Title Tuesday - Dynamite recap for October 8, 2024

We hear from Jon Moxley, who says that "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson has been trying to "kamikaze" himself for the last two years and that it has been disconcerting to watch. He says that nobody as of yet possesses the constitution to do it for him, and that as things have turned it up, it has to be him. He says that this is a wake-up call for AEW that nothing lasts forever, and that the fans are living in a fantasy world and will see the truth at WrestleDream. He says there is a dark side to Danielson, saying that Danielson in the ring is a beautiful thing, but when he is provoked, he is truly terrifying. Moxley says Danielson has never been truly comfortable with that part of him, and that as his world closes in around him, he will truly embrace his dark side, and he will be ready. Moxley says there is not enough people in the state of Washington to stop him and what he stands for, as The Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, Wheeler Yuta) is too powerful and no weapon can be formed against them. He says he will run into the mouth of war and beyond, and warns everyone to run while they can. Moxley then says that he hopes Danielson understands that it has to be this way, then says he cannot be worried about that now because they stakes are too high.



We hear from "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson, who says that tonight will not be his last match on Dynamite when he and Wheeler Yuta run through Claudio Castagnoli and PAC, and that Moxley that he has no idea of what is coming to him at WrestleDream. He says he has been a supporter and friend of Claudio for over twenty years, but tonight, there will be support; only him "kicking [his] fucking head in."

Jeff Jarrett guests on commentary this week.

Darby Allin calls out Brody King. Darby says Brody could have asked nicely, but he knows what he is doing. He brings up their history on the independents, the point that Brody King was at in his career while he was signed to All Elite Wrestle, and how he got Brody a job in AEW after ROH shut down. He says that Brody does not take AEW for granted much like he does, saying that both of their fathers retired and he was able to buy his parents a house. He then says Brody wants his spot as the face of the company, and says that he made it in AEW when he was the guy who was not supposed to make it. Brody says Darby is right, as he has everything he wants, but he does not take it for granted. He says Darby has a death wish, and asks what will happen if Darby were to go to Mount Everest and die, then says Darby can lie to everyone all he wants when he needs someone to save him from himself at the end of the day. Darby dares Brody to put him out of his misery and take his spot, even going so far as to egg him on as bluntly as possible, but Brody tells him to get up out of the corner. Darby slaps Brody, but Brody punches him back. Brody grabs Darby, but Darby hits Brody with a rock. Brody is busted open by the time security shows up, and Darby is still egging Brody on.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Lance Archer and Jake "The Snake" Roberts. Don Callis shows up and meets with Jake Roberts, saying he has concluded the first ever management-to-management transfer in AEW history, and announces that Lance Archer is now with Callis.

When asked who he received in trade, Roberts says "You like surprises? Well, so do I."

As the three of them raise their fists in the air, so does Roberts, and it is revealed that they are now potentially under Roberts' management.



Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Mark Briscoe. Mark says "The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho has messed up and did not have to take things far, then tells him he does not want him in the place that he is at. He then says it is no longer about the ROH World Championship and that he is going to hurt Jericho.

Daniel Garcia heads to the ring. He says that it is great to see the fans and that he has missed being in the ring, then thanks Tony Khan for giving him this time. He says he has had time to think while sitting at home about what is best for him, and that he does not want to be a guy who does not follow up on his word or disappears without an explanation, and that he would rather tell everyone what he is going to do. Garcia says he can do whatever he wants, because he is one of the best professional wrestlers in the world, and because of that, it is only right that he stays where the best wrestle in AEW. Garcia then promises that the is not the same guy who gets "little bro'd" by everyone in the back and complains when he loses a match, but the guy who builds AEW and starts changing everything in the company, and he will start with gold around his waist. He announces to all champions that he is not safe, because they have what he wants, and that "the feeling is restored."

Mercedes says everyone wants to jump on "the money train," and says she has all the respect in Emi Sakura, especially when she has been wrestling longer than she has been alive, before snickering. She says it is not the first time she will throw a coin or the last, because money changes everything.

Backstage, Daniel Garcia is welcome back by the locker room, then runs into "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata, who says that the TNT Championship will be around his waist before welcoming Garcia back.

