Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for May 6, 2026

Tony Schiavone is in the ring to start tonight's show. He addresses the passing of Ted Turner and his role of professional wrestling on national television and how it found a home on TBS and TNT. He talks about how Turner made National Wrestling Alliance and World Championship Wrestling destination video and how he was there early on, and how, thanks to Ted Turner, it lives on in Tony Khan, Warner Bros. Discovery and All Elite Wrestling. He says that everyone is here today because of Ted Turner, as does Sting, who was also part of NWA and WCW's rise on TBS and later TNT. Sting is introduced, and he heads to the ring. Schiavone links Ted Turner to him and Sting being friends all these years, and Sting calls Turner "an all-in billionaire who loved pro wrestling" who was completely committed and devoted to NWA and WCW, even when NWA and WCW were in the red, as he had deep pockets. He says that nobody would be here tonight, much less him, Darby Allin and the TBS and TNT Championships without Ted Turner. On the subject of tonight's show, Sting says he and Darby took a blowtorch to this place for three-and-a-half years. He says that it is a great night to see Darby Allin defend the world title, then calls Tony Kahn "another all-in billionaire who is keeping the ball rolling." Schiavone also mentions the Turner Techwood Mansions on the TBS and TNT Championships's side plates. Tonight's three-hour show is then deemed in honor of Ted Turner's memory, and Ted Turner is given a ten-bell salute. In memoriam: Ted Turner, 1938 - 2026.



Jon Moxley beats Juice Robinson in an AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match by submission with the bulldog choke after Juice Robinson passes out.



In footage from earlier today, Daniel Garcia talks about their recent 15-hour plane trip back from Japan and how it is The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) against the world. Will Ospreay acts as a base for Wheeler Yuta's sit-ups before Jon Moxley mentions the concept of "death ground," a situation from which one cannot escape and it is do or die. He says that if Ospreay cannot get his neck right, his wrestling career is over, and that it is a privilege for Ospreay to come all the way up the mountain to meet the last one percent. PAC then covers the camera up with his hand.



Before the next match, FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway are accompanied by RPG Vice (Rocky "Azucar" Romero and Trent Beretta), The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay) and Tommaso Ciampa, while The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) are accompanied by The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), Adam Copeland and Christian Cage.

Orange Cassidy beats Dax Harwood in a Double Jeopardy Match. As per pre-match stipulation, The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) earn a shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championships. (Had Dax Harwood won, FTR [Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler] and Tommaso Ciampa would have earned a shot at the AEW World Trios Championships.) After the match, everyone at ringside immediately starts brawling, and RPG Vice (Rocky "Azucar" Romero and Trent Beretta) are surrounded by Adam Copeland, Christian Cage, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and The Conglomeration. RPG Vice are laid out for their trouble, with Christian Cage kicking Rocky Romero in the groin.



We see a video package for Rush.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Chris Jericho, who is now more than furious after last week. He says that the time for talking is done, and it is now time to fight. He then says he will take his fight to the people, and takes the microphone and heads to the ring. Jericho says he is done with the three-on-one beatdowns and "the bullshit," then demands that Ricochet talk to him face-to-face, one-on-one, man-to-man in the ring right here and now. Ricochet shows up with Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona, and Ricochet tells Jericho he tried to do him a favor by telling him to leave, but says Jericho decided to be funny. He also says that the three of them can make Jericho's humiliation kink a reality right now, then admits he is getting tired of this and wants to know what he gets out of facing Jericho. Kaun whispers in Ricochet's ear, which gives him an idea. Ricochet challenges Jericho to a match that Jericho himself created, and that he not only wants to beat him with the "Rico-sault," but also beat him in a Stadium Stampede Match. He also says that Jericho will not be able to find four other tag team partners because nobody in AEW likes him, but Jericho accepts the challenge and says he will find four other partners, and if he cannot, he will take Ricochet's team on alone. Jericho then calls Ricochet bald and hits him with the microphone, then fights off both Kaun and Toa Liona before hitting Ricochet with the Judas Effect. Jericho goes for a Lionsault, but is punched out by Toa Liona. All of a sudden, The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin) show up and run to the ring, causing Kaun and Toa Liona to retreat while carrying Ricochet to the back.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Mina Shirakawa and Harley Cameron. Harley does not know how to feel, but Mina says that Statlander may be trusted, Shida cannot be trusted, and they have a match to win. She tells Harley to stop looking out there and look in her heart, then tears Harley's shirt, revealing her bra underneath. Harley says that the wrath is back as she tears her shirt in half.

