went for the Hidden Blade right away, but MJF ducked it.
Ospreay landed a clothesline, sending MJF over the top rope
and to the floor. Ospreay jumped over the top and landed on
MJF.
Ospreay booted MJF in the jaw. MJF dropped to the mat, lured
Ospreay in, grabbed Ospreay by the trunks and pulled him
headfirst into the turnbuckles. MJF hit Ospreay with a
stunner out of nowhere for a near fall!

turnbuckle right on target. Ospreay flipped over the top
rope with a handspring Sasuke special onto MJF! Ospreay
splashed MJF with a shooting star press and then a star
twister press from the middle rope for a two-count on MJF!
“That’s why they call him the ‘Aerial Assassin,’” said
Excalibur.
“Ospreay makes this look easy, and it’s not,” replied Taz.
The fans chanted “This is awesome! This is awesome!”
MJF rolled out of bounds, rolling out of the ring. Ospreay
grabbed the timekeeper’s table and set it up near the ring.
MJF crawled out of range of the champion and back into the
ring. MJF hit a thrust kick and then stuck Will with a
piledriver for a near fall.
MJF went to work on Ospreay’s left leg and knee. Ospreay
chopped at MJF, but MJF back dropped Ospreay. MJF applied a
figure four leg lock on Ospreay. The champ made the turn and
reversed the hold. MJF turned the hips and applied the
pressure back onto Ospreay, but Ospreay grabbed the ropes to
force the ref to break the hold.
Max blistered Ospreay’s chest with chops. MJF whipped
Ospreay into the corner, but Ospreay crumbled. Ospreay
clutched his leg. Ospreay pulled down his kneepad to allow
more blood to flow to that injured area. MJF gouged at the
champ’s eyes. MJF chop blocked Ospreay.
Ospreay countered MJF with a Stun Dog Millionaire and
followed up with an Os Cutter! MJF took himself out of play

