It was time for Pretty Peter's Pageant Provocation! "Man of Steel" Mike Verna answered the call to make his AEW debut.
The hammerlock from Peter Avalon got the match underway. Verna got the full nelson and swung Avalon around. Impressive display of strength right there. Verna had the power advantage, and he used it to drop Avalon with a shoulder tackle. Verna executed a four-slingshot suplex. That was cool!
Avalon got control of the match by sending Verna shoulder-first into the ring post. Peter began to work on Verna's injured left arm. Verna connected with a few body shots, but he was sent to the apron. Verna showed off his power once again, but Avalon wrenched his opponent's arm and drove him down to the mat. Avalon continued to punish Verna's left arm. He positioned Mike on the top rope for the suplex, but Verna punched his way back.
He pushed Peter down and delivered the missile dropkick. Verna had the momentum now as he dropped Peter with a few clotheslines. He connected with a big right hand in the corner, followed by the tilt-a-whirl backbreaker.
He got a near fall with a Fisherman's suplex with the s-grip on the cradle. Verna went for the senton atomico, but Peter moved out of the way and delivered the Martinis for the win. Avalon even shot out a 'snot rocket' after the match, and Taz was disgusted! Solid match, though.