Backstage, we hear from JetSpeed ("The Jet" Kevin Knight and "Speedball" Mike Bailey). Speedball says that Kevin Knight will be a double champion, and Knight says that while he appreciates Darby Allin for being a fighting champion, Darby's body will give out and he will become the new champion.

Backstage, we hear from The Opps (Samoa Joe, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata, Anthony Bowens). Samoa Joe says he put out an offer last week, but it is not being heard. He says that men like Jon Moxley are telling Will Ospreay what to think, but he wants Ospreay to think as he wants. He says that he sees the potential in and the tide rising for Ospreay, then asks how much of Ospreay will remain to become champion and says that with The Opps on his side, that could be a very long time. After stating that he has signed Hook up for a movie to give him a better opportunity to succeed, he says that he will do the same for Anthony Bowens and Katsuyori Shibata, then tells Ospreay the choice is his and that his intentions for him are clear. Samoa Joe says he will put his hand out one last time, and if it is not accepted, he will put out his fist.

Kris Statlander and Hikaru Shida beat Mina Shirakawa and Harley Cameron.



We hear from Prince Nana and Swerve Strickland. Swerve says that he told everyone two months ago that he was after power, and that real power is being the one who decides who eats and who starves. He says that from the most dangerous to the most violent, all the way to the most wanted, more power means more fear and more control, and there is nothing more dangerous than a man who wants power, and he wants it all.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Brodido (Brody King and Bandido). Bandido says that Swerve Strickland is right and that he is the most wanted, and if Swerve wants him, he is easy to find. Brody King tells Swerve that it is one thing to mess with him, but if Swerve messes with his friends, there will be hell to pay.

Darby Allin retains the AEW World Championship against "The Jet" Kevin Knight with a Coffin Drop on Knight as Knight is draped on the top rope followed by another Coffin Drop back in the ring.

Moxley says that The Death Riders live in the chaos and thrive in the storm, and that nobody in the world can run with them for long. He says that Ospreay is hell-bent on breaking his neck and has done everything right in his career, maybe up until now, and with the play that he is making, twenty minutes alone with him is a very long time to not make a mistake. He says that Ospreay cannot afford a mistake with the neck that he has, then says it is The Death Riders against the world.

Rush beats Anthony Bowens to win the #2 spot in the Casino Gauntlet Match for the TNT Championship at Dynasty.



Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor). Windsor tells Jon Moxley that while Hayter will chop off the head of the snake, she will chop off the arse, and when Ospreay breaks Moxley's neck, she will put "The Problem" Marina Shafir next to Moxley. Hayet admits that Windsor has held her own and is surprised that she has made it this far, and that she not seen any "toxic spider" or "crazy girl;" instead, she saw "a little tosser" who was afraid to get hit.

Kross says that holding the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championships means they are the best and that they set the standard for the women's tag team division, and somehow, Hyan and Maya World have caught their attention ast ehy desperately try to rise from the bottom. Megan Bayne says they are gracious champions, and at Dynasty Zero Hour, they grant them the opportunity to step into their domain to fight not only for the Women's tag titles, but also their lives, then says that Hyan and Maya World are beneath them, and asks if they can survive long enough to keep them entertained.

Darby Allin heads to the ring. Darby lays his AEW flag on the mat and says that he was once viewed as irresponsible, but now he has proven that he is willing to die for AEW after climbing Mount Everest. He says that he was never going to quit against Jon Moxley and that he is wearing the scars today, then says that The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, Marina Shafir) are not just going to go away and that as long as they are breathing, he will not be far behind.



We hear from Jurassic Express ("Jungle" Jack Perry and Luchasaurus).

Renee Paquette is in the ring to introduce Mercedes Moné, who is not only the longest-reigning TBS Champion in history, but is now the holder of twelve women's championships. When Mercedes is about to show up, Mini Moné shows up in the ring instead. As Mini Moné celebrates in the middle of the ring, the real Mercedes shows up and tells the attractive men on the ramp to get to the back. Mercedes then enters the ring and tells Renee to leave the ring - which she does - before confronting Harley Cameron and Mini Moné for what she calls a mockery of everything she has done for women's wrestling before being mocked by Mini Moné. Mercedes calls Harley Cameron - who is under the table with her hand in Mini Moné - and Mini Moné piy and says they are both desperate for attention when tonight is about her, and says that while she will be talked about fo years to come, the fans still want to mock her. Mercedes says she is tired of the disrespect, then shoves Mini Moné into the cake in the ring. Harley pops up from behind the table, but as Mercedes Moné grabs Harley, Kris Statlander shows up and slams Mercedes into the cake and through the table.



