Match notes

The title change. Alonzo, who had been attacking Oni King and Benny Blanco, demanded MVP, the 4th Rope commissioner, give him the vacant title, saying he had been cheated out of a title chance, per Fights Around The World. SEScoops, citing F4W, says MVP awarded it to him and put it on the line at once. MVP brought out Lashley as the challenger, and Lashley won in about two minutes, per Fightful and SEScoops. Fights Around The World says MVP noted Zilla Fatu, the first champion, had left for NXT.

The tag titles. The match was meant to be a four-way. Fights Around The World says East Coast weather and airport trouble delayed 5150 and The Hardys, so it began as a straight tag match, 5150 arrived and made it a three-way, and The Hardys came out later. The Infantry won, and The Hardys handed them the belts, per the same account.

Strickland vs. Mack. Strickland, an AEW star, made his 4th Rope debut. BodySlam lists him as the winner. F4W and WrestleZone had called it his first match outside AEW since July 2024, as we reported before the show. See our Strickland card story.

Moments that mattered

  • Lashley walked in as MVP's choice to defend the belt and left with it. He is a member of The Hurt Syndicate with MVP and Shelton Benjamin, per Fightful.
  • Westside Gunn founded 4th Rope. He tagged WWE and Nick Khan in a post after a meeting earlier in the week. See our Westside Gunn story. Nothing in the results reports says WWE appeared on this show.

What is next

Strickland is in the Texas Death Match for the AEW World Trios Championship at Full Gear on Saturday, Nov. 14, in Phoenix. See our Full Gear card story. 4th Rope has not said when it will next hold a show or whether Lashley will defend the title there.
