Dax takes the microphone, stating he is excited about the AEW-CMLL partnership and says Atlantis is "the oldest professional wrestler" in Mexico. Dax introduces FTR and Stokely, then asks questions of Atlantis and - much like with Templario and Atlantis Jr. - refuses to let him answer. After two answer, Atlantis punches Dax, starting a brawl. Adam Cole gets in the ring and fights FTR, but he gets jumped by Hechicero and The Don Callis Family ("The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita, "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander, "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher). Templario and Bandido also join in to even the numbers, but as FTR and The Don Callis Family get the upper hand, Brody King shows up and rights them all. Adam Cole, Bandido, Templario, Atlantis, Atlantis Jr. and Brody King soon clean house and leave Dax Harwood as the last bit of opposition in the ring. Atlantis makes it clear he wants Dax, and he chases Dax all over the ring and into the crowd as he gets a piece of him.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews The Learning Tree ("The Redwood" Big Bill and "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith). Big Bill says they have cracked skulls and stacked wins with Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona). Bryan Keith thanks Big Bill for having his back, then Big Bill demands another tag team to challenge, then the Workhorsemen (JD Drake and Anthony Henry) - who have not been seen in over a year - show up, and JD Drake says that they accept their challenge. Big Bill says that if they want their skulls cracked, "then by all means."

Mercedes Moné has a steak dinner at ringside for the next match. Before the next match can begin, however, Julia Hart and Skye Blue attack "Timeless" Toni Storm before the bell. Skye Blue gets ejected, and Mercedes Moné laughs at Toni Storm as the AEW medical team checks on Toni. Despite the pre-bell attack, Toni Storm yells "Ring the bloody bell already!" as soon as she gets back in the ring.

"Timeless" Toni Storm beats Julia Hart after avoiding a top rope moonsault and pinning Julia Hart with a small package. After the match, Mercedes Moné confronts Toni Storm, then sniffs her and tosses her to the match. Mina Shirakawa shows up to save Toni, and Mercedes briefly retreats before going after Mina. She throws Mina out of the ring, then raises up the AEW Women's World Championship before telling Toni to kiss it goodbye and pressing Toni's face against the center plate of the championship.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Ricochet. Ricochet says he is looking for the perfect group of individuals to make his dreams of championship gold a reality, then Lee Johnson and Blake Christian show up wanting to ally themselves with Ricochet.

Mark Briscoe, Tomohiro Ishii and Willow Nightingale beat MxM Collection (Mansoor and Mason Madden) and Taya Valkyrie in a mixed trios match.

In backstage footage from last week after Fyter Fest, Kris Statlander says that since Willow Nightingale is done with her, she is done with Willow Nightingale. She says there is nobody like her on the roster and says this is not good for anyone else, then Wheeler Yuta shows up and says he had to make tough choices to get where he is at, then says he is there for her for advice. He also tells Statlander to stop thinking about Willow Nightingale and what others think about her, and make her own decisions. Statlander walks past Willow, then has a brief staredown with Marina Shafir as they cross paths, much to the delight of Wheeler Yuta.

Here are the highlights for tonight's Dynamite and Collision!

Fyter Fest - Dynamite recap for June 4, 2025

Tony Schiavone interviews Will Ospreay to start tonight's show. Ospreay is embarrassed that he had a fight with Swerve Strickland last week and admits that teaming him with "Hangman" Adam Page was not a bad idea, then says Jon Moxley is the real enemy and that if they could put their differences aside, AEW could be better. He tells Moxley to "piss off" if he hates what AEW has become, as other people like him have given it momentum yet it sucks because he is its world champion. He says that Hangman and Swerve's tiff to stop each other from being world champion cannot be allowed to happen, and while he loves Swerve like a brother and would take a bullet for him, he would take a bullet for AEW first. Ospreay then calls Swerve out for a fight, then Cru shows up. Lio Rush says that Brits like to talk a lot and that Ospreay is doing a lot of talking, then says he has a lot of pent-up anger and a point to prove, stating the worst part of AEW is Ospreay. Ospreay says he would love to get a lot of that anger out, then asks the crowd if they want to see a Will Ospreay tonight. They make it known that they do, and Ospreay tells Lio Rush he will see him tonight and tells Swerve he will see him next week.

