"The Problem" Marina Shafir, Billie Starkz and Athena beat Maya World, Lacey Lane and Yuka Sakazaki in a six-woman tag match.
The Death Riders (Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia) beat Adam Priest and "Dynamite Kid" Tommy Billington.
Satnam Singh beats James Tapia and CD Bennett in a two-on-one handicap match.
Josh "The Goods" Woods beats Angelico by submission in a Pure Rules Match. After the match, Serpentico has to save Angelico after Woods shifts into a Ki Lock, and when he does, Woods puts him in a sleeper hold while yelling "This is your future!" All of a sudden, Nigel McGuinness shows up and says they can do this tonight instead of waiting until Supercard of Honor if Woods wants to take liberties with other wrestlers. Woods says he will wait until the pay-per-view to beat Nigel in front of the world and leaves, and Nigel says he might take some liberties himself.
We hear from Red Velvet, who says that Supercard of Honor is all about proving she is the best Women's World Television Champion of all time. She says that she and Viva Van go way back and have both teamed with and wrestled against each other and knows how talented Viva Van is, and she respects that as well as Viva Van. She then says respect does not change reality and that she made her title important, and that she carries the women's division on her back with pride. Red Velvet says she is the R in Ring of Honor and the V in TV Champion, and Viva Van will be facing the backbone of the women's division, and when the dust clears, she will still be champion.
Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor, "The Captain" Shawn Dean, "Bad News and Tattoos" Carlie Bravo) retain the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships against Eddie Kingston, Ortiz and Mance Warner after Christyan XO distracts both referee Stephon Smith and Mance Warner, allowing Shawn Dean and Carlie Bravo to double-team Mance Warner to win and retain.
"Vanilla Baby" Blake Christian beats Evil Uno by submission with the Vanilla Choke Zero after hitting Evil Uno with a 21-Plex to send a message to Bandido. After the match, Blake Christian hopes Bandido was paying attention, as he has proved week in and week out that he will take the ROH World Championship. He says that it will be like a changing of the seasons, implying that spring will come when he becomes the new champion.
We hear from "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty, who says that he has known Ace Austin for over ten years and has battled him throughout the East Coast, and that he will do it again in Maryland. He knows how amazing an athlete Ace Austin is and knows that Ace got one up on him, so he has earned this opportunity. He then tells Austin that he is in the ring with the best pure wrestler in the world and that he does not have an ace up his sleeve that can beat him.
In backstage footage from after All Elite Wrestling Dynamite, Ace Austin says that he is undefeated in Ring of Honor, and while he has lost more than he has won on Dynamite, he stood toe to toe with Will Opsreay and shook hands with him afterwards. He says failure happens only when you quit, but there is a lot to be learned from loss and has learned more from losses than any amount of wins, which is why he has yet to be beaten in Ring of Honor. Austin says his friendship with "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty does not matter and that their paths are different and that Moriarty has a firm grip on the ROH Pure Championship, but that does not last forever. He says that The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin) has beaten Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor, "The Captain" Shawn Dean, "Bad News and Tattoos" Carlie Bravo, "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty) once and that it is only a matter of time before Moriarty loses that grip and he wins the Pure Championship.
"The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo beats Kaci Lennox in a Pure Rules Match by submission with the Fujiwara Arm Bar. After the match, Purrazzo is attacked from behind by Diamanté, who hits her with the ROH Women's Pure Championship before locking in a Fujiwara Arm Bar.
The Outrunners (Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd) and Dalton Castle beat Charlie Malachite, Baby Keef and Xander Maddox in a six-man tag match.
Backstage, we hear from Athena, who finds it amusing that her opponents in tomorrow night's Survival of the Fittest match have knowledge on how to wrestle her after facing her only once. All of a sudden, Billie Starkz shows up angry at Athena for making things about her, but Athena says that Billie and the entire women's division should be thanking her, especially when she keeps Billie Starkz by her side after everything she goes through with her. She says that Billie and the rest of the women's division would not exist and that there would be no Ring of Honor. Billie reluctantly thanks Athena, who tells her to "follow the damn plan" or else she will have more than her to deal with.
"The Real Deal" Zayda Steel beats Hyan in an ROH Women's World Championship Survival of the Fittest qualifier. (Persephone is out with an injury, and this match determines who replaces her in tomorrow night's Survival of the Fittest Match.)
