With the series tied at two wins apiece, FTR and the Motor City Machine Guns went to war for the fifth time to complete their top-five finish. November 11 “AEW Dynamite” program. AEW President Tony Khan added the stipulation that the winners would earn the AEW World Tag Team Championship, and the two men to win the title were Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley.
The story of the game was Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler trying to isolate Shelly after they brutally attacked his knee after MCMG took the lead in the third game of the series. Shelly was eventually able to tag in Sabin, despite the referee not seeing the initial tag, firing in quick steps to swing the match back in his favor. However, just as it looked like Sabin had won the match, Wheeler hit him in the head with the ring bell as the referee’s back was turned, but Sabin was just able to kick out.
Sabin tried to fight back, but the damage at the ring bell was evident as Harwood worked over him, though an FTR attempt to go for a Spike Piledriver resulted in Sabin countering by catapulting Harwood into Wheeler in the corner. A refreshed Shelly came in and MCMG started to put together some tag team offense, but Harwood was able to kick out. FTR hit a Power and Glory on Shelly, but Sabin hit a Missile Dropkick to stop Wheeler from getting any more shots. Stockley tried to engage but was quickly taken out and Sabin took Wheeler out of the running as Harwood and Shelley stayed in the ring.
Shelley took the lead when MCMG put together some of their signature sequences with five minutes remaining and Stokely made their presence felt in the final five minutes. He almost helped Harwood get the pin by grabbing the legs of Shelly who was still thrown out. Shelley then hit the Shatter Machine as she chased Stokely, but Sabin broke it up taking Stokely out with a Cradle Shock. Shelley kicked out of a Spike Piledriver as the match entered the final minute, but he hung on long enough to force FTR into another Spike Piledriver into another Shatter Machine, only for him to roll up Harwood, throw Wheeler out of the ring, and win the match, the streak, and a shot at the gold.
