We are introduced to the Spanish announce team of Thunder Rosa and Alvaro Riojas.

Claudio Castagnoli beats Andrade el Idolo in the Blue League of the Continental Classic after sending Andrade knee-first into an exposed turnbuckle before hitting him low.

We see a video package of what happened in the Gold League in last Wednesday's Dynamite.

Abadon beats Jazmin Allure. After the match, the lights go out, and when they come back on, Julia Hart is in the ring. Julia puts the TBS Championship between herself and Abadon, then Abadon hits her with a Spear. This starts a brawl, and Abadon gets the upper hand. Abadon grabs the TBS Championship, but before they can attack Julia, Skye Blue gets behind them. Abadon and Skye Blue look at Abadon, then Skye Blue attacks Abadon with Julia Hart joining in. Suddenly, Thunder Rosa leaves the Spanish commentary table and fights Skye Blue.

Anthony Bowens says they are on a search-and-destroy mission while also being the best trio in AEW. All of a sudden, Action Andretti and Top Flight show up. Darius denies that they were the ones to attack them, and Dante could not help but answer their challenge as to who the best trio in AEW is, with Action Andretti saying they are game. Bowens accepts their challenge for Holiday Bash next week.

Orange Cassidy retains the AEW International Championship against "The Outlaw" Bryan Keith with a three-quarters nelson roll-up.

We hear from Miro. He thought that wrestling poisoned CJ Perry, but maybe it has poisoned him. He says that he wanted to avoid people and drama for so long, but he is The Redeemer and he wants to kick Andrade el Idolo's ass, not because he is CJ Perry's client, but because Andrade is an asshole.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Komander. All of a sudden, Roderick Strong and The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) show up. Roderick Strong says Komander did not win and that this is not good before Matt Taven mentions becoming ROH Television Champion on his first night under contract. Roddy then says he wants to get back on the winning track, and that he has found his next victim in Komander.

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) head to the ring. Cash Wheeler demands The House of Black (Malakai Black, Brody King, Buddy Matthews, Julia Hart) meet them face-to-face if they have a problem with them, as they have a problem with their success while having the best run of their careers while The House of Black is "unrealized potential" and are mad with themselves. After Wheeler says that The House of Black knows where to find them, Dax Harwood says they may not be the most attractive or the flashiest, they do not back down from a fight, then the microphone cuts off. The lights go out, then Malakai Black and Buddy Matthews show up on the video screen. Buddy Matthews say they are not here to hurt FTR, but to prove that nobody in the back has their back and that nobody will save them. He then says everyone loves Harwood, and that only The House love and embraces him. Malakai Black says it hurts them personally when they have to be this aggressive to prove a point, then says that The House did not lie. Buddy then produces a picture of Harwood with his wife and daughter before Malakai sets it on fire. FTR rush to the back before Malakai says that The House is FTR's family now.

Officials - including Adam Pearce - quickly rush into place to stop a potential brawl. After the commercial break, The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) are escorted out of the arena.

Bray Wyatt's original entrance theme hits, but it is really LA Knight holding a tiny lantern while wearing Bray Wyatt's original white slacks, black shirt, Hawaiian shirt and Trilby hat.

He then says that The Undertaker showed up to assist Bray Wyatt "like a turd in the punch bowl" because neither of them wanted him one-on-one, then says Bray Wyatt has 24 years to bring all the advice The Undertaker gave him because his future will be torn up and laid out. Suddenly, the real Bray Wyatt shows up and says that LA Knight is not smiling on the outside and that the time to talk has come and gone. He says Knight will meet the man he has been looking for, then tells him to take his time tonight because tomorrow, "[he'll] see." Uncle Howdy then shows up in the rafters.

The Pinnacle head to the ring. MJF says that he is the "Demo God" and the king of AEW after Blood and Guts, and that he will not be referred to as "the greatest of all time."
