The Mogul Embassy’s Swerve Strickland then blindsides Joe on the ramp and the two begin brawling. Joe sends Strickland crashing through a barricade, then sets up a table on the barricade. Strickland then spears Joe through the table and officials make their way out to check on Joe and hold Strickland back.

Excalibur then says they had to pivot, so we see footage of Trent Beretta turning on “Freshly Squeezed” Orange Cassidy last week. Kris Statlander is then shown confronting Trent Beretta backstage and he whispered something to her before walking off. Renee Paquette was then standing outside Orange Cassidy’s locker room and she was told Cassidy will be wrestling on Rampage this Friday and will address the situation then.

We then get the entrances of the first match of the night, which is the Cope Open for the TNT Championship.

The referee then begins a ten count and both men beat it. Penta then hits stomps on Copeland and sets him up on the apron, then nails him with a kick to his head.

Penta then delivers a chop to Copeland in the corner. Copeland then gets Penta in an Electric Chair position and sends him crashing into the mat face first, then puts him in a modified Sharpshooter.

Copeland then puts Penta in a crossface, but Penta gets his boot on the bottom ropes to break the hold. Penta then hits an enzuigiri on Copeland, then looks to join him on the apron.

The winner and still the TNT Champion, “The Rated R Superstar” Adam Copeland!

After the match, the lights go out and Julia Hart is standing in the ring. Brody King then blindsides Copeland and hits a boot to his face in the corner, then delivers some stomps on him. Willow Nightingale’s music then hits and she makes her way down to the ring to lay waste to Hart. Hart escapes and Copeland low bridges King out of the ring. Nightingale then checks on Copeland.

We then head to the back, where Renee Paquette is interviewing “Lionheart” Chris Jericho, FTW Champion HOOK and Katsuyori Shibata about their Trios Match tonight against Shane Taylor Promotions. Jericho says HOOK brought in Shibata on his own, which means he is learning. Jericho then says tonight both HOOK and Shibata can sit under his learning tree. Jericho then says if they breathe his verified air, they will be successful. Jericho then walks off and Shibata says through his phone What’s His Deal? HOOK then says don’t worry about it before Shibata looks at Paquette and tells her he likes her necklace.

We then get video footage from the previous three encounters of The Young Bucks and FTR. The Young Bucks win the first match, while FTR wins the next two. Excalibur then says The Young Bucks will discuss and show their footage from All In London next.

We then head to the back, where ROH World Champion Mark Briscoe and Eddie Kingston comment on their match at ROH Supercard of Honor. TNT Champion Adam Copeland then walks in and asks them if they’re good for AEW Dynamite. Willow Nightingale and Adam Copeland then agree to team up on next week’s show.

The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson and Nicholas Jackson) are then shown backstage as they prepare to reveal the footage from AEW All In. They say they have a big PPV coming up. Nicholas then looks back on their last match with FTR at AEW All In and references old wounds. Matthew then says there was an incident involving two individuals, including “The Scapegoat” Jack Perry. Matthew then says Perry reminds them of themselves. The Young Bucks then reference the other individual, who is friends with FTR. Nicholas then wonders if FTR were the masterminds of the entire situation.

Matthew Jackson then says the backstage incident threw them off their rhythm before their match with FTR. Matthew also says there should be an asterisk next to FTR’s win at AEW All In. Matthew then says the incident itself is like a high-school scrap. Matthew then says the ramifications threatened to take down AEW’s biggest show of all time, but it didn’t. The Young Bucks then reveal the footage, which shows CM Punk confronting Jack Perry. The footage has no audio, but they are clearly talking. Punk is then shown pushing Perry and is clearly the aggressor. Samoa Joe and the others then break it up and Punk walks away. Matthew then says the worst part is creating a wrestling show and filling a show with a historic crowd, but getting distracted by something so stupid and losing. Nicholas then says they won’t be shaking FTR’s hands at AEW Dynasty.

FTR (Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood) then make their way down to the ring and questions why The Young Bucks are talking about this as he is tired of hearing about it. Cash Wheeler then says they are doing some of their best shows ever, but they are showing clips from eight months ago. Wheeler then says they have to beat the Young Bucks because he is sick of the petty little b***hes. Harwood then admits that AEW would not exist without the Young Bucks. Harwood then says that their win over the Young Bucks makes the duo sick as FTR has eclipsed them as the best tag team on the planet. Harwood then says the Young Bucks lost their way and now they only care about being EVPs. Harwood then highlights the fans’ passion and says they do it for them.

Harwood then says this is about AEW and this is about the AEW World Tag Team Championship. Harwood then says that one team will walk out of AEW Dynasty as the first-ever three-time AEW World Tag Team champions. Harwood then says the Young Bucks may have built the foundation, but FTR will put the roof on the place.

“The Aerial Assassin” Will Ospreay then makes his way down to the ring to address the AEW fans.

Renee Paquette starts off by saying Ospreay has some things to get off his chest and asks him what they are. Ospreay says there is a rumor that he is afraid of the grind. Ospreay then says he has no idea where this came from as he is one of the only guys flying from the UK to the USA every week to deliver some of the best professional matches the world has ever seen. Ospreay then addresses Bryan Danielson and says he is stronger and faster than him. Ospreay then says the only way he can beat Danielson is to ground him, then says Danielson is a living legend in the business. Ospreay also says fans have paid a lot of money to see the best wrestlers go at it and AEW is where the best wrestle. Ospreay then says it’s his time to show the world what he is about and what he brings to the table. Ospreay then says he is on another level.

We then get a video package, where TBS Champion Julia Hart says she is looking forward to her match with Willow Nightingale. Hart then says she will turn Nightingale’s smile into a frown. Hart then says her destiny is to keep the title and the house always wins.

Renee Paquette is then backstage with Dustin Rhodes and Paquette says Samoa Joe is medically cleared to compete tonight. Rhodes then says this doesn’t change his strategy as he still has nothing to lose, but everything to gain. Rhodes then says the time for talking is over. Rhodes also says grit, work ethic, passion and glory is what he is all about and tonight is no different.

White then says he is ready to do it again on Rampage, but not against Billy Gunn, against someone Austin and Colten lines up.

Renee Paquette then introduces Thunder Rosa and AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm. Paquette then thanks Storm for organizing this toast, but before Storm speaks, she throws the glass of champagne in Rosa’s face. Storm then throws a tray at Rosa, then rubs the face paint off her.
