We hear from MJF, who says that he is not a fan of bare pinkies and Orange Cassidy, and that he will upset some "not-so-smart marks" when he bashes Cassidy's brains in and retains the Dynamite Diamond Ring.
We see another black-and-white clip starring Darby Allin, where Darby takes an ink blot test where the ink blots looks like other wrestlers, including "The Machine" Brian Cage, whom he wants to beat in the ring. When he sees an ink blot that looks like Sting, he simply laughs.
Tony Schiavone interviews "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes in the ring. Before Cody can say anything, Sting shows up, and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson says he had to get a little closer to make sure this was real, then says that both Cody and Sting have agendas and that he will get out of the ring. Schiavone hands the microphone to Sting and prepares to leave, but Sting asks for a hug as it has been so many years since they last talked, and gives Schiavone kudos for helping him throughout his career and has him say "It's Sting!" one more time, which he does. Cody then welcomes Sting back after Schiavone leaves, then thanks him for the assist last week before saying he has waited to share a ring with him for a very long time. Sting says he is not here for him - at least, not right now - then says there is something really, really familiar about the arena before pointing at Darby Allin, who is sitting in one of the upper levels. He says that the animals are the same but different in a lot of ways, then says he is in a jungle and he has come full circle after showing up on TNT once again. Cody welcomes Sting back once again, then Sting says Cody knows what goes on in the arena but also knows that the only sure thing about him is that nothing is for sure. Sting then announces he is signed to AEW and plans to be close to the fans and the promotion for a long time, and that he plans to spend a lot of time in AEW. He then says the way he chooses to play is his business, then puts his arm hand on Cody's shoulder and says "See you around, kid."
We hear from Taz, who brags about Team Taz ("The Machine" Brian Cage, "Absolute" Ricky Starks, Powerhouse Hobbs) beating up "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes and Darby Allin before Sting came to the rescue. Ricky Starks tells Cody Rhodes to take a good look at Hook, who is treaining with Taz in the dojo now. Taz then says his men are always ready to beat somebody's ass.
FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) beat The Varsity Blondes (Griff Garrison and Brian Pillman Jr.). After the match, FTR have a brief confrontation with Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy, Marko Stunt, Luchasaurus).
In footage from earlier today, Alex Marvez interviews "Hangman" Adam Page, who is met by Alex "3" Reynolds and John "4" Silver in cowboy hats, who want to be his partners in his six-man tag match next week. Page, initially reluctant, tells him it is one and done and that he is not joining The Dark Order before saying he accepts.
"The Natural" Dustin Rhodes beats Preston "10" Vance. During the match, Aaron Solow grabs at 10 from the front row only to eat a pump kick. After the match, Evil Uno shows up with the rest of The Dark Order, and tells Dustin that while he cannot change their past, they can improve their future. He tells Dustin his name comes with pressure, as he is only "the third-most important Rhodes," then asks Dustin if he is ready to take his rightful place as "7." Dustin slaps Evil Uno in the face, and when The Dark Order rushes towards the ring, Evil Uno tells them to back up before telling Dustin he will come begging for it when he sees the light and understands what he understands.
Tony Schiavone interviews Brandi Rhodes and Shaquille O'Neal. Shaq says that he has seen Jade Cargill's recent appearance on Dynamite and admits he is a fan of hers, but that he did not appreciate what she did to Brandi's arm, which is now in a cast. Brandi says Cargill came to her house and talked down to her people, and that her reaction is the one to be expected when somebody does that. Brandi proposes that they can stop all this so nobody can get hurt, and Shaq says he would love to see that, and admits that while he and Cody are messing around, he knows it is serious between Jade Cargill and Brandi Rhodes. He then tells Brandi to watch Cargill, as she might get a few pointers from her. When Brandi asks if this is a joke, Shaq says he is serious, which leads to Brandi throwing water into Shaq's face before calling him "an overgrown asshole." The interview ends with a wet Shaq looking dead at the camera.
