(Raw)

Full Gear is in a few days, and tonight's Raw was the go home show before AEW's pay-per-view. However, for tonight there are two matches advertised.

Hikaru Shida forms an alliance with the Genius of the Sky Io Shirai as she looks for revenge against the AEW Women's Champion Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. and her associate Rebel.

The main event tonight will showcase tag team action as Josh Stevens and Samoa Joe will test out their teamwork against the Dark Order, so they can be ready for Santana and Ortiz at Double or Nothing.

Io was warming up for the match and was already in her attire. The Joshi Judas was stretching and doing her splits as she heard a knock on the door.

Io: hai?

Scott: Io, it's Scott, can I come in?

Hearing Scott's voice made Io's heart skip a beat. She had a plan to tease him.

Io: wait a second Scott

She did her splits in front of the door with a smirk on her face.

Io: you can come in

The Reaper walked inside and he was surprised by the sight in front of him.

Scott: whoa! That's some serious stretching

Scott was checking Io out especially on her thicc bottom. However, he regained his composure as Io got back up. The Joshi Judas smirked as she seductively walked up to him.

Io: you came to see me?

Scott: oh uh... yes. I just want to wish you good luck on your match

Io smiled and gave Scott a hug, which made the Reaper's eyes widened. However, he melted as he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her back.

Io: arigato

She smiled and gave Scott a kiss on his cheek.

Io: you will watch me, right?

Scott: of course

Io: hai okay, time for me to go

As Io walked away, she turned around and decided to tease and mess with Scott by running her finger along his spine, making the Reaper yelp and jump while Io giggled.

Scott: I-Io...

Io winked and giggled as she left the locker room. She caught up with her partner Hikaru and the two left for the ring.

(Shirai and Shida vs. Baker and Rebel)

The two women to start were Hikaru and Britt. There was some unfinished business between them, as Hikaru is on a quest to reclaim the AEW Women's title. The two women locked up before Shida transitioned it into a headlock. Britt broke off and pushed Hikaru to the ropes only for the former champion to fire back with a shoulder block.

Baker got back up and misses a right hand, and then she was taken down by a dropkick from Shida.

(Minutes later)

After Hikaru took down both Rebel and Baker with a double clothesline, she dragged her body and crawled to her corner to tag in the Joshi Judas. Hikaru reached and successfully tagged in Io.

Shirai used the ropes to jump and take down both Baker and Rebel with a double missile dropkick.

The legal woman was Baker, and Io was landing combinations of punches and kicks on the AEW Women's Champion. Io got Britt on the ropes along with Rebel. Shirai ran from the ropes and hits a double 619 on the dentist and her associate.

(Fast forward towards the finish)

As Io locked in the crossface on Britt, Rebel came in and broke the hold off. Hikaru stepped in and takes down Rebel with a Falcon Arrow, and then takes her out with her running single knee.

As Io and Britt got back up, the dentist attempted to take the Joshi Judas down and make her submit to the Lockjaw, but then saw the Raw Women's Champion Tegan Nox waving at her from ringside.

The Girl with the Shiniest Wizard distracted Britt, which gave Io time to recover and fazes the dentist with a dropkick from behind, making her tangled on the second rope. Io went to hit another 619, setting up Britt on the drop zone.

Io climbed to the top turnbuckle and nails her moonsault on the dentist. The Joshi Judas got the victory for her Hikaru while in the process, pinned the AEW Women's Champion.

Tegan clapped for her friend as Io and Hikaru celebrated their victory while the Raw Women's Champion taunted the dentist as she got a step ahead.

The Raw Women's Champion got in the ring and raised Io and Hikaru's arms while the crowd cheered loud.

(Fast forward to the main event)

After an hour and half, it was time for the main event as the Intercontinental Champion Josh Stevens puts his partnership with Samoa Joe to the test against the Dark Order.

Josh had his hands full with his feud against Sammy Guevara for the Intercontinental title, Anna Jay playing mind games with him and his tag team title shot with Joe against Santana and Ortiz.

The Dark Order's Alex Reynolds and John Silver were already in the ring waiting for their opponents.

Samoa Joe made his entrance with a look of seriousness and is in battle mode as he marched down the ring all business.

The Nation of Violence stared down at the Dark Order members as he did his signature hand pose.

Then Josh's theme played and the Intercontinental Champion walked down the ring ready for battle while keeping eyes on the back of his head for either Sammy or Anna. He got in the ring and looked at Joe to give a nod, telling him that they must get on the same page.

Joe silently went to the ring apron and let Josh start off against Silver. The Fallen Warrior got Silver in a test of strength and backed him off to the turnbuckle before the referee told him to break the count. Silver tried to get some offense, but Josh got him with a knee to the gut before getting him with a northern lights suplex for an early pin.

(Minutes later)

Josh tagged in Joe, and the Samoan Submission Machine connected quick rapid right hands to Silver, making him stumble to the corner and Reynolds tagged himself in to give his partner time to recover.

As Reynolds ran, Joe got him with the snap scoop slam for another early pin. Joe then picked Reynolds up and launched him to the turnbuckles for a running splash followed by an enziguri.

Joe Irish whipped Reynolds to the opposite corner, but Reynolds countered. The Dark Order member tried to go for an offense, but Joe fired back with uranage slam.

Joe: sit yo ass down!

(End of match)

Josh was the legal man for the team and he was prepared to finish Silver off with the 25th Hour, but then he saw Guevara running down the ramp and jumped on the apron, but before the Spanish God can do anything, Joe pulled him down and locked in the Coquina Clutch on the outside while Sammy tapped out and Josh taunted the Spanish God.

Silver took the opportunity to get Josh for roll up pin, but the Intercontinental Champion kicked out. Josh got back up quick and got Silver in the position for the 25th Hour. Reynolds tried to help, but he was knocked down by Joe. Josh connected with the 25th Hour for the pinfall victory.

Josh and Joe's arms were raised in victory and Joe lightly smirked as his alliance with Josh was a success. Joe nodded and offered a handshake in which Josh immediately accepted. 

Then they were interrupted by the AEW World Tag Team Champions Santana and Ortiz. The Inner Circle members raised their titles as they are ready for Double or Nothing next month.

The show ended with Josh and Joe sending a warning to the champions by Joe locking the Coquina Clutch on Reynolds while Josh taunted them saying that this will happen to them next month.
