Orton mentions winning the Elimination Chamber match, and while he knew who he needed to be to beat Drew McIntyre, "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes beat McIntyre first. He says that he loves Cody and still does, but Cody took that burden off his chest by telling him to be the best version of himself not just for him and the fans, but for himself, and to listen to the voices.

We hear from The Irresistible Forces (Nia Jax and Lash Legend). Nia says it has been years since since The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella) have teamed up and have never won tag team gold, and that they have a snowball's chance in Hell of beating them.

Nia says The Bella Twins will be lucky to survive tonight after they demolish them, and all The Bella Twins can do about it is nothing and like it.

Rhea is right about Cargill saying she needs the title, as she lives for this after having fought for this since she was sixteen years old.

Maclin says that Santana is the one with the ego and that he would still speak up for him.

Swerve says that he has dealt with people with power for a long time, and says that if it were not for The Young Bucks, he would be a two-time AEW World Champion by now. He then addresses Kenny Omega, and asks what good #1 contendership is if he does not have the power to protect it. Swerve says it makes no sense to beat Omega twice and have nothing to show for it, but he has something that interests him: his power. Swerve says he does not want Omega removed from power; instead, he wants his power, and he wants to block out anyone else who thinks they can get it. He tells Omega to offer up his EVP status if he wants his rematch, and states that when he beats Omega, he will become AEW's new Executive Vice President.

After the match, Nick Jackson admits that while The Young Bucks had a great trios match with Jack Perry tonight, they blew it at Revolution and felt for sure they would become tag team champions to the point that their families were in the front row. After Nick admits that FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) was the better team that night, Matt admits he was so embarrassed to look anyone in the eye at his birthday party. It took their father to tell them that they are the best tag team on the planet and that the fans still love them, and that he was proud of them. He says that their father is not wrong about this one, as The Young Bucks know who the hell they are, and that there is no team in the back that will stop them from becoming four-time tag team champions. Suddenly, Adam Copeland and Christian Cage show up, and Copeland admits that they respect The Young Bucks, saying that their match at Revolution was one of the best he had ever laid eyes on. Copeland also mentions how FTR attacked his wife Beth, and while he admits Beth is a badass, he could not look her in the eye. Now that Beth has turned the corner, he has come back to rectify the situation. Copeland says that to do that, he and Christian must take what matters most to FTR, which is the AEW World Tag Team Championships. He announces that he and Christian will face FTR at Dynasty for the tag team titles. Christian says it is also personal for him, too, as winning the tag team titles means he wins "a ton of extra money" and prove that he and Copeland are the best tag team of their generation and the best of The Young Bucks' generation.