"The Glamour" Mariah May guests on commentary for the next match.

After the match, Willow confronts "The Glamour" Mariah May on the stage, and while she catches the slap, Mariah headbutts her before hitting her with the Women's World Championship.



Backstage, we hear from The Learning Tree ("The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho, "The Redwood" Big Bill, "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith). Big Bill says the people who need lessons the most want them the least, then The Learning Tree meet with Rocky "Azucar" Romero to help him with his self-esteem, with Jericho saying that The Conglomeration do not have faith in him and that he still ended up on his back while his friends celebrated in the ring when they faced The Learning Tree. When Jericho asks Romero if he is a lackey, Romero says he is no man's lackey, but Jericho says they are just trying to teach him a lesson. Big Bill says that "When you're in the picture, you can't see the big picture." Bryan Keith demands that Jericho be respected as the next ROH World Champion, or else.



"Switchblade" Jay White beats Cody Chhun. After the match, Jay White says that "Hangman" Adam Page is one of two men who knocked him off his path to the AEW World Championship and is therefore one of two wrongs that he must right. He says that he made it very clear to Hangman last week, then asks what he is going to do about it, saying that Hangman will not be quiet about it and will be coming for him because he meddled in his business. Jay White says this is exactly what he wants, and that he wants Hangman in a match once more. He then says that when he puts an end to the new Hangman, then he will right the other wrong and move on to the gold. Jay White then addresses the same voices that have booed and despised him for years, saying they have willed "Hangman" Adam Page into existence, and says the road to the world championship starts with Hangman at WrestleDream.



Backstage, we hear from Hook, who says that he is done chasing whoever attacked his father Taz. Kip Sabian accidentally backs into him, and pleads that he did not do it and that he does not know anything before running away. Hook says he will be in the arena all night, then The Patriarchy (Christian Cage, "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne, Mama Wayne) show up, with Christian Cage asking if he has seen Sabian. Hook says he hasn't (even though he clearly has), and asks if Christian has anything to say to him. Christian says they are both family men who have "been through it this past week," as he has lost Killswitch to a serious medical situation last week and sympathizes with Hook on the loss of his father. The Partriachy leave.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "The Glamour" Mariah May when Willow Nightingale attacks Mariah and says she has said enough before stating she has beaten three former Women's World Champions before saying she will make Mariah a former champ and become the new champion.

Mercedes Moné retains the TBS Championship and the New Japan Pro Wrestling Strong Women's Championship against Emi Sakura after grabbing onto the ring skirt, distracting referee Stephon Smith so that "The Brickhouse" Kamille can hit a cheap shot. After the match, Mercedes and Kamille are about to gang up on Emi Sakura when Kris Statlander slides into the ring and brawls with Kamille when Mercedes retreats. Statlander quickly gets the upper hand, and Mercedes has to hold Kamille back.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy). Stokely Hathaway shows up and says that Private Party has been knocking opportunities out of the park for the past two weeks, then says that he has taken down the most lovable person in All Elite Wrestling. Stokely says that if he can do that, then he can work wonders for Private Party, who he says all the tools and is just missing him. Marq Quen wants to know where Stokely was when they were suffering, then says "Thanks, but no thanks." Stokely leaves, then Isiah Kassidy says that for the first time in five years, they are making moves and doing it themselves, and that they need the AEW World Tag Team Championships. He says The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) are complacement, but they will put the chip back on their shoulders and take their spot when they become the new tag champs.