The Inner Circle shows up. Chris Jericho says this is a serious night for them, as this is the last night they could be in the ring together due to the ultimatum that he proposed last week where he either asked the group to come together better than before or split up forever. He says the group's behavior from last week was "embarrassing and sickening" and will never happen again, and after mentioning that everyone is angry with each other and that Santana is so irritated with everyone that he did not show up tonight. MJF tells The Inner Circle that he loves them all, then says he understands what is going on here and says he is the issue here because people think he wants to break up the group or take it over, but tells them that he wanted to join because he wanted to be part of the greatest faction in professional wrestling and create bonds that would never be broken. He says the ultimate broke him last week, but Sammy Guevara interrupts him and tells him to shut up. Jericho says they all watch Dynamite and that they know what he was doing with the towel last week, and while MJF says he had sweat on his brow, Ortiz says MJF and Wardlow are talented assets who are beneficial to the group, then says it is debatable if they are human beings, especially MJF, who he admits is "growing on [him] like a fungus." Ortiz then asks Guevara to shake MJF's hand, and says that while Jericho chose him, one does not always choose the hand they are dealt and that together, they can be a winning hand, then tells him to be the better man because he is better than MJF and he knows it. A reluctant Guevara says he will shake hands and says he trusts Jericho with everything, but tells both MJF and Jericho that he will quit The Inner Circle if anything else happens here. Jericho agrees, then Guevara shakes MJF's hand after telling Jericho he is serious. Jericho tells Guevara he appreciates him standing up for himself and appreciates what Ortiz has to say, then Jake Hager asks why Wardlow keeps staring at him. Wardlow says Jake has been staring at him, and both men admit they are creeping each other out. Jericho calls for an end to the staring war, with both men agreeing to it while saying that they can stop staring if they want to. Jericho then announces that The Inner Circle is on the same page and are agreeing grow and build and dominate AEW like they can, and has everyone put their hands in for a multi-man flip off after having to stop MJF from talking about having to beat up Orange Cassidy tonight.
Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Tully Blanchard. Wheeler takes full responsibility for costing FTR the tag team titles, but Blanchard tells him not to shoulder all the responsibilty, as he was not at ringside. Harwood says you can slap a bad-ass bumper sticker on a Dodge Stratus, but that does not make it a 1982 Ford Bronco. He then says they are still the baddest tag team on the planet and that the AEW World Tag Team Championships are still their goal.
Eddie Kingston, The Butcher and The Blade beat Lance Archer and The Lucha Bros. (Penta El Zero M and Rey Fenix) in a six-man tag match. Penta El Zero M is helped to the back by officials as Eddie Kingston points and laughs at him after being put through a table with a vertical suplex by The Butcher early in the match. After the match, Lance Archer single-handedly attacks the winning team, and when The Blade tries to save Eddie Kingston, he is laid out and has to be saved by The Butcher.
Backstage, Jade Cargill and Nyla Rose attack Red Velvet. Serena Deeb confronts them, but he is shoved from behind by Ivelisse, who is joined by Diamante. Officials have to stop the ensuing brawl.
Abadon beats Tesha Price, then attacks her after the match. Suddenly, Hikaru Shida shows up, which causes Abadon to stop. Hikaru Shida helps Tesha Price up after smacking Abadon with her Kendo stick, but Abadon quickly gets up as Shida helps Tesha Price out of the ring.
Backstage, Dasha Gonzalez interviews Chris Jericho. Jericho says The Inner Circle is on the same page, and because of their solidarity, they will join MJF and Wardlow at ringside tonight to ensure and guarantee MJF beats Orange Cassidy and retains the Dynamite Diamond Ring.
We see Kenny Omega and Don Callis arrive to the arena by helicopter. As Alex Marvez interviews them, Callis tells Marvez they can wait and watch them in the ring like everyone else before showing up in the ring to be interviewed by Tony Schiavone, who shows his disgust over what happened last week. Callis says he and Tony Khan are upset like the fans, and welcomes Tony Khan to the wrestling business before saying that last week was not a screwjob and that he and Omega did the unthinkable and appeared on Impact Wrestling last night. He says that he has watched Omega since he was a kid grow into a world champion like an invisible hand, and says that they have made history with the match with Chris Jericho at the Tokyo Dome and says that without them, Tony Khan would not have created AEW. Omega says he and Callis waited for over a year and bided their time for this moment, and says that they have pulled this off more successfully than anyone else. He says that all other achivements pale in comparison to the AEW World Championship, which he calls the most prestigious prize in wrestling before calling last week's match "a performance" and "fine art" and saying that the fans fell for it all hook, line and sinker. He then says that they needed Jon Moxley to buy into it, and says that while Moxley hurt him, he does not have the intelligence, then says more is coming. Callis stops Omega, saying "they're not ready for it," then says some people make matches and others make money while they make history before Omega bids adieu.
Next week: "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes vs. Angelico! "Hangman" Adam Page, Alex "3" Reynolds and John "4" Silver vs. Matt Hardy and Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy)! The Acclaimed (Max Caster and Anthony Bowen) vs. SoCal Uncensored ("The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian)! Serena Deeb and Big Swole vs. Ivelisse and Diamante!
MJF beats Orange Cassidy to retain the Dynamite Diamond Ring. During the match, Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent) bring out other tag teams from the locker room to root Orange Cassidy on. When Wardlow puts MJF's foot on the rope during a pinfall, this causes a brawl between The Inner Circle and the other tag teams that distracts the referee. As this goes on, Miro attacks Cassidy with a clothesline, allowing MJF to get the win. After the match, Best Friends brawl with Miro and "Superbad" Kip Sabian on the stge, and referees and security try to hold Miro back only for security to be laid back, with one member of security thrown off the stage head-first into the ringside floor.