Jon Moxley beats Mark Briscoe by submission with the Bulldog Choke despite Briscoe's best efforts to fight out of it.

We see a vignette for CMLL luchador Mistico, who returns next week.

Mercedes Moné guests on commentary for the next match, with her own table, wine and steak.

"Timeless" Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa beat Julia Hart and Skye Blue by submission with a TCM Chickenwing from Toni to Skye Blue. After the match, Toni eats Mercedes' steak as well as some of the garnishment before drinking her wine.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Will Ospreay when MJF suddenly shows up. MJF tells Ospreay to stay out of Swerve Strickland and "Hangman" Adam Page's business, as it is only keeping Jon Moxley the AEW World Champion and because Ospreay has never beaten Hangman. He says both men are animals and that animals eat each other, but Ospreay sees this as MJF trying to worm his way into becoming AEW World Champion again. When MJF mentions Ospreay's son Harry, Ospreay grabs MJF, but is surrounded by The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin). MVP says they have business elsewhere, then wish Ospreay luck in his match before they leave. Lashley is the last to do so, as he straightens Ospreay's jersey out before walking away.

The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, MJF) head to the ring. MVP is able to lead a chant for Lashley and Shelton, but when he does the same for MJF, MJF gets booed. MVP mentions Lashley once living in Denver, Colorado before living in Texas, but when asked of his opinion on Denver, Lashley gives Denver a thumbs down. MVP then says that anyone could put their dream team in front of The Hurt Syndicate, but their dream team could never remove the AEW World Tag Team Championships from them. He wants to know where the best tag teams are if AEW is where the best wrestle. MVP then says that the best is a figment of the fans' imagination, as nobody can beat The Hurt Syndicate for the tag team titles. He then gives the floor to MJF. MJF makes it known he wants gold just like Shelton and Lashley, and that he wants the AEW World Championship back, which means he will have to start wrestling a little bit more. He then addresses Grand Slam Mexico, and states that Mexico believes that their "supposed" top guy is Mistico. He then says that he, not Mistico, is the best wrestler in the world, and states that he sold out Arena Mexico and became the youngest to do so. MJF says this is because he is a megastar, then plugs Happy Gilmore 2 before stating that he sees Mistico as "a big fish in a small stinky pond." He then admits he feels philanthropic, and next week, he will watch Mistico's match. He then says that if he finds Mistico worthy, he just might face him at Grand Slam Mexico. Suddenly, "Speedball" Mike Bailey, "The Jet" Kevin Knight and Komander show up for the next match. MVP calls them "White Sho Nuff," "Bruce Leeroy" and "The Blue Ranger," and Komander takes offense to MJF disrespecting him, Mexico and lucha libre before demanding a match with him. Speedball says that MVP demanded the best and that they have three "international killers" in front of them, much to MVP's laughter, and Kevin Knight says they want a fight with The Hurt Syndicate tonight. MVP declines the match, saying they have not earned it, and states that if they want an opportunity to stand against the tag team champions, they will have to earn it.

"Speedball" Mike Bailey, "The Jet" Kevin Knight and Komander beat La Faccion Ingobernable (Rush, Dralistico, The Beast Mortos) in a trios match. After the match, The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, MJF)returns, and MVP commends them before telling them they have won the prize, and next week, they will face MJF, Bobby and Shelton in a trios match. He then allows for a preview of the beating they will get. Lashley and Shelton get in the ring, but Speedball and Knight get the better of them, and when MJF gets in the ring, Komander joins in on the fun, and the three of them clean house.

Backstage, Alicia Atout interviews Daniel Garcia and Paragon (Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong). Adam Cole says he and Garcia have had their battles in the past, but they have mutual respect and cannot stand The Don Callis Family, who he proposes that they fight tonight. Garcia admits that while he wants the TNT Championship, it can wait, and tells Adam Cole he will see him in the ring.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews The Patriarchy (Christian Cage, Mother Wayne, "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne). Christian Cage says that the thin air in Denver, Colorado cuts off the circulation to the fans' brains, but they should still be smart enough to sit down and shut up while he conducts business. He says "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne had a strong showing at the Best of the Super Juniors, but did not win. Nevertheless, he will keep the momentum going despite facing 14 opponents in 22 days, and this time, the stakes are higher, as he will defend the Ring of Honor World Television Championship in a four-way match while he and Mother Wayne watch up close.