Tony Schiavone interviews Will Ospreay in the ring. Ospreay says that last week was supposed to be him beating Ricochet and moving on, but now they are equal because of "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita. He says he has been a part of The Don Callis Family (Callis, Kyle Fletcher, Takeshita) and knows how they operate, and that he knows Takeshita does not do anything without Callis' go-ahead. Ospreay then calls Don Callis out, saying that they need to have a chat. Callis shows up, and when he goes for the hug, Ospreay wants none of it. Callis says that last week was difficult for him emotionally, and that he hates to see Ospreay unhappy. He tries to get Ospreay to remember the good times they had last year, but Ospreay is not having that either, and he demands that Callis tell him if he sent Takeshita out to attack him. Callis says that Ospreay is asking the wrong question, but Ospreay tells him to stop stalling. Callis says Ospreay does not need to know that, and as Ospreay demands that Callis stop dancing around his question, Callis finally flat out says that he sent Takeshita out of frustration because Ospreay would not listen to his advice, and that he had to show him who makes the decisions in the family. Callis then mentions the tag team title loss, saying Ospreay dropped the ball because he was too mentally weak to do what needed to be done. Ospreay says that if Callis would have kept his nose out of his business, he would have been a tag team champion as well as a world champion. Callis said he had the best wrestler in the world, but he threw him in the garbage for Ospreay, and that maybe he should throw Ospreay in the garbage. Ospreay says he cannot believe that he had any respect for him and calls him "utter scum" before telling him that they are done. Callis slaps Ospreay, and Ospreay drops the International Championship before grabbing Callis andthrowing him across the ring. Takeshita runs into the ring and fights Ospreay, and both men brawl before Kyle Fletcher pulls Ospreay away from Takeshita. Fletcher and Ospreay argue, and Takeshita suplexes Ospreay before Callis tells Fletcher to hit Ospreay with a screwdriver while Takeshita holds Ospreay down. Fletcher leaves the ring, and when Callis tries to stop him, Fletcher almost attacks Callis. Takeshita stands between them and tries to reason with Fletcher, but Fletcher walks off and Ospreay brawls with Takeshita again. Callis then grabs Ospreay from behind, and Takeshita knocks Ospreay out with an elbow strike. Ricochet shows up and attacks Takeshita as Takeshita holds up the International Championship, forcing Takeshita to retreat.



Backstage, we hear from Top Flight (Darius Martin, Dante Martin, Leila Grey) and Action Andretti. Darius says people keep asking them how they feel after losing number one contendership on Collision. Darius says they are pissed off, because they know they are better than the other two teams they faced and should be facing The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) for the tag team titles. Dante says that they beat The Young Bucks, and that there is no reason they should not have a title match. Andretti says there is a reason, and it is because they are not fired up and constantly complaining. Leila Grey butts in, saying Andretti is the reason as he constantly steps in and messing everything up. Andretti says he did what was best for them, but Leila says he screwed them. Andretti says they do not get it, and leaves. Dante says Andretti is "all go, no thinking," and that this will not stop unless they fix it.

We hear from "Scapegoat" Jack Perry, who says there is a lot to say about "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata, as he is a legend and the embodiment of fighting spirit, but he wants to know if Shibata is still one of the best. He syas that Shibata lets his phone do all the talking, but he wants to have a conversation with him in his native language: violence. He says he wants to face the Shibata who almost killed himself in the ring because he was willing to fight that hard and wanted to sacrifice that much. He says that Shibiata may deserve the TNT Championship, but it is really about what Shibata is willing to take, then says the TNT Championship proves he is one of the best and dares Shibata to take it from him.

"The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson and Wheeler Yuta beat The Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli and PAC). During the match, PAC grabs the ring bell hammer, and as "The Problem" Marina Shafir distracts referee Rick Knox, PAC tries to hit Danielson with the hammer only for Wheeler Yuta to take it away. Claudio confronts Yuta, and Danielson locks in the Lebell Lock. Despite everything going on at the ring apron, the referee notices this, and PAC taps out. After the match, Jon Moxley tries to get in the ring, but Danielson sees him coming and fights him. Meanwhile, PAC boots Yuta off the ring apron. Danielson and Moxley take their brawl to the back as Shafir gives Yuta a beating, with Claudio and PAC joining in. Claudio then hits Yuta with the hammer as Shafir and PAC hold Yuta down, then Danielson and Moxley's brawl spills back into the ring. Shafir gets Moxley out of the ring as Danielson takes out both PAC and Claudio, forcing them and Shafir to retreat.