AR Fox beats "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne with an inside cradle to become the ROH World Television Champion! After the match, Lio Rush - now with a black liquid oozing from his mouth - appears on the video screen, saying the word "Tomorrow."
Before the next match, The Premier Athletes (Tony Nese, Ariya Daivari, Stori Denali) are told that they suck.
The Premier Athletes (Tony Nese, Ariya Daivari, Stori Denali) beat Jacey Love, Ricky Martinez and Ernest R. Alexander in a six-person tag match.
Bandido beats Action Andretti in an ROH World Championship Proving Ground Match. After the match, The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal, "Vanilla Baby" Blake Christian, "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson) show up, and Blake Christian hands the mask he stole from Bandido back to him and making it clear that the ROH World Championship is the only trophy he wants now.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for March 18, 2026
Will Ospreay beats "Vanilla Baby" Blake Christian. After the match, Ospreay admits that he missed the fans, then tells Jon Moxley that the biggest difference between them is that he does not need a weapon to snatch someone's neck and that he can do it with his bare hands. Jon Moxley and Wheeler Yuta shows up from out of the crowd, with Moxley hearing what Ospreay has just said. Ospreay jumps the barricade and goes at it with Moxley in the crowd, and Moxley runs to the ring and has Wheeler face him only for Ospreay to fight back with a trash can. Ospreay has Moxley in the ring, but he is suddenly hit with a pump kick to the face by PAC, who immediately puts Ospreay in the Brutalizer. Security and referees show up to pull PAC off of Ospreay. When The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robbins, Austin Gunn, Ace Austin) shows up for the next match, Ospreay rushes at PAC and manages to get past security and officials to get to him.
The Death Riders (Jon Moxley and Wheeler Yuta) beat The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson and Ace Austin).
We see a video package for Gabe Kidd vs. Darby Allin in a Coffin Match later tonight.
Backstage, we hear from Gabe Kidd. He says that tonight's Coffin Match will be the end of Darby Allin, and that he wants Darby Allin in the parking lot.
In backstage footage from after Revolution, Kenny Omega says that Swerve Strickland is not dangerous to himself as he is to others, and challenges him to put his #1 contendership for the AEW World Championship on the line in a one-on-one match.
In the parking lot, Darby Allin drives up as Gabe Kidd is waiting for him, and he jumps out of his car and brawls with Kidd before blinding him with some sort of fluid. He then shoves him in the trunk and drives right over a ramp made of garbage, turning the car upside-down in mid-air. Allin then somehow gets out of the car, and the trunk ops out with an unconscious Gabe Kidd afterwards. Darby Allin gets away from the vehicle, then gets Gabe Kidd on top of an equipment crate and wheels him out. Darby Allin then pushes Gabe Kidd to the ring with the equipment crate, and the Coffin Match starts.
Darby Allin beats Gabe Kidd in a Coffin Match. After the match, Darby says he will hold the throttle until he sees either God or the AEW World Championship, then tells MJF that he is coming.
We see footage of Jurassic Express ("Jungle" Jack Perry and Luchasaurus) on a bus. Jack Perry packs up, then pulls out a walnut and summons a squirrel, who takes the walnut and runs off with it before Perrry gets on a bus to Fresno, California. Jurassic Express shows up at the venue, where he teams up with The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), who admit that Revolution was a rough night and that they will pick themselves up from a loss and get back on top starting with "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada and RPG Vice (Rocky "Azucar" Romero and Trent Beretta) of The Don Callis Family.
Prince Nana is in the ring, and he introduces Swerve Strickland after bragging about what Swerve did to Brody King at Revolution. Swerve makes his way to the ring. Swerve talks about how he and Brody went to war and how the only real winners of wars are the ones with power. He admits that he enjoyed beating down Brody, but he was not satisfied, as the power in AEW still lies elsewhere, and power is sometimes more important that championships. 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.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Speedball" Mike Bailey, who says that he had to prove himself again and again and believe in himself while wrestling all over the world for twenty years to get everyone to believe in him. He says that people with that kind of tenacity are the people he looks up to, and includes people like Kenny Omega. He says that this kind of mental toughness not only makes a star, but a winner.
"Speedball" Mike Bailey beats Mike Davis. During the match, it is announced that this week's Collision will air after the NCAA Tournament and will air on both Saturday and Sunday.