In footage from WrestleDream, Jon Moxley says he did not deliver on what he promised and that tonight, Darby Allin's strength was the deciding factor. He says that one day, it will be Darby's downfall. Moxley says that tomorrow, the sun rises again, and The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, Marina Shafir) go back to work. He says their only competition is themselves and that nobody does what he does and nobody sets the standard that they set. Moxley says that he still knows who he is when he looks in the mirror.

Kyle O'Reilly beats Jon Moxley by disqualification after Moxley punches out referee Paul Turner as O'Reilly has him in the ankle lock. This causes officials to get in the ring to check on Paul Turner, disqualify Moxley, and break up a brawl when The Conglomeration (Mark Briscoe, Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong) and The Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia) all show up at once.



The Conglomeration (Mark Briscoe, Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong) beat The Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia) After the match, both The Conglomeration (Briscoe, Cassidy, Strong, Kyle O'Reilly, Tomohiro Ishii) and The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio, Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, Marina Shafir) brawl, and Marina Shafir hits Tomohiro Ishii with a low blow after Jon Moxley distracts Ishii.

Mercedes says she likes the sound of that, then Athena carries Mercedes away to clean her up and put her through minion training.



"The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and Don Callis head to the ring. Fletcher announces that he has defended the TNT Championship six times and six month and recently retained against Mark Briscoe, who he is now 3-2 against and now done with. He says that he has Mark Briscoe's number and that he could wrestle him a million more times and beat him a million more times, then proclaims that he will be TNT Champion for a very long time. Mark Briscoe shows up and tells Fletcher he does not have to talk so much all the time, then says he was about to leave after tonight's victory until he heard Fletcher run his mouth and had no choice but to retort. Briscoe says that it does not need to be a million more times and asks Fletcher to give him one more shot. Callis whispers in Fletcher's ear before telling Briscoe that while he is a great wrestler and athlete, he sounds desperate, and it is off-putting. He mentions that Briscoe has ten kids at home and that he does not have a family, but a financial burden, and says that his family supports each other and is not a bunch of "bloodsucking leeches." Callis tells Briscoe that he cannot tell him what he wants to hear, but he can tell him what he needs to hear: no.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Mina Shirakawa. Mina says she has not heard from "Timeless" Toni Storm since last week but knows she is said, but together, they are "The Timeless Love Bombs," and they will fight for the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championships. Suddenly, "The Toxic Spider" Thekla shows up and says Mina has not lost everything yet. Mina tells Thekla she has fought her in Japan and challenges her to a match on Collision.

Dynamite 300 - Dynamite recap for July 2, 2025

"Hangman" Adam Page heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Hangman says he has said plenty about how much his World Championship match and how much AEW means to him, and that he made a promise that at All In Texas, he would win the World Championship and show it for the whole world to see. He says that one can wrap a chain around his neck and hang him from the sky, but you would have to kill him to make him pass this opportunity by, and that he will not let anyone get in his way of the title. He knows that The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) and The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Marina Shafir) are coming and that he welcomes them, then tells Jon Moxley to give him everything or give him death, as their match will be a Texas Death Match. Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir head to the ring, and Moxley sees this as Hangman putting all of his chips - his life, health and career - all on the line and all on the table with the AEW World Championship up for grabs. Moxley refuses to go along with this, saying that Hangman does not want this as he is going to lose simply because he does not want to win and he is happy right where he is. He says that Hangman only won the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament because it was not the highest peak, then says that he lives in pressure. Moxley says he is more than the best in the world and the AEW World Championship and that he will show that at All In Texas and show exactly what he is, stating that Hangman does not have what it takes to beat him for the AEW World Championship. He also states that Moxley does not have what it takes to beat him in a Texas Death Match, much less what it takes to walk away from one. Hangman smacks Moxley, and when Moxley strikes back, Hangman produces a fork. Wheeler Yuta gets smacked when he confronts Hangman, and when Marina Shafir hits Hangman with the briefcase and slaps him multiple times, Hangman withstands everything. Yuta grabs Hangman's angle as Hangman makes Shafir slowly back off, and Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli gang up on Hangman as Moxley and Shafir retreat. Claudio soon hits Hangman with the Neutralizer, then Claudio and Yuta join Shafir and Moxley as Hangman rips his shirt off and grabs the microphone. Hangman asks Moxley if this is the best he has, as he is still standing. He also calls Claudio a bitch and a lap dog, and an incensed Claudio heads back towards the ring only to run into Samoa Joe. Claudio teases jumping the barricade with Wheeler Yuta, but Powerhouse Hobbs and "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata show up and join Samoa Joe. Shafir then shows up behind Hangman with the briefcase, but Hangman sees her coming. Hangman hands the briefcase back to Shafir, then walks away before telling Moxley that he will do anything that it takes before hitting Shafir with a Buckshot Lariat.