Britt says she remembers when Mercedes had to watch from the audience on crutches last year and says that there was a D.M.D. before the CEO. Britt then signs. Mercedes mocks Britt and says the fans only like her because they see themselves - a loser - in her, which leads to a "Shut the fuck up" chant. Mercedes responds that they all came to see her and that Britt is her biggest fan, then wants to know if Britt is all in. She says she has been all in since she was ten years old and that Britt will not go all in like here because she is not like her, and that Britt will never be her. Britt says she has the guts, the heart and the balls because she had two "Plan A's" and has been one of one, yet admit that she admires Mercedes and wants to be her, as she walked so that she could run. She then says that Mercedes is no longer that girl and is a smug, arrogant asshole who cares more about her legacy than about anyone like her, then tells Mercedes to find that version of herself as it is the one she wants to face. Britt then says she is going to follow the rules and not attack Mercedes, then says Kamille is getting on her nerves and hits her with the microphone. Mercedes and Kamille retreat.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Learning Tree ("The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho, Big Bill, "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith). Jericho says something has been bothering him on the way to "Cardiff, England," and that "The Dynamite Kid" Tommy Billington has no right to call himself "The Dynamite Kid" despite his blood relations as he is nowhere near as good as him. He says that he does not even deserve to be on Dynamite and that tonight is a chance to prove himself.

Security stands behind both MJF and Ospreay as they stand in opposite corners of the ring, and Ospreay talks about his incredible journey in pro wrestling and how he has wrestled everywhere in the UK. Ospreay says that Sunday will be all about cleaning up the mess MJF made, then says everybody might as well call him Barry Scott, because "Bang! And the dirt is gone!" MJF says jam-packed arenas have chanted his name twice as loud as they ever have Ospreay's as the crowd chants "Who are ya?", and says he did not have to be "a cute little flip merchant;" instead, he had to do the Kangaroo Kick. He also talks about how he came back to action before being fully rehabbed because he was begged by top brass from AEW and Warner Bros. Discovery to clean up Ospreay's mess, then calls Ospreay "an arrogant little pick." Ospreay says "Do me a favor, look in the mirror, shut up, you bellend," then says everyone in the UK was giggling when MJF was AEW World Champion until the joke went on too long and made the main event into a travesty. Ospreay also mentions that Tony Khan told him to put on a good wrestling match because he could not rely on MJF to do it, then says that AEW is supposed to be the alternative that caters to the fans and that Sunday is all about bringing back and being the feeling. MJF say that of "all the crap" Ospreay mentioned, the only thing Ospreay got right is that he does not care about the fans; instead, he only cares about winning. He mentions Tony Khan saying that AEW would be safe in Ospreay's hands while he was injured, then asks "Who the hell are you?" and says the fans only know about Ospreay is because they are "Redcoat terrorists" and that everyone loves MJF. MJF then says that he many in the business agree that he is the best in the world, then asks Ospreay told him he was the best, and when Ospreay says it is the fans, MJF says the fans no nothing about wrestling because they like his matches. He says Ospreay can keep being the feeling, because "Friedman is facts," and talks about how he headlined last week's All In before bragging about being an American and how Ospreay is second place to him. MJF then says Ospreay has one move in the chamber - the Tiger Driver '91 - and that he is afraid to pull the trigger. He then says Ospreay is the feeling, but he is the facts, and "facts don't care about your feelings." Ospreay says the history books can be rewritten, then tells MJF to go all over Europe, Oceania and Japan, where he will find out that Ospreay is considered the best. Ospreay says it took him four years to win the people over while it only took four bars of his theme song, and MJF blows up and says the people loved him until Ospreay ruined it. MJF then fesses up and says he could never be like Ospreay, then admits he was able to spend time with his wife and "so-called" son because the son is from a previous marriage and Ospreay raised him as his own. MJF then says that the next kid Ospreay's wife has won't be his, either. MJF then says that the next kid Ospreay's wife has won't be his, either. Ospreay then tells Tony Schiavone what the fine is for violating the no physicality clause of the face to face meeting, and finds out it is £100,000. Ospreay says it is worth it and punches MJF, and security moves into place. Ospreay says it is worth it and punches MJF, and security moves into place only to be laid out.