"Platinum" Max Caster is in the ring. He produces a petition declaring that he is the best wrestler alive and asks the referee in the ring to sign it, then gets his own chant going, this time successfully, although he claims it was bad. He then introduces the return of his five-minute open challenge, which is answered by Powerhouse Hobbs, who comes out of the crowd on his way to the ring.

Powerhouse Hobbs beats "Platinum" Max Caster in a 5-minute open challenge in 47 seconds.

Kenny Omega retains the AEW International Championship against Mascara Dorada, Brody King and Claudio Castagnoli in a four-way match.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for May 21, 2025

Tony Schiavone introduces "Hangman" Adam Page and Will Ospreay to the ring to start tonight's show. Ospreay gets security to leave just him and Hangman in the ring after Ospreay says he will not get physical and that neither will Hangman, then asks Hangman if he still drinks as he wants to talk things over a few beers, which are brought to the ring. Hangman does not toast along with him, then Ospreay announces he has petitioned to make their match the main event of Double or Nothing, and tells those wondering why he would go after Anarchy in the Arena that they have no idea what is at stake. Ospreay states that whoever wins their match will have the responsibility of winning back the AEW World Championship, and states that he wants this as he has done everything the right way and he wants to wear the title with pride. He also states that he wants to bring the world title home with a big event coming up in his hometown and with all the sacrifices that he has made, and while he knows how much Hangman wants it, he wants it that little bit more. Hangman says this is the difference between them, and that he knows Ospreay's feeling because he has lived it, and that there is no greater prize or honor than to be AEW World Champion. However, while it is a professional accomplishment for Ospreay, it is personal for him; he does not just want this opportunity, he needs it, as he has wasted two years of his life with nothing but grief, sorrow and hate. He says he has not won a single championship or tournament, and the worst of it was when he was at home feeling like he had disappointed his family, and that he needs this to know that there is some kind of life after those two years. Ospreay asks Hangman what he plans to do about it, and brings up what Hangman did to Christopher Daniels before stating he will not go down that path, then says he is showing up and doing his best, even if it might not be good enough. He says that if he has lost, he has lost leaving everything in the ring and winning the fans' respect, and more importantly, their trust. Hangman asks if that is enough for Moxley, but Ospreay says that he does not know, as he has faced Moxley twice and lost, yet Hangman has won. He then demands that Hangman, knowing that if he can beat him, he can beat Moxley. Ospreay says that Hangman has lost everyone's respect after what he did, then says he is not that guy and that he is just going to show up and do his best, because he is the best in the world. Ospreay says he knows anything that can happen when the bell rings, and if Hangman ends up victorious, it will take more than one person to take the World Championship, and he will have his back. He also hopes that if he wins, that Hangman has his back. Ospreay then tells Hangman to meet him in the desert, as he is calling him out for a shoot-out. Ospreay chugs his beer, then Hangman has a smooth swig from his own bottle. Both men then look at each other on the way out before looking at the men's Owen Hart Tournament trophy and having a brief staredown.

Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir head to the ring. Moxley says tempers are rising, but spoils will go to those that embrace the anarchy.

The Opps (Samoa Joe and Powerhouse Hobbs) and Swerve Strickland beat Jon Moxley and The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) in a trios match. After the match, Moxley and The Young Bucks go on the attack as Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli join in. All of a sudden, "The Wreslter" Katsuyori Shibata shows up and cleans house. Marina Shafir hits Shibata with a low blow, but Willow Nightingale runs in and hits The Pounce before chasing after Shafir. Kenny Omega then shows up and take out Nicholas Jackson, then a table gets introduced. Omega goes for a One Winged Angel through the table on Nicholas, but Claudio Castagnoli saves Nicholas as The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Marina Shafir) and The Young Bucks flee. Samoa Joe then says he has them all on Sunday, then says he is not a waiting man and he wants them tonight.

Backstage, Alicia Atout interviews The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin) and their legal counsel. MVP says this is a momentous occasion to add a fourth member, then says he should ask MJF, who shows up with "Smart" Mark Sterling and a new suit. MVP and MJF shake hands before The Hurt Syndicate leave, then both legal counsels shake hands.

