Chris Sabin

So That's where I, we're kind of here.

And honestly, it made sense because at the same respective, Chris Sabin actually suffered a legit injury, so he was gonna be out of action for a while, and it was just one of those situations where it was like, "Well, what can we do with Alex Shelley? Oh, we have this storyline here.

Let's bring him in here.

Let's have him do this." So the question is: Is the new team of Alex Shelley and James Storm going to rise above the differences, or are they going to just crumble down? Well, we have Robert Roode, Bobby Roode on commentary.

Um, but the post-match saw h- we, we talked about, uh, the debut of the new level.

We also got the debut of Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley coming out to an AEW ring for the first time.

Awesome debut.

I'm really glad they held them off for the biggest reaction possible, that now you have this new tag team in the mix.

Now let me give you the quick match results from that card, and then I'll tell you the buy rate.

Uh, for the ult- the first ever Ultimate X match, you have Michael Shane beat Chris Sabin and Frankie Kazarian to win the, the X Division title.

AJ Styles and Six Pac beat Jeff Jarrett and Sting.

You had Jeff Jarrett retain the NWA heavyweight title, defeating Raven with Julio Dinero and Alexis Laree in his corner, a very young Mickie James.

Mark Briscoe over BJ Whitmer.

Homicide over Trent Acid in a Fight Without Honor match.

Jay Briscoe over AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, and Chris Sabin in a four-corner survival match.

In the main event, The Clockwork Orange House of Fun match, Raven defeats CM Punk.

Then you had Gabriel versus Jeff Hardy, and then we had, um, and then the main event was Frankie, uh, it was Shane, Frankie Cas- and Cash and Petey Williams versus, uh, AJ Styles.

I'm, no, I'm sorry, it was Triple X, uh, Chris Sabin, and Sonjay Dutt.

That was the main event.

So, um, and unfortunately we had another six...

You know, Kazarian, Michael Shane, Kid Kash, uh, I nearly said Doug Williams.

[laughs] We're a long way off Doug Williams being in the X Division.

Uh, Petey Williams, uh, Christopher Daniels, Elix Skipper, Sanjay Dutt, Chris Sabin.

I mean, that's a who's who there of, of X Division goodness.

I think everybody aside from Moose.

But yeah, Option C is literally like, you know, Chris Sabin, Austin Aries, it's, it's a proven thing to, to work.

Well, we gonna have to see how...

I mean, they gonna have a good match, I would say, but, you know, for your main WrestleMania attractions type show, is that gonna be enough? You feel what I'm saying?

Okay.

Three is Chris Sabin.

Chris Sabin, two.

All right, the next one, Notorious Dom.

Four.

Hmm.

Slide through dropkick by Eric Young, going for the cover, gets a one count on Chris Sabin.

I don't know if we've recorded since they made their AEW debut, but the Machine Guns are All Elite.

Very excited.

I have nothing about this.

I have-

There's gotta be a no- a note here that's like, "Oh, Chris Sabin didn't shake somebody's hand backstage, so now they're getting jobbed out."

I am, I am stunned, absolutely stunned.

And the card is not that bad.

In a steel cage match, you had the Great Muta, Sonata, and Yasu over Christopher Daniels and Kazarian, along with Chris Sabin.

Sam Shaw beat Mr. Anderson.

And remember that this is Lockdown where everything happens in a cage, so every match is in a cage.