Mercedes Moné retains the TBS Championship against Mina Shirakawa with an inside cradle. After the match, Mercedes attacks Mina from behind. When "Timeless" Toni Storm checks on Mina, Mercedes hits her in the back of the head with the TBS Championship before licking the cake near Toni's steak dinner and tossing champagne at Luther.



In backstage footage from earlier today, Matthew Jackson surprises Nicholas Jackson with a "Founding Fathers" limousine full of Nike sneakers in the back seat. They then take a tour of the local area in the limo. They check out Rancha Cucamonga, California and reminisce on some memories. After the commercial break, The Young Bucks look at more of Rancho Cucamonga and meet with some old friends before getting back in the limo.

MJF beats AR Fox, Brody King and Anthony Bowens in a Fatal 4-Way Match to enter the Men's Casino Gauntlet at #2 after making AR Fox submit to Salt of the Earth with a leg catch. After the match, Mark Briscoe shows up in a tanktop with the words "MJF has a tiny (kosher) pickle" on it and congratulates MJF, then tells MJF he has guaranteed himself an uninterrupted ass whupping at All In Texas. After the fans chant "Kosher Pickle" at MJF, Briscoe tells MJF that his "blue collar bitch" has ensured him an ass whupping, then says that he is two steps ahead, and dares MJF to have a face-to-face meeting with him in the ring minus The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Lashley). After Mark Briscoe leaves, "Speedball" Mike Bailey and "The Jet" Kevin Night show up and fight Shelton and Lashley, but Shelton and Lashley get the upper hand. Speedball and Knight refuse to stay down, and Shelton and Lashley have to go back to the ring again to ensure they stay down. Knight grabs a microphone and says that he and Speedball are still alive, and says that while Shelton and Lashley may know how to hurt people, they will have to kill them to retain the tag team titles. MVP holds Shelton and Lashley back as Knight wants a one-on-one match with Shelton at Collision.





The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) return to the arena and make their way to the ring.

Swerve says that he and Ospreay are not replacing The Young Bucks as EVP's, saying that the position belongs to the fans, and that Tony Khan is who really runs AEW. Will Ospreay then questions The Young Bucks' courage before Matthew says "Hell no," as they get nothing out of the match. Ospreay says that if The Young Bucks win, then he and Swerve cannot challenge for the World Championship for one year. Matthew says this is the smartest thing Ospreay has come up with, but wants to make sure Swerve is on the same page before they have a deal. Swerve reluctantly says they have a deal.

He then announces that FTR has issued a challenge to any tag team from Mexico on a future Dynamite or Collision. After Stokely quotes the chorus to Nelly's "E.I.," Atlantis Jr. and Templario show up.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for March 5, 2025

We hear from MJF, who says that "Hangman" Adam Page prodded and poked The Devil, and that what he did to Christopher Daniels was "light work." He says he likes to play with his food before he eats it, but now he feels like taking a bite out of his face and proving a point to his fan club. He says he is not hard to find and he has a bullet with his name on it that reads "Hangman." He tells Hangman that if he wants to shoot, then he can saddle up so they can ride.