The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin) head to the ring. "Smart" Mark Sterling and The Hurt Syndicate's legal counsel are already in the ring. MVP brings out MJF to induct him into The Hurt Syndicate. MJF says that his mother told him the most important day of your life is when you marry the love of your life, then says his mother never joined The Hurt Syndicate. MVP and MJF make fun of New Mexico before "Smart" Mark Sterling gets the contract signing started. He states that both legal counsels have made sure that both parties benefit, and MJF signs the contract first. MVP and Shelton sign, then Lashley is handed the pen. He take the contract and reads it, but he is still hesitant, and the rest of The Hurt Syndicate has to talk to him. He then signs the contract, then MJF celebrates before The Sons of Texas ("The Natural" Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara) show up. MJF chews them out for interrupting, but Dustin tells him to shut up, as all he does is talk and barely wrestle when he has no work ethic or grit. He says he hates MJF's guts, and while he has the utmost respect for MVP, he wants him to watch MJF. He then says that he and Guevara are "day one guys" and that they did something special six years ago at Double or Nothing, and now, they have an opportunity to win more gold. Dustin dares Shelton and Lashley to hurt him, and MVP tells him to be careful what he wishes for. Dustin says there is nothing they can do that bigger, better monsters have already done. He tells them that this will not be a walk in the park as they fight with honor and their work ethic is untouchable, and if he were a bettering man, he would bet on "the day one guys."

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, who tells "Speedball" Mike Bailey that he is the one who calls him out, and that Speedball will find out why he is the Continental Champion. He says there is a first time for everything when told that Speedball has yet to be pinned or submitted since his AEW debut.

Ricochet beats Anthony Bowens by hitting him with the golden scissors as referee Paul Turner is dealing with Billy Gunn, who wants to throw Ricochet back into the ring after Bowens hits the Mollywhop. After the match, Mark Briscoe shows up with a stretcher, then hits him with it, places him on top, hits him some more, and goes for the Froggy 'Bow only for Ricochet to roll off and run away.

Backstage, we hear from Stokely Hathaway and FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler). He says that FTR are two men who honor the traditional of professional wrestling as much as they are the greatest tag team alive, and want to look Daniel Garcia and Nigel McGuinness in the eye as they sign the contract for their match. He even says that "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard can take part as Nigel signs the last contract of his career.

Renee Paquette hosts a face-to-face interview between Jamie Hayter and Mercedes Moné in the ring. Hayter says that if she is the underdog in their match, then so be it, as people underestimate her only to get hurt and she gets back up and again. She also says she gets things done herself, unlike Mercedes Moné, and that she is a fighter. She says that winning the Owen Hart Tournament means more to her than it does to Mercedes, as it is not just a title shot; it is about not being forgotten. She also says that once again, her back is against the wall, and she laces up her boots and fights hard because that embodies what she is. Mercedes Moné says that she is not worried and that Hayter does not have her figured out, as she is more than a champion; she is a revolution. She tells Hayter that she is looking through her rather than past her and that she always gets what she wants for her destiny is her reality and she will be AEW Women's World Champion. Mercedes mentions her accolades as TBS Champion before stating that this is about more than a championship, but leaving her legacy. She expects Hayter to bring the fight, then says this is where Hayter's chapter finally ends. Hayter mentions that Mercedes is no longer holding the New Japan Pro Wrestling Strong Women's Championship, and says that Mercedes' destiny is to lose everything. Mercedes attacks Hayter, but Hayter fights back and hits the Hayterade. "Timeless" Toni Storm and Luther show up for the next match, and Toni Storm guests on commentary.

