It’s Saturday night and you know what that means! This is
for the Sickos!

“Ricochet earned every bit of that victory,” said Tony
Schiavone.

Ricochet: “I came here to say one thing. I came here to AEW
because this is where the best come to wrestle! But it’s
funny because here in AEW I have yet to be pinned or
submitted here in this ring. There’s one person who keeps
putting his nose in my business. I think you guys know.
Takeshita, you seem to stick your nose in my business every
chance that you get and it’s starting to be a little
annoying. He’s the new champion and that’s ok.

“Takeshita, it doesn’t matter where you go in this world,
yes, you are champion, but just know, wherever you go, I
will be waiting here to kick your ass! All that matters is I
will continue to knock down opponent after opponent until I
get you one on one in the middle of this ring, and I become
the new International Champion!

“These people here know I am not from this planet. I am out
of this world!”

Daniel Garcia was backstage with Private Party!

Garcia said he didn’t think the Young Bucks and Jack Perry
were willing to carry the responsibility that comes with
having their championships, especially as the Elite sit back
and watch Moxley and his crew run roughshod through AEW.
Isiah Kassidy said the Bucks were complacent cowards.
Kassidy said he wasn’t going to watch the BCC burn AEW down.

Kris Statlander vs. Harley Cameron!

bomb attempt with a roll-up for a two-count. Kris fired back
with a spinning back breaker. Statlander scoop slammed
Harley. Statlander followed up with a delayed vertical
suplex.

Harley Cameron spiked Kris with a DDT but Kris kicked out at
the one-count. Kris rallied back with a release German
Suplex and a charging boot strike. Statlander nailed Cameron
with the Staturday Night Fever and pinned Cameron!

Statlander: “One thing about me is that I am never afraid to
test myself and prove that I am the toughest and strongest
woman here in AEW. But one person has been a real pain. So
Kamille, I’m calling you out. It’s about time you met your
match! And Mercedes, I’ll make sure you have a front row
seat!”

tell you why. Unlike you, most of us have to work for our
opportunities. You want to talk about backstabbing bitches?
That’s you. You were gone for a year, and you came back to a
damn parade. Seems like too many of you have forgotten who
Penelope Ford is and I’m going to make sure you know what
two years of pain and anger feel like!”