In backstage footage from after Revolution, MJF says that he has had some of the greatest matches as well as the greatest World Championship reign of all time at Revolution. He says that he feels the effects of his match with "Hangman" Adam Page, but it is worth it because he won on his 30th birthday and has accomplished more than most Hall of Famers. He plans to go down as one of the best of all time and he is ahead of schedule, and while Hangman was in the way, Hangman is off the board and in the mid-card where he belongs while he has a one-way ticket to "GOAT" status for the next twenty years. On the subject of what he will do next when he has the cameraman ask him, MJF says he is going to Disney World.
Backstage, we hear from "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada and RPG Vice (Rocky "Azucar" Romero and Trent Beretta). Okada says he does not care about The Young Bucks' family and that he is only loyal to the Don Callis Family. He says that while Konosuke Takeshita is busy shaking hands with Jon Moxley, they will score a main event victory.
We see footage from earlier tonight of "Timeless" Toni Storm having been attacked. Marina Shafir neither confirms or denies that she did this, and says that if Mina wants to meet the same fate, she made the right choice.
Mina Shirakawa beats "The Problem" Marina Shafir in a no holds barred match with a champagne bottle shot to the face followed by the Storm Zero.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Andrade el Idolo, who wants the AEW World Championship. Jon Cruz suddenly shows up and hands Andrade a briefcase from MJF and shows a FaceTime call from Don Callis. Callis asks Andrade el Idolo to take the money, saying that MJF have paid them to take care of Darby Allin and that he will be the one to do it. Andrade reluctantly takes the briefcase.
"Jungle" Jack Perry and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) beat The Don Callis Family ("The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, Rocky "Azucar" Romero, Trent Beretta) in a trios match after biting The Don Callis Family in the dick collectively to counter three piledrivers. 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. FTR and Stokely - now no longer in a wheelchair - show up, but nobody in the ring wants to hear from Stokely and tell him to shut up. Stokely sics FTR on both teams only for FTR to get laid out. The Young Bucks leave the ring as Copeland and Christian hold the AEW World Tag Team Championships to end the show.
The Death Riders (Jon Moxley and Wheeler Yuta) beat The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson and Ace Austin).

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for July 9, 2025
Mercedes Moné heads to the ring to start tonight's show. She asks "Timeless" Toni Storm to keep their face-to-face meeting civil before Toni Storm shows up on the video screen with Luther. Mercedes says she is sick of the games and that she can master any game, then demands Toni meet her in the ring. Toni and Luther head to the ring, and Toni has a bottle of champagne with her. The two of them have a toast to Mercedes becoming the next AEW Women's World Championship, then Mercedes notes the champagne does not taste right. Toni states that Mercedes has viewed her as an underdog and has the authenticity of spray tan in a rainstorm and the depth of a kiddy pool before calling Mercedes a fraud. She says that she found herself in the AEW Women's World Championship while all of Mercedes' titles are masks for Mercedes to hide behind, then asks what Mercedes is trying to hide. Mercedes says they have walked similar paths, yet she will always be better than Toni, and she is not afraid of anyone or anything, and the more people hate her, the more she will win, and nobody will stop her, not even Toni. Mercedes says that the AEW Women's World Championship is her legacy and that she knows who she is, and that she will beat Toni for the title. Toni says that legacies do not exist and that everyone will die and be forgotten, and that all that matters is the one moment where Mercedes steps in the ring, looks in her eyes, and realizes that she fears an ordinary life while Toni fears an ordinary death. Toni says that while Mercedes feels she deserves all the titles in the world, she does not deserve this one, and she will go down as the woman who could not win the big one. Mercedes declares that the conversation is no longer civil, then the two of them have a toast. Mercedes spits out the champagne, Toni yells "Eat shit, bitch!", and Toni nearly lays Mercedes out before Mercedes is able to retreat.
We hear from Jon Moxley, who says that "Hangman" Adam Page beat him before, but that was long ago and that he has not yet lost a war of attrition. He asks if Hangman will outlast him and hold the line under pressure of expectation, then concludes that Hangman is a victim and a waste before calling him "pathetic." He says Hangman has one chance to prove him wrong, and that he had better walk the aisle like it will be the last time, as he is "all the way in" this time.