Mina Shirakawa beats Julia Hart with a quick pinfall attempt. After the match, Julia attacks Mina from behind, but Mina gets Julia in the Figure Four Leg Lock in the middle of the ring. Skye Blue shows up and kicks Mina in the head, then Toni Storm gets in the ring and suplexes Skye Blue. Toni and Mina both smack Julia Hart around before the two of them play tug of war with the Women's World Championship. Mina hits Toni with the title, then gets the last word with a Figure Four Leg Lock on the ring post.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson), who try to walk out of the arena only to be attacked by Samoa Joe and Powerhouse Hobbs. The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta) soon show up for the brawl, but so does Willow Nightingale and Marina Shafir. Prince Nana shows up with some chains in his hands, and Swerve Strickland jumps in when the brawl spills its way to the ring. Kenny Omega also shows up, and the brawl soon spreads all over ringside, with "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata even getting involved. Gabe Kidd eventually shows up with the briefcase and hits Samoa Joe with it, then The Death Riders and The Young Bucks get the upper hand.

We hear from Daniel Garcia, FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler), Undisputed Kingdom (Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong), Julia Hart, Brody King, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, Powerhouse Hobbs and Bandido at the start of the show.

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) beats Undisputed Kingdom (Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong)...almost.

Wheeler Yuta beats Willie Mack. After the match, Jon Moxley shows up from out of the crowd and hits Wheeler Yuta from behind with the briefcase, then takes a microphone and says he has a lesson to teach Yuta about finishing the job. He gets in the ring and tells Yuta to take Adam Copeland out on Dynamite and ensure that he does not leave the ring under his own power, as he does not deserve a clear shot at the AEW World Championship. He then grabs Willie Mack and tells Yuta to finish the job, and Yuta smacks Willie Mack in the head with the briefcase. Moxley then leaves through the crowd.

Backstage, Mercedes Moné is met by Billie Starks, who hands the TBS Championship back to her before giving her a message from Momo Watanabe: enjoy holding the TBS Championship while it lasts, because at Revolution, she is taking it. Billie then throws a whole cup full of tea into Mercedes' face and runs off.

We hear from "Timeless" Toni Storm, who is in bed wearing a neck brace. She says that the nicest thing about being piledriven on the stage is waking up to panicked doctors and dozens of messages asking if she will ever walk again. She says that it gives one time to think if it was either all worth it or a complete waste of time, as her dreams have been haunted by a woman who will not let her wake up. Toni tells "The Glamour" Mariah May "Let's get lucid," as Mariah can pry the AEW Women's World Championship "from her cold, dead hips" while she leaves her soul at home. She also asks if Mariah wants the spotlight that drove her to her in the first place, and says she can give it to her. Toni then says that if Mariah liked Grand Slam Australia, then that show will be foreplay compared to the Hollywood ending that she wants. She says she does not want or need disqualifications, count-outs or rope breaks, and that no holds will be barred and falls will count anywhere. Toni hopes Mariah believes in God before ripping her neck brace off and proclaiming that Mariah will meet Her.

Justice wants to be the third man, but AJ says he needs Big Justice in his corner. Orange says he has a guy for that: Mark Briscoe, who becomes AJ's other partner. He says he has MxM Collection's (Mason Madden and Mansoor) fashion right here, and that they will whup Johnny TV at Revolution. Orange asks what the word of the day is, and thanks to Big Justice, it is "Boom!"

Queen Aminata beats Julia Hart. After the match, Brody King checks on Julia Hart, but he is attacked with the AEW Continental Championship belt by "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, who then flips Brody King off.

We hear from Kenny Omega. Omega says he was out for an entire year wondering if he would ever wrestle again, and he had to keep hearing Don Callis talk about how "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita beat him twice in one week. He admits this got on his nerves and he is already pissed off, but what he plans to do to Takeshita is not about revenge, but about the International Championship, as whoever holds the belt is regarded as the best. He says that if Takeshita can beat him three times, then it is time for him to admit that Takeshita is better and that Takeshita is Callis' real meal ticket, and that he could never challenge for another championship again as the old him is gone. Omega then says that he has had an entire year to clear his mind, refocus, hone in on his training and sharpen all his dull points to make weaknesses into strengths after leaving his old friends behind and no longer having the baggage of being an Executive Vice President. He says that his focus is on the International Championship, not because of revenge, not because of Don Callis, and not because of Takeshita, and at Revolution, he is taking the title.

He then has to tell Lashley to stand down, then tells Archer to take himself and The Hurt Syndicate more seriously. He also says that The Hurt Syndicate dictate the time and the place, but says he feels generous, and instead of setting Lashley and Shelton loose on them right now, Murder Machines can beat a serious tag team before they talk business.

