the wrestlers to the fans.

AEW has always been good at big team brawls like this, but this was completely different than a Stadium Stampede or Anarchy in the Arena courtesy of a heavy focus on the NFL references.

Ace got the best spot of the match and looked like a star despite coming in as the least established act of the contest.

White got a nice pin at the end to sell that he is still a big problem for any heel on this roster, though it does not feel like he is done yet with The Dogs.

The second Switchblade vs. Finlay match is the final payoff and needs a big stage. It could be WrestleDream.

White, Ace, Austin and Colten def. Yuta, Garcia, Connors and Finlay by pinfall.

Before the match, Mick Foley got the inside scoop backstage on The Bang Bang Gang's strategy.

Connors came out with a beer keg while The Death Riders brought football pads.

The Dogs and Death Riders also got NFL introductions during their entrance.

The crowd had fun with the NFL references, even getting in a "Green Bay sucks" chant.

Juice and Marina played coaches at ringside for much of this with straight faces.

The talent ran down to seconds on the clock before the victory, leading to a quick transition to the PPV.

National Championship: Andrade El Ídolo (c) vs. Pac

Last Time in Action: Pac defeated Ace Austin (Collision, September 23). Andrade El Ídolo successfully defended the National Championship against Daniel Garcia (Collision, September 19).

These two started slow, but El Ídolo ran into a strong German Suplex from Pac. Andrade responded with Three Amigos, only for The Bastard to fight to the floor before the third.

Pac ducked a diving Andrade then distracted referee Aubrey Edwards to allow Marina Shafir to gouge the eyes of El Ídolo.

The Bastard took over the action until Andrade tossed Marina into the crowd. El Ídolo almost caught Pac back in the ring with a Fake-Out Standing Moonsault.

Pac continued to get in the way of El Ídolo taking off his pants to the annoyance of the crowd. Andrade successfully hit the Three Amigos and knocked Pac out of the ring.

Finally, El Ídolo got his pants off followed by a Torneo to Pac on the floor. When Andrade tried to get in his typical crowd selfie, Marina choked out the woman.

Pac used the distraction to knock Andrade back into the ring followed by a Springboard 450 Splash for the near-fall.

Andrade landed on his feet out of a Top-Rope Headscissors and landed Día de los Muertos, only for Pac to roll outside. The Bastard Suplexed El Ídolo into the barricade for a near-count-out.

Pac then set up for the Black Arrow. Andrade ducked it and set up a DM, only for Marina to get on the apron and charm El Ídolo.

Pac took advantage with a Rebound Clothesline into the Brutalizer. Andrade shifted the leverage into a pin for the stolen victory.

This was a great opener that highlighted the long-known truth that these two are a perfect pair in the ring.

The long run-time in this contest was never obvious because they kept things fresh and engaging.

From playing on all of Andrade's established character flaws to showcasing more than ever how good Marina is as a manager, this match flew by without relying on big drama.

The final stretch sold that either man could win, and Pac looked like he had the win while Andrade escape The Death Riders' best tricks for now.

It seems like Andrade will need to lose the National Championship before he goes after the AEW Men's World Championship, so his title reign is unlikely to last much longer.

It has still been a major success so far, and Andrade is one of the most popular stars in AEW.

Andrade def. Pac by pinfall to retain the National Championship.

Before the match, Renee Paquette explained that Pac saw himself as the more prepared athlete between himself and the champion.

"He's our bastard"/"How you know?" dueling chants started this match beautifully.

Andrade lost his focus because of Marina multiple times, which could be his Achilles' heel in the future unless he gets a manager that keep him focused.