Briscoe says MJF needs "a good ol' country ass-whuppin'," which leads to a "whup his ass" chant from the crowd, and while Saturday will be here, MJF cannot berate him because he is proud to be a Southern boy. He says that MJF may be rich and may look rich, but inside, he is bankrupt, and calls "bankrupt" the word of the day, as MJF is morally bankrupt and has no soul, and that MJF is so predictable he can see right through him. After Briscoe says he expects MJF to make fun of his brother Jay Briscoe, MJF says that Jay Briscoe is one of the best. He then says he pities his brother, not because he passed away, but because he has to look down and see what Mark Briscoe has become. He says Jay is rolling in his grave from watching Mark Briscoe go from one-half of the greatest tag team of all time to "nothing more than a joke," and that he would bet that if Jay were here, he would tell Mark it should have been him in that accident. Mark Briscoe immediately goes for the ground-and-pound, but when he goes for the Jay Driller, the rest of The Hurt Syndicate shows up. Before they can get in the ring, "Speedball" Mike Bailey and "The Jet" Kevin Knight go after Lashley and Shelton. Mark Briscoe chases MJF through the crowd as Speedball and Knight brawl with Lashley and Shelton.

She considers the championship the culmination of her life's work as she finds the purity of wrestling more beautiful than anything in the world, and declares she will become the first-ever Pure Women's Champion.

Playoffpalooza - Collision recap for April 26, 2025
Prince Nana and Swerve Strickland head to the ring to start tonight's show. The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) arrive before Swerve can even utter a word. They move Swerve's match against Blake Christian from later in the show to right now, leaving Swerve to wrestle in his street clothes, and watch the match from the top of the ramp.
Swerve Strickland beats Blake Christian. After the match, "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson attacks Swerve from behind as The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) approach the ring, but Swerve outwits him and hits him with a jumping Flatliner. The Young Bucks then rush into the ring and go on the attack. They then lay Swerve out with an EVP-Trigger, and Prince Nana delays the Tony Khan Driver long enough for Kenny Omega to show up. Omega is ganged up on at first, but he soon gets the upper hand. Matthew flees, and he has to save Nicholas from getting more of a beating than he already does.
We hear from Samoa Joe, who says that Jon Moxley is simply motivated and that he and The Death Riders (Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Marina Shafir) love to create chaos. Moxley says he does not face his problems, but distracts them so they cannot find him. He says he will not be a problem that will be distracted or will go away, and that he is coming for the AEW World Championship, and there is nothing The Death Riders can do about it.

Sonjay Dutt shows up, and Lexy Nair leaves before Lethal asks where Sonjay has been while they have been sitting on the sidelines. Jeff Jarrett says that he has been wanting championship gold since the beginning of the year, and that he has been listening to the wrong people. Lethal says he will be taking the reigns from here on in, then everyone else walks out on Sonjay. Sonjay Dutt stops Satnam Singh, but even Satnam wants nothing to do with him now.
"Platinum" Max Caster is in the ring. After stating that he will bring "a playoff-like atmosphere" to New Orleans, Louisiana to the chagrin of the fans and getting his own chant over, he says that New Orleans' streets smell like "horse urine." He issues the open challenge, and it is answered by Hologram.
Hologram beats "Platinum" Max Caster, bringing his undefeated win streak to 23-0.
We see backstage footage from Wednesday where Master P talks about the events that took place when he was in the ring with The Opps (Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, "The Wrestler" Katusyori Shibata) while also mentioning his community work.
Cru (Lio Rush and Action Andretti) beats Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) in a tornado tag match after Leila Gray is knocked off the ring apron after stopping Lio Rush from using a chain, which distracts Top Flight just enough to give Cru the victory.
Anna Jay beats Taylor Gainey. After the match, Penelope Ford shows up and has a staredown with Anna Jay, and when Megan Bayne's theme hits, Penelope Ford hits Anna Jay with a cheap shot as Bayne makes her way to the ring.

Beretta says that the fans will appreciate everything they have done for them after all is said and done.
We see a video package for "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher vs. "Hangman" Adam Page in the men's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament.

After the match, Stokely Hathaway grabs at Adam Cole after Cole checks on O'Reilly so that FTR can hit the Shatter Machine on Roddy, then Daniel Garcia shows up with a crowbar and chases FTR out of the ring. Garcia then goes on to call FTR "two of the biggest fakest pieces of shit he has ever met in his entire life" and tells them that they did not dig the knife deep enough to finish the job during their betrayal. He then warns FTR he will be after them until he gets hands on them and makes them pay.

