“Everyone is impressed,” replied Tony.

Serena Deeb was backstage with harsh words for Dr. Britt
Baker, D.M.D.!

Deeb: “Let’s talk about the people that are here, not the
ones who aren’t here. The 5th year anniversary of Dynamite
is coming up in two weeks. Dr. Britt Baker, I challenge you
to a match. But that’s only if you’re down to get your ass
beat in your own hometown.”

Nigel McGuinness gave his final words to AEW World Champion
“The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson ahead of their match
at Dynamite: Grand Slam!

Nigel: “True to form, the American Dragon has refused to
answer my challenge from last week. The AEW World Champion,
a representative for this company…how pathetic. What’s even
worse is this clam digger is hiding behind this fake injury
when the truth of the matter is Bryan fears Nigel.

“But Bryan, if you’re not going to do it for me, or for you,
or for your family, maybe you should do it for the fans. The
truth is, while they cheer you, they identify with me. If
you deny me, you deny them!”

Tony Schiavone: “I’ve been working beside you since last
year as your broadcast partner. I hear what you say about
Danielson each week and I see what you’re trying to do to
Danielson. Your claims are ridiculous. Bryan Danielson is
not afraid of you. He is not cleared to wrestle. If he was
cleared to wrestle, he’d get in the ring with you. We’ll
find out at Grand Slam if he’s cleared to wrestle. He’s not
afraid of you! Bryan Danielson is the greatest professional
wrestler I have ever seen in my career.”

Nigel: “You are one of the luckiest SOBs I have ever seen,
because if anyone else said those words to me, I would have
knocked their head off. Tony don’t tempt fate twice. Go and
sit down and shut your mouth now!

“You might be drinking the Coward Aid, but I’m not! Bryan, I
don’t care who you do it for, but on Wednesday night, I want
you to walk down this rampway, walk up these steps and meet
me in the middle of this ring for the final chapter of our
rivalry! Because it is my destiny! Ever since I have
retired, I have told anyone who would listen, shouting at
the moon, like a lunatic, saying I was as good as you Bryan!
But nobody listened to me! Nobody believed me!

“And why would they Bryan? Because the truth of the matter
is there are only two people in the world today who know
that what I’m saying is true! Me and you! And that is
exactly why you have refused to answer my challenge! You
know that if you show up this Wednesday, I will beat you! I
will destroy you! And I will finally have vindication!

“Once again, you’re taking away from me the one thing I
deserve. But this time it doesn’t matter. This time even if
you don’t show up, I will still be vindicated because the
world knows why. The ball is in your court. I hope you
choose option A and show up because if there is a God in
heaven it will happen. And if there’s not, may the devil
hear my prayer!
