then stormed off!

“Adam Page is the angel of death!” said Nigel.

Tony Schiavone was in the ring to interview Toni Storm!

Toni Storm: “Honestly, I don’t know what my life is right
now. This is so surreal, and my dreams are finally coming
true. Because I’m going to Australia and I’m going to the
building where I saw my first wrestling show. I can call my
mom and tell her to get ready because I’m coming home!

“Mariah May is the best in the business today. She’s killing
it! But I haven’t had a chance to introduce myself to her
yet, so I was thinking next week in Jacksonville, I think
it’s time that she and I finally meet face to face.”

The Hurt Syndicate—MVP, Shelton Benjamin, and Bobby Lashley—
had comments after their victory on Dynamite!

MVP: “Tonight a definitive statement was made. I promised
you when we came here to AEW that championship gold would be
ours for the taking. With the defeat that we just put on
Private Party, that makes us the number one contenders. Next
week, Private Party, put up the tag championships against
Shelton and Bobby. But remember, we hurt people.”

his feet!

The Undisputed Kingdom had a face off with Danny Garcia as
Garcia held his TNT Championship above his head.

Will Ospreay was interviewed after Dynamite!

Ospreay: “Myself and Kenny have had our differences, but we
both know each other from Don Callis. That’s our link. I
think this is bigger than both our egos and next week on
Dynamite, I think Kenny Omega and I have a chat once and for
all.”

their respective teams. Dante drilled Archer with repeated
forearms. Cage and Archer double teamed Dante with the choke
slam lariat combo and pinned Dante!

them look almost like rookies,” said Nigel.

After the match, Action Andretti walked onto the ramp. He
distracted Top Flight while Lio Rush ambushed Top Flight!
Lio frog splashed Darius while Leila was forced to watch.

Lexi Nair interviewed The Learning Tree backstage!

Jericho: “Jon Moxley isn’t the type of guy to show up and do
interviews. I’m not going to let you stir the pot, Lexi.
Moxley, let me address you face to face. We’ve known each
other a long time. We have beaten the hell out of each other
around the entire world. Tonight, we’ve got some common
enemies, and you know there is no one in this company as
smart and driven as you than me. If there’s any doubt in
your mind, maybe we’ll prove it before the match.”

The Acclaimed’s Max Caster came to the ring by himself!

Caster carried a duffel bag out with him.

Caster: “Thank you everybody. Thank you for your concern.
There’s been a lot of issues going on with the Acclaimed.
There’s a lot of rumors online. A lot of people are talking.
But I just want to clear the air right now with my teammate
Anthony Bowens. Please come to the ring, Anthony.”

Anthony Bowens came down to the ring.

Caster: “There’s been a huge misunderstanding between you
and me, and we just need to see eye to eye and get on the
same page. The biggest issue between us is you just won’t
admit that I’m the best wrestler alive.”

Bowens: “You know what, Max? I think it’s finally time for
you to listen, pal. For the last five years I have tried
with every fiber of my being to protect you in the ring, in
the locker room, in the media, because we were tag team
partners. But now I have to live with the uncomfortable
truth that you have made me a liar. Because I have had to
lie to everyone about you as a person. You’re an arrogant
piece of crap!

“You want all these people to believe that you’re the best
wrestler alive. But they think you suck. This is exactly
what I mean. You have lost the team spirit. I have no idea
why you look down upon me. I possess every tool necessary to
be a world champion. I have proudly represented AEW since I
have put pen to paper. I am the pride of AEW. I am
wrestling’s five tool player! I don’t need a piece of paper
from the government to prove it.”

Daddy Ass walked out in disbelief!

Daddy Ass: “What is wrong with you two? Have you lost your
minds? Do I need to remind you two of who you two were? You
are the Acclaimed. We got everyone to scissor just because
it was cool.”

Caster: “Billy this is your fault. You don’t care about us.
You attached yourself to a couple of young wrestlers just so
you could hear these people chant your name over and over
again. But this ain’t the 90s anymore. They don’t want to
see you. They want to see the best wrestler alive. And
honestly, I never liked the Daddy Ass thing, and you are not
my dad. And you bring up the Trios titles. You rode our
coattails. You made it about you when it should be about me,
the best wrestler alive.

“And Anthony, you’re my best friend. We have been through it
all. I won’t let this go wrong because of Billy Gunn. Every
team he’s been a part of has broken up and there’s a reason
for that. Even your own two sons don’t want anything to do
with you. Anthony, you have to choose, it’s either me or
Billy, if you want the Acclaimed to keep going.”

Bowens flipped off Caster!

Caster: “Oh, that’s how it is. You can’t walk away from me.
I’m walking away from you because I said so. I’m the leader
of the team and it’s everybody’s fault in here. Without me,
you suck. I’m going to prove I’m the best wrestler alive.”

Bowens: “I didn’t need you then, Max, and I don’t need you
now. Billy, one last time, throw those scissors up in the
air!”
