Result: Adam Page eliminates MJF for the win, and the right to challenge for the AEW World Title (16:00).

Rating: It's always a risk introducing a new match type, especially one with rules this convoluted, and while the concept didn't lend itself that well to live TV, the match was nevertheless a solid riff on the usual Battle Royal formula.

There was a decent mix of athleticism and silly shenanigans (Nakazawa's oil, Joey Janela wearing a lit cigarette and Tommy Dreamer getting his nuts stapled, for instance), not to forget the occasional flash of genuine brutality (that Luchasaurus table spot looked horrific).

It was definitely rough around the edges, though - botches were commonplace and the producer missed crucial coverage of several spots.

Cage's eventual presence ensured a predictable finish, but overall this was a decent showcase for some potential future AEW talent. #SignLuchasaurus. 6/10