Nigel McGuinness introduces Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana to the ring. Shortly afterwards, Nigel shakes Swerve's hand, then makes fun of "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson's physical condition and says Swerve is in the best condition of his life. Nigel then asks Swerve how it feels to be coming into his match as the overwhelming favorite, and Swerve says he is the most dangerous man in AEW because of the pain he endures and inflicts as well as those he has defeated to become and remain World Champion. Swerve names off the ones that he has defeated to remain World Champion, and says he will "purposely, menacingly and scientifically" dissect Danielson at All In. Swerve says that while he appreciates Danielson being the legend that he is, he still cannot help but feel disrespected by him, as Danielson says he is "ready for retirement" and that he wants to take that moment away from him. He says that he is going to do something that keeps Danielson from ever getting in the ring again and decimate him, and says that if he ever gets the itch to wrestle again, he will beat him down again. Danielson then shows up and runs to the ring, and he hits Swerve the Busaiku Knee. Swerve and Nana retreat before Danielson says he does not talk about himself for twenty minutes and that he knows who he is. Nana holds Swerve back as Danielson says he is "the best fuckin' wrestler in the world" and has been for the last twenty years, and tells Swerve that he will have to "damn near kill [him]" as he will leave his soul in the ring. He says there has been a lot of talking and fighting tonight, and that there is one question left: "Can Bryan Danielson, the American Fuckin' Dragon, beat Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Championship?" Danielson then says that both Swerve and the fans know the answer.

He says Okada looks like he cannot afford a gym membership, that Swerve missed the public speaking course in business school and that Will Ospreay is nowhere on his level or the level or the level of anyone he has ever beaten. MJF then tells Ospreay that he is the best in the world after doing the impossible by becoming the face of AEW in five short years, creating the sport's biggest moments and going from the most hated to the most beloved. After mentioning that people are trying to slander his name and revise his legacy, Rush suddenly shows up and says MJF is just like the American fans in that he never shuts up, then says he has been working hard since MJF has been gone.

MJF admits that Rush is talented and has managed to make a name for himself in Mexico and AEW and beat some of the best, then says he is the best before getting Rush angry to the point where both men brawl. Interim EVP Christopher Daniels shows up with security and referees, and it takes a while for everyone to separate both men.

Wardlow says the payment for his sins cannot be delayed any longer, and he will be the one to bring the Devil to his knees.

Samoa Joe heads to the ring. He says that he is here to seek answers, and says that while he was asking the right questions, he may not have asked the right people. He says that The Devil has been attacking people week after week, and while his victims have been seen being attacked, MJF was just seen on the ground. Samoa Joe then demands that MJF head to the ring and answer some questions right now, and MJF arrives. MJF asks Joe if he is accusing him of being The Devil, and finds it interesting, as he remembers Samoa Joe having his back and declaring him his property, and says Joe only cares for his property as much as his diet. MJF then says he has some accusations of his own, saying that he does not remember The Devil's minions laying a finger on Samoa Joe, and says that he does not like or trust Joe to the point that they might as well not wait to fight until Worlds End. MJF shoves Joe, but when Joe is about to shove back, masked men all clad in black suddenly flood the ring. Joe and MJF fend them off, but more show up from over the barricade and surround the ring. The lights then go out, and when they come back on, The Devil appears on the video screen followed by a message of "Where can you go? Who can you trust?

He says there are serious implications for the TNT Championship, starting with "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson and Swerve Strickland squaring off for a shot against him and his championship this Saturday on Collision. He thne says that if Swerve wins the match, it will be fine by him, as Swerve left a bad taste in his mouth after costing him the match against Sting and Darby Allin at All In.

He then demands the return of the AEW World Heavyweight Championship. Jay White says he was going to return it until MJF decided to be rude, but MJF says he knows Jay White better than Jay White because he used to be that, and that Jay White does not care about anyone else and will use, abuse and main employee and that Jay White could give less of a shit about Bullet Club Gold and is using them to get to where he wants to be because it is part of his playbook. He then says that when he wakes up, he does the hard thing and tries to be a better man, and while it is his hard, it is working because he does not punch out the mirror's reflection and he has earned the fans' respect. MJF says there are two things he cares about right now - Adam Cole and his legacy and livelihood in the AEW World Heavyweight Championship - and states that holding the AEW World title makes one the best in the world. MJF admits that if Bullet Club Gold was not in the ring, he would have broken Jay's neck and taken back what is his, and that he knows he is very talented, and while he may one day be the AEW World Heavyweight Champion, that day is not today. MJF then tells Jay White to dig deep, be a man, show some dignity and show some respect to everyone and return the AEW World Heavyweight Championship that he has not yet earned. Jay White refuses, saying MJF has to earn it, and tells him to be patient and that he will earn his chance to face him for it and fail. He then dares MJF to find three other people who can tolerate it and beat the four of them, and says that maybe then, he can return the belt to him. "Rock Hard" Juice Robinson then announces that next week, there is a Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal for a chance to win the Dynamite Diamond Ring and that he will be in it and beating MJF and taking his ring, and after he takes everything MJF loves, he will give him a present: a roll of quarters with the word "Friedman" on it.

