Better Than You, Bay Bay retain.
MJF & Adam Cole retained their ROH Tag Team Championships at AEW All Out, defeating Dark Order (John Silver & Alex Reynolds) in the opening contest.
The finish saw MJF hit the kangaroo kick on both members of Dark Order before Cole & MJF wiped out Reynolds with the double clothesline. Cole pinned Reynolds for the victory.
Earlier in the bout, MJF was taken away from ringside by medical officials after getting hit in the neck from behind with a steel chair. MJF would return during the final portion of the match, getting a hot tag, after Cole kicked out of a Dark Order double clothesline.
MJF IS BACK!!!

After the match, MJF refused to be helped to the back by officials. As MJF was walking to the back, Samoa Joe started to make his way to the ring for his match. Joe gave him a shove and entered the ring. MJF went after Joe, but was put in a guillotine choke for his troubles before officials broke it up.
MJF & Samoa Joe are going head to head before Joe's #ROH World TV Title match!
