**Interim AEW Championship**
**Champion JON MOXLEY vs. CHRIS JERICHO**
“Jericho has looked great recently! He’s had a little bit of a physical transformation. He’s got himself back into primo shape! But I don’t see them letting him beat Moxley here. As we’ve discussed previously, I assume Mox will hold it until Punk returns. As much as it pains me, give me Moxley here.” – John D’Aconti, EWP Correspondent.
Pick: JON MOXLEY
“Can you ‘Hot Potato’ this? You have this huge Pay-Per-View coming up. Can you give it to Jericho and then give it back to Moxley at All Out? AEW doesn’t do this, though. This is Moxley winning. But lest we forget that Chris Jericho is the modern-day Mick Foley. There are many faces of Chris Jericho. We’re getting the Lion Heart (Wednesday) night. The Pain Maker is undefeated. You can have some sort of ‘No Holds Barred’ bloodbath at All Out with the Pain Maker. Jericho has all these characters now. He’s a Sports Entertainer! He’s a Wizard! So, it’s Moxley tonight; then they’ll have the Rematch at All Out.” – Al Karl, EWP Host.
Pick: JON MOXLEY

**Coffin Match**
**DARBY ALLIN vs. BRODY KING**
“Darby told Brody, ‘You were the one that asked for this.’ And it’s Darby’s signature match, so I’m going to assume, although there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell that Brody should lose to Darby, I’m going to say that Darby gets it done here.” – John D’Aconti, EWP Correspondent
Pick: DARBY ALLIN
“Yeah, Brody can beat him straight up. But this is Darby’s match. I know this was the Undertaker’s Signature Match and Undertaker’s lost coffin matches by hook or crook. If this stays one-on-one, it still doesn’t favor Darby Allin, but because this is a Coffin Match and you don’t have to pin the guy, I guess this is Darby’s” – Al Karl, EWP Host.
Pick: DARBY ALLIN

**AEW TBS Championship**
**Champion JADE CARGILL vs MADISON RAYNE**
“Yeah, they brought (Madison) in to be a coach, if you will. And I guess the idea was, ‘Hey, let’s see if you can drag a good match out of gals who are a little green.’ I think she’ll have a better match with Jade cause Jade seems to be getting a little better every time we see her. And I think they should put on a perfect match between the two of them. I think Jade will continue to be your TBS Champion and remain undefeated.” – John D’Aconti, EWP Correspondent.
Pick: JADE CARGILL

**Tag Team Match (Tornado Rules)**
**THE LUCHA BROS vs ANDRADE EL IDOLO & RUSH**
“I feel Andrade and Rush should probably win this; I also can’t pick against the Lucha Brothers. Especially if this is going to be a Tornado / Grudge Match, I think this is going to be insane! Give me the Lucha Bros.” – John D’Aconti, EWP Correspondent
Pick: THE LUCHA BROS
“I’m going to pick Andrade and Rush, and the only way to beat the Lucha Brothers is to pull one of their masks off and roll them up. It happens every single time they lose. They can lose in another way! Stop taking their masks off! Other than that, this is going to be an incredible match, especially that there’s going to be no tags, and the four of them can fly around and do whatever they want!” – Al Karl, EWP Host.
Pick: ANDRADE EL IDOLO & RUSH

**RICKY STARKS vs. AARON SOLO**
“Standard AEW setup match. A small altercation in the back last week with Starks and The Factory led to this matchup. But the bigger picture here is Starks vs. Hobbs. So Starks with the win followed by a post-match attack by Hobbs, and potentially the rest of The Factory. Maybe Hobbs could eventually join The Factory? That would give them a much-needed boost to get them on TV more often.” – Al Karl, EWP Host
Pick: RICKY STARKS