Collision Course - Collision recap for April 12, 2025
It is announced that Jon Moxley will be replacing PAC as one of the World Trios Champions due to an injury that PAC has suffered in the last week.
FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) head to the ring. He had hopes that Dax would be wrong, but it became clear to him that Copeland only cared for himself and held FTR back to raise up his own career. He says that when Copeland was down on the mat, he had to be the one to do it. He says that he is not the helpless kid that Copeland once saw him as and that Copeland disrespected him as a man, and that anyone who disrespects him will have to pay. Cash says FTR are grown men and will be treated as such. Dax says that last week, he saw a sign in the crowd that said "Why FTR Why," then says "Why not?" He says the fans should be thanking them, as they gave Copeland everything he wanted, as he begged for relevancy at FTR's expense and FTR gave it to him. He says that regardless of what the fans thing, what FTR did was right, and while they do not owe anyone an explanation, he will have fun with this. Dax says FTR was irrelevant for four months so that Copeland could win one more world title and prove he is still the man. He says Copeland is "too damn selfish," especially after FTR has won ten tag titles in seven worldwide companies, then says there are fans and people in the locker room are not happy with, and asks Tony Schiavone to come to the ring. Nigel McGuinness tries to talk Tony Schiavone out of this, but Tony heads to the ring anyway. He tells FTR that they were wrong, and after they brought tag team wrestling back, they turned on Copeland. He also says that he mentioned Dax's daughter being affected by all this. This leads to FTR attacking Tony. Nigel stands up, takes off his headset and heads to the ring before they can do the spike piledriver, and tells him to get out. Daniel Garcia runs into the ring, and Dax shoves him. Nigel gets Tony out of the ring, and FTR help Garcia up before hugging him and leaving. Garcia checks on Schiavone.
We hear from "Timeless" Toni Storm, who says that while Megan Bayne is a monster, the tramp is still the champ. She wishes everyone in the women's Owen Hart Tournament good luck before mocking everyone in it (and praising Kris Statlander).
Jamie Hayter beats Billie Starkz to advance in the women's Owen Hart Tournament. During the match, it is announced that next week's Collision will air on Thursday at 8 PM Eastern/7 PM Central due to the NBA playoffs.
We hear from The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Marina Shafir). Claudio says they expected casualties, but they do not mourn them, for only in death does duty end. He says they are still front and center and that they will accept The Opps' (Samoa Joe, Hook, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata) challenge. Claudio says this will be a lesson for "play wrestlers" who do not want to come to work, and that what matters is in the front line. He says that this will be Hook's biggest match ever, but reminds him that chicks dig scars.
Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona) beat two unidenfitied opponents. (The opponents in question are Smash and Burn [Juni Underwood and Ricky Pryce].)
Backstage, Lexy Nair tries to get an interview with FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) when "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard and "Cool Hand" Angelo Parker confront them. Parker says they can see through FTR's "bullshit" and will not let them pull the wool over Daniel Garcia's eyes. Menard says they will not sit back and let this happen. Dax Harwood accepts their challenge for tonight, and that Daniel Garcia will be at ringside.
Anthony Bowens beats Blake Christian after Billy Gunn helps take out "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson on the outside. After the match, Bowens says this has been a long time coming and that it is time to level up, as he is AEW's "five-tool player" and "the pride of professional wrestler." He says he does not need a trademark to say he is the best because he will prove it every week. He then asks who will be the next to step up and get Mollywhopped by the Five Tool Player.
Megan Bayne beats LMK and Kelly Madan in a two-on-one handicap match.
AR Fox beats "The Jet" Kevin Knight.
Backstage, we hear from Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona). Kaun says they are back, and that they do mind behind hurt. He then challenges The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin) to a tag team match on Dynamite.
Daniel Garcia shows up to watch the next match from ringside.
FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) beat "Cool Hand" Angelo Parker and "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard following two spike piledrivers on a bloodied Daddy Magic. After the match, Daniel Garcia - who confronted FTR for the two spike piledrivers and the attempt at a third one - confronts FTR again. FTR leaves as Garcia checks on Daddy Magic, then return and attack Garcia before hitting him with a spike piledriver. Security and referees show up before FTR can hit a second one, and referee Mikey Posey gets shoved before FTR go for the move again. Suddenly, Undisputed Kingdom (Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) rush in and force FTR to retreat.
Athena beats Harley Cameron to advance in the women's Owen hart Tournament.