He then addresses telling Edge to go fuck himself last week as well as Copeland stating that Nick Wayne and Luchasaurus will turn on him as soon as they get the information they need, proclaiming that he did not pick up some ragtag tag team, dress them up like it was Halloween and convince them that they were tough guys and that he is their father, not their leader. He also admits that Edge almost made him smile at the attempt of reuniting as a tag team, saying that the same sentiment was not there a few years ago when he was being deliberately held back despite being more talented while Copeland was being pushed to the moon, and asks where Copeland's tag team aspirations were back then. He then says that Copeland's career is on a downward slope while his continues to reach new heights, for he is the most talked about in the business. Christian Cage then tells Adam Copeland that Copeland needs him, not the other way around, then says he does not blame him for being a fan, as "Beth Copeland is also a huge fan." Christian then admits that he is getting bored and that he will unleash Luchasaurus and have him end Copeland once and for all, then tells Copeland to take solace in the fact that his daughters will be well taken care of as their new father is coming home. Adam Copeland runs into the ring, and Nick Wayne grabs Copeland by the ankle, allowing Luchasuaurs to hit the Extinction lariat before the bell.

Under House rules, any team can challenge them for the titles; however, there will be twenty second count-outs, and no rope escapes, and disqualifications are enforced on a "dealer's choice" basis, as it is fair and balance is all that they have.

"Absolute" Ricky Starks heads to the ring. He says it is no secret that for the past few months, he has dealt with interference form The Jericho Appreciation Society, and it is clear that Chris Jericho does not want a rematch against him. Starks says he accepts that rematch will not happen and that he will move on from Chris Jericho, then pulls out an open contract for an open challenge for a match against him at Revolution and says somebody wants to be on the show and face him. Chris Jericho shows up and says Starks is trying to bait him into another match and that Starks is not done with him until he says so.

When Jericho confronts Starks for questioning his ability, Starks tells Jericho that he genuinely believes he can beat him. Jericho says he can beat Starks because he is Jericho as he takes the contract, and even says he would sign the contract and bar The Society from ringside right now.

Danielson says he will do everything to beat MJF at Revolution for the AEW World Championship, then focuses on MJF saying that he hates him last week. He says that MJF tried to break the arm of a friends' arm, put a bounty on his head and hospitalized William Regal, and yet he is the man MJF hates. MJF says he knows who Danielson is and who he himself is, then says he has been stranded from anyone he has gotten close to, thrown away by people who loved him, and met a girl who convinced him that not all people are bad only to leave him. He says she left him because he is unlovable, and the only thing he can trust and gives him love is the "Triple B" and the only thing keeping him from grabbing a fistful of pills and calling it a day. MJF then says that instead, everyone looks up to Danielson, who he says has a family - which he will never have - that he takes for granted, and says he hates Danielson not because of his skill, but because he is still in his sport. He says that every time Danielson gets in the ring, it states that he considers wrestling more importantly than family, then calls it a spit in the face to everything he takes for granted. He then says that he is worse than Regal and still wanting the spotlight, then says he will give him that spotlight when he punishes him for trying to take the one thing he has left in his life as well as what he has taken for granted. MJF then prepares to address Danielson's two kids, and Danielson threatens to kick the shit out of MJF if he does it.

She says that Ruby Soho may be worthy of a title shot, but she is ruining everything from the ground up. She then says that Ruby Soho is also worthy of a title shot and has proven herself as of late. Hayter then makes her match for the Women's World Championship at Revolution a Triple Threat Match so she can beat both Saraya and Ruby Soho.