We see a vignette for Lio Rush and Action Andretti. Lio Rush says they are held back by their pasts and fueled by their present, then announces that they go by the name "Cru."

In exclusive backstage footage from last week's Dynamite, Kris Statlander and Thunder Rosa agree that the next time Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford get in their faces, they will swing on them.

After the match, The Death Riders continue to go on the attack until Undisputed Kingdom (Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) shows up and helps Garcia, Parker and Menard clean house.

"Platinum" Max Caster heads to the ring to issue another open challenge and says that he was disrespected by "Hangman" Adam Page last week, and wants his next challenger to look him in the eye and shake his hand like a man. He then says it will not happen because everyone is afraid of him, then wants to know who will survive "The Best Wrestler Alive." The open challenge is answered by Brody King.

The Outrunners soon talk business. MVP says that if they beat Murder Machines ("The Machine" Brian Cage and Lance Archer), they will get a title shot, and says it is the good and the bad news. The Hurt Syndicate leave, but The Outrunners take it in stride, saying that they cannot lose.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for January 22, 2025

Tony Schiavone interviews Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega in the ring to start tonight's show. Ospreay thanks Omega for joining him in the ring tonight, then things have changed since Omega was gone and that he is no longer involved in The Don Callis Family. He also tells Omega that he has come back at a bad time. Ospreay says he is trying to get the World title from Jon Moxley, but Callis' family keeps getting in his way. Omega mentions their last match and how Ospreay nearly killed him with Don Callis' help to prove he was better than him. He says that Ospreay was not better than him then or now, and that it took diverticulitis nearly killing him to get people to notice him, and tells Ospreay that he will never someone like him. Suddenly, Don Callis shows up, and when Omega charges at him, Konosuke Takeshita attacks him. Kyle Fletcher shows up and joins in, and he and Fletcher go at it in the ring. Takeshita clocks Ospreay from behind, and Omega hits Takeshita with a Dragon Suplex. Fletcher hits Omega with a thrust kick as he goes for a tope suicida on Omega, then Takeshita and Fletcher get the upper hand in the brawl. Murder Machine soon shows up. Ospreay and Lance Archer brawl in the crowd, while Omega has to deal with Takeshita and Brian Cage as the entire brawl makes its way into the concourse. Ospreay and Omega climb up the stands and a lighting truss, respectively, and both of them take to the air to take out The Don Callis Family. Both men then climb on the truss together to celebrate, and Omega tells Callis he will put his family six feet under.

We see a video package for PAC.

Backstage, we hear from Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta and Marina Shafir. Moxley says Adam Copeland is in a different world than the one he left where opponents are more dangerous and Copeland's neck is hanging on by a thread. He says he gave Darby Allin his death wish and that Copeland might get one, too, and if that happens, he will not lose sleep. Moxley says he does not have time for sleep or "relics from the past," as he is focused on the future.

MVP guests on commentary for the next match.

The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin) beat Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) to become the AEW World Tag Team Champions!

We hear from "The Glamour" Mariah May, who says that she is the most disrespected champion in AEW history despite the heights she has brought the AEW Women's World Championship, and says that she has been rewarded with another title match with Toni Storm. She says she will play Toni Storm's game and scramble her brains again, and prove that nobody deserves her.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Toni Storm when Harley Cameron shows up and wishes her good luck. Toni says there's no reason for Harley not to have a match at Grand Slam Australia, and the rest of their conversation ends up being covered in Aussie dialect.

Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews Jeff Jarrett when Karen Jarrett has a word with Jeff. She tells Jeff that "getting in the mud" with MJF is not who he is, but Jeff tells Karen Jarrett he has this. Jeff Jarrett then heads to the ring. He talks about a tag team match early in his career when he and his opponents throw both physical and verbal barbs, and how afterwards, Jerry "The King" Lawler told him not to get in the gutter with his opponents. He says that is good to be back home to remember things like this and that MJF will find out who "The Last Outlaw" is, and that they will settle this Southern-style, take him out to the woodshed and beat his ass. Jarrett then talks about how the fans has inspired him in the last year and giving him the gift of a 57-year-old man believing he can be AEW World Champion, then calls out Jon Moxley. Jarrett is attacked from behind by Claudio Castagnoli, who tells him that nobody gets to Moxley without getting to him first before warning Jarrett to stay out of The Death Riders' (Moxley, Claudio, PAC, Wheeler Yuta, Marina Shafir) business. As Claudio leaves, Jarrett tells Claudio he will have to kill him to stop him, and makes Claudio put his money where his mouth is. Claudio says beating him lifeless is an interesting proposition and that he will see him next week.