We hear from Mercedes Moné, who says that she will be in her hometown of Boston, Massachusetts, where she made her debut and had the biggest dream of holding all the gold. She calls Athena a speed bump on her track to success, and while she is the best, she is competing against her, and at Dynamite, she will show why money changes everything and why the best woman and the one who wins is her.
"The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita beats Brody King to advance in the men's Owen Hart Tournament.

Dax Harwood - who has been fined $5,000 - apologizes to Turner for letting his emotions get the better of him, and personally hands Turner a $10,000 check. He also apologizes to Cash Wheeler for his actions, but Wheeler says that while they will be brothers at Dynasty, but afterwards, they need to talk.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Swerve Strickland. Swerve Strickland says Willow is strong, powerful and brave, and says Moxley is on the hunt for exacerbating Willow's neck issues. He says he is not resting until he has his hands on Moxley tonight.
MVP and Bobby Lashley head to the ring. MJF soon joins them in the ring, and mentions Lashley disrespecting him last week before personally introducing himself to him, then mentions Shelton Benjamin's travel issues and says he will see him down the road. MJF says that Lashley may have been around the block, but this is AEW, and he is standing on the block that he has built. He says he knows AEW like the back of his hand and knows how to stay on top and can help The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Lashley, Shelton) stay on top. He says he also knows that The Hurt Syndicate can help him get back on top to the AEW World Championship, and says that their working together "is just good business" and everyone knows it. MJF says Lashley may not want MJF, but he needs him. Lashley says he will not leave MJF laying out of respect for MVP, then makes it clear he does not like him, does not trust him, and that The Hurt Syndicate does not need him. He then tells MJF to leave the ring unless he can prove otherwise. MJF thanks MVP and Lashley for their time, then leaves the ring. As MVP and Lashley leave, The Learning Tree ("The Redwood" Big Bill and "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith) show up, and as Bryan keith stares them down, Big Bill tells Lashley to take a seat in a metal folding chair that he provides. MVP and Lashley watch as The Learning Tree lay out two unnamed opponents (really independent wrestlers CJ Esparza and Gaige Noonan) for a quick victory. After the match, Big Bill says that they have recently whooped ass and that he and Bryan Keith will whoop The Hurt Syndicate's asses for the AEW World Tag Team Championships at Dynasty. MVP is about to say something, but Lashley stops him from doing so.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Mercedes Moné. Mercedes says Julia Hart is a very mysterious and unpredictable opponent, and that it will take more than tricks and spells to stop the money train. Harley Cameron shows up - with the Mercedes Moné puppet - as Renee brings up Mercedes' upcoming tag team match with her on Collision. Harley says they brought the house down at Grand Slam Australia, and seems herself and Mercedes as "the new dream team." Mercedes tells Harley to stay out of her way, then leaves.
Will Ospreay and Kevin Knight beat Blake Christian and Lee Johnson. After the match, Tony Schiavone announces that Will Ospreay vs. Kevin Knight in the men's Owen Hart Tournament will take place at Dynasty.
Backstage, we hear from The Opps (Samoa Joe, Hook, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata). Samoa Joe says he has heard that the battlefield is changing and that he has had to change with it and come back with a different arsenal in The Opps. He says that after a few experimental bouts, they want to expand their boundaries, and at Dynasty, they will watch and see all. Joe then warns the rest of the locker room not to let The Opps catch them lacking.
Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match (after confronting a Don Callis look-alike in the front row).
Brody King beats Lance Archer.
Adam Copeland beats Claudio Castagnoli after the referee stops Claudio from hitting a Con-Chair-To, allowing Copeland to hit a low blow followed by a Spear for the win.
Backstage, Renee Paquette tries to get another medical update on Willow Nightingale from Swerve Strickland, but Swerve says he is looking for Moxley. "Hangman" Adam Pearce shows up and yells at Swerve, saying he is wasting his time before arguing over old scores. Security shows up to hold both men back almost as soon as Swerve says "I know" when Hangman says he deserved to have his house burned down. After Hangman calms down and walks away, Swerve is attacked by The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Marina Shafir) and dragged to the ring. Claudio joins in on the attack, and Wheeler Yuta pours a pail full of shards of broken glass onto the center of the mat. Claudio then powerbombs Swerve into the broken glass, but as The Death Riders leave, Swerve rises up off the mat in anger. The Death Riders are in shock as the show ends.
