A chaotic brawl got the match rolling as The Wingmen tried to get the advantage over the father-son duo.
The Gunn Club sent Bononi and Drake over the ropes as the action spilled over near ringside. Colten landed a big chop before Drake was rolled into the ring.
Referee Aubrey Edwards called for the bell, and Billy Gunn unleashed a classic clothesline-based attack on Drake.
Colten came in and executed a clean dropkick for a two-count. Papa Gunn missed the Famouser and absorbed a big right hand. Bononi then got the tag and decked Gunn with a big boot after Drake's Manhattan drop.
Cezar focused on Billy's midsection with hooks. The WWE Hall of Famer got dumped outside, but he still had a lot left in the gas tank.
He sent Bononi crashing into the guard rail before getting back into the ring. Colten and Drake got the tags, and the match resumed.
Colten created a misdirection to outfox both Wingmen members. He laid out Cezar with a leaping clothesline before following through with a swinging neckbreaker.

Colten kicked out at two-and-a-half, but he didn't have his father in the corner for the tag. Drake missed the Vader Bomb, and Bononi accidentally pulled JD's boot off.
Colten sent Bononi outside as Billy hit a Famouser on Drake. Absolute pandemonium!

AEW Dark Main Event: Wheeler Yuta vs. Angelico (w/ Jack Evans)
The main event started with an intricate wrist lock exchange, followed by a snap mare from Yuta.
Angelico promised to bring his A-game tonight, but Wheeler was not your average in-ring worker. The highly-rated wrestler outsmarted Angelico, but the TH2 member worked towards a chin lock.
Yuta's aggressive attacking kicks followed the early stalemate. Angelico stopped a tope with a big commonguri and got the match back in the ring. Angelico executed a drop toehold and a double stomp to his rival's back. He went back to his slow but painful strategy of keeping Yuta grounded.
Wheeler broke free with three up-kicks, but his momentum didn't last long. Angelico locked in a trailer hitch submission before going for a modified octopus hold.
The matwork from Angelico was incredibly technical as he moved to a rear-naked choke. Yuta got back to his feet only to get rocked with a knee strike. The NJPW Strong star began the comeback with a mid-air counter followed by a springboard crossbody.
Yuta faked a top-rope move before delivering another flying crossbody for a near fall. Angelico landed a series of back elbows but got planted with a back suplex for another near fall.
Yuta pushed Angelico to the limits as he hit a Manhattan Drop-Enziguri combo. Angelico responded with a big right forearm, but Yuta bounced back to bridge the German suplex.
Angelico kicked out and retreated to the outside. Yuta followed him with a tope suicida as the crowd chanted for the star.
Angelico finally got some relief with the anti-air kick, followed by a stomp to Yuta's knee. It was just the set-up for the Navarro Death Roll, which got Angelico the submission win on AEW Dark.
