Because of that, she learned at a very young age two very valuable lessons: to take care of the people closest to you and that if you want to hurt somebody, you don't go at them directly; you take out who they love most.

MJF heads to the ring to start tonight's show. He says that everyone in the building is "inbred and incredibly stupid," and demands that everyone keeps their mouths shut. MJF calls Daniel Garcia "nothing more than a pawn," then says their match at All In was never going to happen, as he was always going to stab him in the back and break his neck, and says he is a "Make-A-Wish Kid" at best and was trying to grant him his wish even though it was not real and never answered. He then says Daniel Garcia will never wrestle again, much less make it to All In, then says he is here to talk to the fans. He replays his promo from the August 2, 2023 where he talks about his attention deficit disorder as well as his rejection sensitive disorder as well as how he was made fun of as a kid, then says he opened up to the fans and knew that if he did, it would tear his heart if the fans turned on him, and yet the fans did not give a damn. MJF says he did so much for the fans, but the fans repaid him after his friend stabbed him in the back and Samoa Joe took the AEW World Championship by chanting "Thank You Joe" after Worlds End while he was in physical therapy trying to regain movement in his left arm and cast him aside for other wrestlers. MJF says that what he did to Daniel Garcia was personal not between himself and Garcia, but between himself and the fans, and Garcia was just the tip of the iceberg. He says that he will take away everything that the fans love in AEW because everything they love sucks, and because the fans have ruined the company he loves with their "garbage tastes." He says that he will fix this by getting back on top, even though the fans want Will Ospreay (who he calls a "talented hack") and are too delusional to realize that he cannot help the company like he can because he is a child who only cares about putting on good matches and not ticket sales or making money. MJF says the only ratings Ospreay cares about are from "a guy named Meltzer" while the ratings he cares about are from "a guy named Nielsen." He then proposes that he and Ospreay "pop a number right here, right now" and threatens to get medieval on him, saying that he will sacrifice him like "the billy goat" that he claims to be. Will Ospreay's music hits, but Ospreay fails to show, and MJF grins before saying that Ospreay is not coming because he is a "two-faced, fickle, gutless coward" just like the fans.
Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews The Conglomeration (Mark Briscoe, Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly). O'Reilly admits they are "bummed out" after Forbidden Door, but Mark Briscoe says he is not despite, then says the word of the day is "epiphany" and that he had anepiphany that failure is a figment of one's imagination and nothing but a stepping stone to the throne. He says they are in the shadow of one of the most important cities in wrestling history - Memphis, Tennessee - and that they are about to bring a "historical ass whupping" to The Iron Savages (Boulder, Bronson, Jacked Jameson). Briscoe heads to the ring, and O'Reilly says Mark Briscoe knows how to pull a guy out of a dark abyss. Orange says "I don't care."
Before the next match, Jacked Jameson says everyone loves The Conglomeration (Mark Briscoe, Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly) because they represent them, but they do not stand a chance. He says that Mark Briscoe is called "The Sussex County Chicken" because his bones are brittle, and Kyle O'Reilly and Orange Cassidy look like they belong on the bottom of an evolutionary chart. Shortly after this, Undisputed Kingdom (Roderick Strong, Matt Taven, Mike Bennett) guests on commentary.

He says that a long time ago, he was the first-ever challenger to the first-ever TNT Champion, but he was not ready yet because he did not realize how great that cost would be. Perry says that as of tonight, he is paid in full, and he wants to give that opportunity to sacrifice everything and take the TNT Championship from him to somebody else, because if they do not, he will sacrifice them. As he speaks, we only see his reflection in the center plate of the TNT Championship.
Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews "Hangman" Adam Page. Adam Page says that his indefinite suspension has been ended out of convenience - not his, but The Elite's (Nicholas Jackson, Matthew Jackson, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, "Scapegoat" Jack Perry) - and that what was happening to him and his family did not matter to them at all, for at the moment that they thought that they could use him, they brought him back. He then says that even "he" knows that he is really here to burn through the rest of the men's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, head to All In and right a wrong that should have been righted a long time ago, and if it takes his last breath on Earth, he will right that wrong and he will burn "his" world to the ground. He then leaves when "Switchblade" Jay White and his inability to defeat him is mentioned.

We see a video package for Willow Nightingale vs. Mariah May in the finals of the women's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament next week on Dynamite.
We hear from The Patriarchy (Christian Cage, "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne, Killswitch, Mama Wayne). Christian says that last week, many people were left in awe when "Switchbalde" Jay White confronted The Patriarchy with his words and he seemingly let Jay White get away with it. Christian tells Jay White that he made it personal, as he promised his family the gift of the United Trios Championships for their loyalty to him over the past year, and says that The Bang Bang Gang (Jay White, "Rock Hard' Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn) has been on such a run with the titles that he had to Google them to find out who they were. He says that Jay White's head is not in the game, or else he would not have entered the men's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. Christian calls the tournament Jay White's "exit strategy" and says that he cannot blame him as he has surrounded him with a child and "genetic waste." Christian says he will do Jay White a favor and take the Unitied Trios Championships off his hands to revive them and make them the most important titles on AEW on the road to the AEW World Championship, and that it will make Tony Khan and the AEW fanbase happy, as the fans are tired of seeing The Bang Bang Gang consistently tread water while simultaneously getting the Jay White they thought they would get when he signed to the company. All of a sudden, Christian sees Kip Sabian, who says that he recently lost his father and that he meant no disrespect being near camera shot. Christian says he is sure that his father was a loser and that the apple does not fall far from the tree, then tells Kip Sabian that his day is about to get a whole lot worse as he sics Killswitch on him on the way out.
"Scapegoat" Jack Perry's challenger for the TNT Championship is Marko Stunt, who has not been seen in AEW in some time.
"Scapegoat" Jack Perry retains the TNT Championship against Marko Stunt.
We hear from The House of Black (Malakai Black and Brody King). Malakai Black says they are asked about how they feel regarding Buddy Matthews, but they do not feel anything, as they do not sweat out their fevers like others do. He says that revenge is not a straight line and is more of an imbalanced scale waiting to be tipped back into perfect balance, as well as a shadow hiding in the dark waiting to be put back into the light. Brody King says that they feel nothing, Christian Cage will feel everything.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor, "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty, Anthony Ogogo), Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) and Action Andretti.

Darius says they are not scared and that they are not ducking Shane Taylor Promotions, and if they want to rumble, they can go. Dante Martin says he earned a spot in the ladder match, then reminds them that Lio Rush cleaned house in their last encounter. Lee Moriarty gets ticked off and wants the match right now, which causes Shane Taylor to hold him back, while Anthony Ogogo says this is not Chuck E. Cheese's and that they will smash them up.
"Hangman" Adam Page beats "Switchblade" Jay White to advance to the finals of the men's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament.