Tony Schiavone moderates a contract signing for Swerve Strickland and Ricochet's match at Revolution. Swerve and Prince Nana show up first, followed by Ricochet. Ricochet addresses the conspicuous absence of Prince Nana's robe, saying it is in good hands and getting some upgrades before it is seen again at Revolution. Ricochet mentions that Swerve's contract signings have not been great as of late, but at least he is here, so his house does not burn down again. Swerve dryly tells Ricochet to sign the contract, but Ricochet says he needs to time to shine before he signs. He says that Swerve started this as he chose to mock him, yet despite all of that, he still beat him, and that Swerve is mad because he won. Swerve tells Ricochet to sign the contract, and Ricochet says he is one step closer to becoming AEW World Champion and that he is focused on being exactly who he was always supposed to be before signing the contract. Ricochet tells Swerve not to let Prince Nana, and Swerve tells Ricochet to shut up. He admits he started this to expose Ricochet as the fraud that he is, and that he will do it at Revolution. Swerve says that Ricochet made a big mistake in leaving him breathing and that Ricochet will regret it as he carves his way to the AEW World Championship by putting him in the ground after being remembered for two things: Swerve reviving his career and "[his] ring announcer wife." Swerve signs the contract, then walks away before Ricochet pulls out his scissors and charges at Ricochet. Swerve blocks it and stabs Ricochet in the forehead with his own pair of scissors.

After this, Jon Moxley shows up and is angry at Wheeler for having Copeland shake his hand, and shoves him around as he chews him out. Wheeler shoves back and walks off, and Moxley follows Wheeler to the back. Moxley catches up to Wheeler and implies that he will do something to him if he sees him again, then looks into the camera and congratulates Copeland for leaving him defenseless so he can supposedly pick him off. He says that Copeland has pissed him off and rattled his cage, but says the bars were for Copeland's safety and that he will still beat Copeland's ass at Revolution. He says there is no respect in the business and never has been, then says that all he has to do is pull the trigger on Copeland.



We see The Outrunners (Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd) in a training montage as they get ready for the AEW World Tag Team Championship match at Revolution.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews MJF as he waits for "Hangman" Adam Page. MJF says that Hangman is a coward and that he is the main character in AEW. All of a sudden, Hangman's truck shows up, and Renee and MJF run before Hangman gets out to look for the latter. Hangman finally finds MJF backstage and grabs who he thinks is MJF, but he finds out that he has grabbed someone else, who says that MJF made him do it. Hangman is then attacked from behind by the real MJF. Hangman blocks the Heatseeker, then goes for the Buckshot Lariat only for MJF to kick him in the groin, hit the Heatseeker, and remove his shirt to reveal another one saying "MJF did nothing wrong." MJF then goes for the ground and pound, and when security gets in the ring, they all get levelled. MJF then puts on the Dynamite Diamond Ring and goes for the knockout punch, but Hangman hits a Lou Thesz Press and a ground-and-pound before MJF hits him with the ring. MJF then asks the fans if they love when Hangman burns things before asking how "[those] hypocrites" like it when he does it. He produces a bottle of lighter fluid from underneath the ring, pours it on Hangman, then lights a lighter before almost a dozen security guards show up and stop him. MJF is then carried to the back to be potentially thrown out of the building.

She says she will be watching Momo's match with Serena Deeb and says Serena will break Momo for her.



"Platinum" Max Caster heads to the ring. He brags about being the most talked-about wrestling in AEW, and while people are saying all sorts of things about him, he tries to get them on the same page with a "Let's Go Max! You're the Best Wrestling Alive!" chant. Max mocks the fans for their lack of effort and calls them all "a bunch of ballbags," then issues an open challenges that is answered by "Switchblade" Jay White, who beats Max Caster with a single Blade Runner. After the match, Jay White talks about how he and Adam Copeland have had each others back's since Worlds End. He says that Jon Moxley is all alone and that he will be there to see Adam Copeland become the new AEW World Champion.



We see Renee Paquette moderate a face-to-face meeting between "The Glamour" Mariah May and "Timeless" Toni Storm. Mariah May immediately spits in Toni Storm's face, and Toni sarcastically proclaims "It's nice to know that you still care." Mariah says that Toni acts like she is the victim when she started all of this, but Renee reminds Mariah that she is the one who came into Toni's life. She says that Toni is nothing with out her and that the AEW Women's World Championship is nothing without her, and while Toni survived her at Grand Slam Australia, she will not survive her at Revolution. She asks Toni if she is proud of her for being "a sick bitch," then proclaims that she will be the sickest bitch there is when she drags her down to Hell with her and makes it known that she did it better. Mariah asks Toni if this is what she wanted and says that they can have the Hollywood ending they both dreamed of. Toni says Mariah does not deserve the dignity of death and sentences her to a lifetime of mediocrity, and while her life and career will continue, she will only be good and not great while the fans will like her but never love her, as the star she is does not compare to the monster she has become. She says Mariah will dwindle, be replaced and forgotten, and that people will ask what happened to her only to find out what Mariah found out: what happens when you try to kill God. Mariah gets furious, and Renee prays that neither of them seriously hurt each other. Both of them say "Pray for her" at Renee at the same time.



