In the ring, Jon Moxley said I’ve been chasing the IWGP Championship for five years and now I’m the champion. Don Callis’ family put a hit out on Bryan Danielson this past weekend and tried to injure him. If you’re going to put a target on Bryan’s back, then you put a target on mine. If you want to be tough guys, come find me. I’ll be here all night. I’m challenging Will Hobbs to a match next week on Dynamite.
Backstage, Mercedes Mone said last week somebody attacked me in the dark because they were afraid to face me in the light. I can’t wait to payback that bitch who attacked me. Lights off sounds like Julia Hart, or maybe it’s somebody that wants me to think it was you. I’m putting the entire women’s division on notice.
Adam Copeland & Willow Nightingale vs Brody King & Julia Hart
Copeland came to the ring. Willow Nightingale appeared on the video screen down on the floor. The lights went out. When they came back on, Pac, Daniel Garcia, and King attacked Copeland from behind. Willow made her way to the ring late in the match and tagged Copeland. Hart hit Willow with a chain behind the ref’s back, put her in the Heartless, and the referee stopped the match. After the match, Mercedes Mone came to the ring with a chair which caused King and Hart to leave. Copeland shook Mercedes hand while staring at Willow.
===Winners: Adam Copeland & Willow Nightingale
Earlier today, Samoa Joe said Swerve Strickland is a choke artist. He has failed at every title opportunity he had and I will be the one choking him out at Dynasty.
Backstage, The Young Bucks told Tony Khan to cut the segment that started to air on FTR. We’re going to become the first three time tag team champions at Dynasty.

===Winners: The Elite
In the ring, Chris Jericho told HOOK I pulled you off the ring apron last week because I didn’t feel you were listening to me as much as you should. I’m doing this for you. I am the learning tree. Everybody who listened to me in AEW has risen to the next level and that’s what I want for you. Are you ready to sit under my learning tree? HOOK said no. I don’t need your help. Jericho told him don’t be stupid. Taz told Jericho to relax. Jericho told Taz I’m doing what you should have done thirty years ago and given this kid some proper guidance. Jericho told HOOK I need to help you get rid of this dead weight that has surrounded you your entire life. You are not as good as you think your are. Taz was getting ready to say something to Jericho and Jericho pushed him. Hook pushed Jericho against the ropes and said you crossed the line. If you want to see how good I am, I will show you anytime, anywhere, any place. Get out of my ring. Jericho reluctantly left the ring.
Earlier today, Swerve Strickland said I lost in my title opportunities, but I’ve fallen forward into success. This Sunday, I will defeat Samoa Joe at Dynasty.

May gave Purrazzo a headbutt, a hip attack, and a DDT for a near fall. May went for the May Day, but Purrazzo rolled her up for the pin. After the match, Storm and May jumped Purrazzo. Thunder Rose ran into the ring and kicked May and Storm. Purrazzo got mad at Rosa and pushed her. May pulled Purrazzo out of the ring and they began to fight.