Swerve Strickland beats AR Fox after Ricochet shows up with his pair of golden scissors only to be chased to the back with a pipe by Prince Nana. After the match, Ricochet shows up on the video screen, who says that next week, Swerve will hear everything he has to say before revealing that he has Prince Nana held hostage. He says this may be Swerve's house, but he is the new landlord and rent is due.

We hear from The Learning Tree ("The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho, "The Redwood" Big Bill, "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith) backstage. Chris Jericho says this week is a little more somber after last week's loss, and Big Bill says that failures are signposts on the road to success, much to Jericho's disappointment. Jericho says learning moments only work when one actually learns, then he and Bryan Keith ask what Big Bill do after Jericho blames Powerhouse Hobbs for their loss. Big Bill says Hobbs may have won, but he did not beat him because he is the biggest man in the business. He says he will be coming to find Hobbs.

MJF shows up before the next match and tells the wrestler waiting on his opponent - Tyler Shoop - to get out of the ring, which he does. MJF tells Jeff Jarrett that he deserves to give the fans as well as himself an apology after his actions last week. MJF says he wanted to help Jarrett not because he believed in him, but because he was the easiest to manipulate and beat, and says that Jarrett thinking that he will become the next AEW World Champion without him proves he is as senile as he looks. He says that if he isn't after Claudio Castagnoli beats his brains in next week, he will be. MJF then tells Jeff Jarrett that the wrestling business as well as the fans do not love him anymore, as he is about to find out that he is better off making a deal with the Devil instead of defying him.

"Hangman" Adam Pearce quickly beats Tyler Shoop. After the match, Christopher Daniels shows up in a neck brace, and when Hangman gets in his face, Daniels says he did not want to fight him and that he regrets doing so. He says approaching him was like pouring gasoline on a fire and that he let his insecurities get the best of him and make him accept the most violent match against the most violent man. He says he regrets getting in a Texas Death Match with Hangman, as his doctors have advised him to never wrestle again after the damage done to his neck from that match as well as over the years. He tells Hangman "You win," and that this is goodbye, and hopes that Hangman can be happy.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Mercedes Moné. Mercedes says she is now a global champion and cannot wait to see who faces her next when Harley Cameron shows up with a guitar and challenges her through song. Mercedes says Harley has not won a match in AEW yet and gives her a hard no, then leaves.

Jamie Hayter beats Julia Hart after countering Hartless with the Faith Breaker followed by the Hayterade. After the match, Jamie Hayter says she has a heavy respect for women like Julia Hart who do what they want to do, then says they have both one won match and that if Julia wants a rubber match, she has it.

Backstage, Powerhouse Hobbs tells "The Redwood" Big Bill that he does not have to look hard for him next week, as he will be waiting for him in the parking lot.

Backstage, we hear from Prince Nana and Swerve Strickland. Strickland tells Ricochet he will need his scissors to come at him, and that in two weeks, he will finally get his hands on him. Swerve then says that he might get his hands on Ricochet sooner than that.

We hear from Brody King, Buddy Matthews and Julia Hart. Brody says they had a voice to guide them, and that it was once deafening but is now silent. Buddy and Julia Hart both say that they are on their own and that it is just them. Brody says it is just them and violence, and that when they bark, they bark together.

Adam Copeland beats PAC. After the match, it is revealed that the rest of The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Marina Shafir) are holding FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and The Rock 'n Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson), and Claudio hits Ricky Morton with a Con-Chair-To. The Death Riders soon show up and surround the ring, then gang up on Copeland until "Switchblade" Jay White shows up and fights his way to the ring. Moxley goes for Blade Runner on Moxley, but Yuta hits him with a low blow. The numbers game catches up to Switchblade, who is held back as Moxley puts Copeland in the bulldog choke.