"The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada and Ricochet beat Brody King and Swerve Strickland. During the match, Okada brings the AEW Continental Championship belt into the ring to use it as a weapon, but Swerve hits him with a House Call.

We see a vignette for Hologram in the form of computer code.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Top Flight (Darius Martin, Dante Martin, Leila Grey). Dante says they cannot find Lio Rush or Action Andretti anywhere, and Darius says this is no surprise, saying that Lio became part of the group thanks to Dante and that while Action Andretti held it down when Dante was gone and almost got them to the trios titles when he returned, Lio left him high and dry when he was gone. Darius says he now has to clean the mess that Lio started up, and challenges Lio to a one-on-one match.

Mariah calls Toni a joke and a meme that the fans laugh at before forgetting about her, just like she knew they would, and admits she does not and has never cared about Toni, who she calls "the easiest, dumbest pawn" that she used to dominate the game, and if she has to remind her again at Grand Slam Australia, so be it, because as good as she feels right now, she will get off humiliating her in her hometown. Toni says that she is Mariah's biggest fan and that she has seen everything Mariah has done, and calls her "amazing" and "an inspiration," and says that one day, she wants to be just like her. Toni then hugs Mariah, who then slaps her. Mariah tells Schiavone to get out of the ring before hitting Toni with the Women's World Championship while two referees and two security guards tell her to stop. Mariah then spits on Toni, who then grabs the microphone as two more security guards tell Mariah to leave. Toni suddenly says that she has not forgotten, then removes hasks Mariah what makes her think that their dance is done. She says that she will feel every scar and drop of blood forever, but now, it is her moment in the sun. Toni says the hardest role one will ever play is one self as she strips down to her "Timeless" gimmick, and that the fans have witnessed the performance of a lifetime. She says Mariah may be "the woman from Hell," but she came from her womb, and she will shove her back up there and spit her out, for she is "Timeless" Toni Storm and she is going to "rip [her] tits off."

Purrazzo says she will win tonight's four-way match.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Penelope Ford and Thunder Rosa. Rosa says Daily's Place is the heart of AEW and reminisces about the great matches that she had there, but Penelope says this is the present and that it is time that AEW saw the real star in her, and if she has to tear apart Thunder Rosa to show it, she will. Thunder Rosa takes this as a challenge, and Penelope Ford challenges her to a match and promises to put her in the ground and have something to reminisce about. Thunder Rosa sarcastically tells Penelope that she will make it very fun and very memorable.

Okada says "I'm no bitch!" after The Hounds of Hell leave.

"The Redwood" Big Bill is in the ring. He says that if Powerhouse Hobbs wants to assault him in the parking lot, then tonight, he will make sure Hobbs gets locked up for what he did. Big Bill mocks Hobss talking about where Daily's Place was where it all began for him, then tells him to take his bum knee and get into the ring so he can finish it. Hobbs shows up and manhandles the security guards in front of him as well as the ones that show up afterwards, then gets in the ring and brawls with Big Bill.

Callis says that Kenny Omega is not the same man who faded away into the night a year ago and that this Kenny Omega is bloodthirsty and lacks empathy and will not stop until he spills his and the family's blood. He says that Omega's alliance with Will Ospreay must not be allowed. Brian Cage says there is five of them and only two of Omega and Ospreay, but Callis warns him not to sell Omega short and says a barely focused Omega won three world titles in three months. He also implies there is more than just the five of them.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

"The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita retains the AEW International Championship against "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata.

Bowens shows up, and Caster says this has gone on long enough. He says they are a great team and great friends, but Bowens will not admit he is the best wrestler alive. Bowens says it is time for Caster to listen, as he has tried to protect him everywhere for the past five years and has to live with the truth that he has made him a liar, as he has had to lie about who Caster is as a person. He calls Caster "an arrogant, cocky, edgelord piece of shit" and says the people think that Caster absolutely suck.