placed Will onto the time keeper’s table. MJF removed the

attempt. MJF spat at Ospreay and Ospreay answered with a
headbutt. Justin Roberts announced there was one minute
remaining in the match.
Ospreay was looking for the Tiger Driver but couldn’t bring
himself to do it. He put Max back down.
“He vowed never to do it,” said Taz.
“He’s conflicted. He almost ended Bryan Danielson’s career
with that,” added Excalibur.
With thirty seconds remaining, MJF shoved Ospreay into the
referee, knocking the ref down! MJF blasted Will with a
right hand, knocking out the champ and scoring the pin fall
victory with two seconds remaining in the match!
New AEW International Champion…MJF!
“I’m assuming MJF had something in his hand, maybe the
Dynamite Diamond Ring,” said Taz.
“There it is!” said Excalibur, as the ring was shown on the
mat. “The referee didn’t see it, but we all saw it. 59
minutes and 58 seconds.”
The Acclaimed and the Ring of Honor World Champion Mark
Briscoe were backstage!
Max Caster: “Mr. Briscoe, we know you’re in Blood & Guts and
we know that you need a couple partners. The only way you
get the best wrestler alive on your side is with the
Acclaimed together. Plus, we just beat the Young Bucks a
couple of weeks ago. We’ve got their number so it’s a no-
brainer.”
Anthony Bowens: “And Max and I are this close to becoming
AEW Tag Team Champions again! Plus, when you think of AEW
you think the Acclaimed because everyone loves the
Acclaimed!”
Mark Briscoe: “That’s right! You boys had my back a couple
weeks ago so as far as I’m concerned, y’all are in. But I’m
not the only one calling this shot.”
AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland walked onto the scene.
Swerve: “Listen! We’ve been through our fair share of
squabbles over the years, so I know y’all are some real
tough people. There’s no better people to go to war with
than some people you’ve done battle with. So, all I’m saying
is, y’all ready to get violent?”
Briscoe: “The Elite, we’re coming for you! Seven days and
counting!”
Up next: TV Time with FTW Champion “The Learning Tree” Chris
Jericho with “The Redwood” Big Bill, & “Bad Apple” Bryan
Keith!
Chris Jericho: “Hi guys! Let’s talk about Dynamite 250 for
AEW. I was on the very first Dynamite and I’ve been on
almost every one since. And I’m never going to miss another
Dynamite again. I’ll be on every episode until 500! When you
listen to the Learning Tree, good things happen, and when
you don’t, people get hurt!
“I’m begging you to listen to the Learning Tree. Look at all
the people that didn’t listen over the past few weeks—
Shibata, HOOK, Samoa Joe—they didn’t listen to the Learning
Tree! I’m begging you, this has to stop. People are getting
hurt! All of you realize you have to listen to the Learning
Tree!
“Who would be crazy enough not to listen to the Learning
Tree at this point? Who would be psychotic enough not to
listen and use the teachings of Chris Jericho?”
Minoru Suzuki’s music began to play! Suzuki walked onto the
ramp and down to the ring with a piece of paper in his hand.
Suzuki: “Next week!”
Bryan Keith pulled the paper out of Suzuki’s hand and read
it: “Official order, AEW. Redwood and Bad Apple banned from
ringside! FTW Title match at Blood & Guts!”
Suzuki headbutted Jericho! Big Bill and Bryan Keith stood
back, flabbergasted, while Suzuki waved!
AEW World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks and AEW
Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada were backstage!
Nicholas: “Did you see that guys? We saw what you just said,
the Acclaimed, Mark Briscoe, Swerve. It’s ridiculous! What
pisses us off a little more is the Acclaimed thinking
they’re going to be two-time tag team champions. Not on our
watch!”
Matthew: “Guys I think you need a little bit of a reminder
of just who we are! We’re the Elite! The greatest faction in
the history of this company. And after next week we’ll have
all the gold, and we’ll have all the power.”
Nicholas: “Not all the gold…not the World championship.”
Matthew: “But what we do to Swerve, let’s just say that that
title may become vacant all of a sudden. You’re dealing with
the most dangerous people in this business. And making his
return to the Elite, “Hangman” Adam Page!”
TBS Champion “The CEO” Mercedes Moné walked by!
Mercedes: “I just want to thank you boys so much for banning
Britt from backstage so she can’t celebrate Dynamite: 250
with us!”
Matthew: “Let’s just say there’s going to be no drama from
the D.M.D. to the C.E.O. via your EVPs. And Rainmaker wants
to know if you’ll do your cool dance for us.”
Mercedes: “My CEO dance? Of course!”
Okada: “So hot.”
TBS Open Challenge!
TBS & NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion “The CEO” Mercedes Moné
vs.
“The Native Beast” Nyla Rose!
Mercedes used a drop toe hold, getting Nyla off her feet.
Nyla tried for a vertical suplex, but Mercedes escaped. Nyla
blocked a DDT and put Mercedes on the top rope. Nyla nailed
Mercedes with a knee drop from the top rope for a two-count!
Nyla hit a snap suplex on the CEO and then clubbed her with
a lariat. Nyla splashed Mercedes in the corner. Nyla
connected with a cannonball in the corner for a near fall on
Mercedes!
Mercedes kicked Nyla off the ropes and then splashed Nyla
from the top turnbuckle. Mercedes smashed Nyla with the
meteora for a near fall. Mercedes crushed Nyla with an
avalanche bulldog! Mercedes grabbed a glove and placed it on
her hand, mocking Dr. Britt Baker’s surgical glove. Mercedes
applied the Lock Jaw but Nyla bit down. Mercedes applied the
Statement Maker and forced Nyla to tap out!
“She may not be a dentist, but Mercedes is still the NJPW
STRONG and TBS champion here tonight with her victory over
Nyla Rose,” said Excalibur.
A fan at ringside in a Sting mask was holding up a Britt
Baker sign. Mercedes grabbed the sign and tore it up. The
fan pie-faced Mercedes, knocking the champ down. The fan
removed the Sting mask and revealed herself to be...Dr.
Britt Baker, D.M.D.! Security formed a wall, separating
Britt and Mercedes from one another!
“The Scapegoat” Jack Perry was backstage!
“Darby Allin, last week you wanted my attention. Well, you
got it now. All you had to do was ask. Did you really have
to go hurt Brandon Cutler? Maybe what I mean to say is, do
you think I give a s—t about Brandon Cutler?”
Jack Perry smiled, as Brandon Cutler was injured at his
feet. Jack picked up Cutler and threw him threw a set of
doors leading to the boiler room.
Jack Perry: “Come find me tonight, and I’ll show you what a
real sacrifice looks like.”
AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm walked onto
the ramp with her back toward the camera!
“I thought we were supposed to hear from 2024 Women’s Owen
Hart Cup Tournament Winner Mariah May but—”
She turned around to face the camera and it was Mariah May
impersonating Toni Storm!
Mariah May walked to the ring.
Mariah May: “Let’s be honest. You all saw it coming.
Everybody saw it coming except Toni Storm. A woman so
desperate for the spotlight she didn’t realize she was
giving it all away. The question shouldn’t be why, the
question should be: Mariah, what took you so long?
“Honestly, I didn’t think it would last this long either.
But it was so easy. And I was having so much fun stringing
her along. I just wanted to see how far it would go. But
then I saw Wembley and I thought, why take the old horse out
back when I can kill it in front of as many people as
possible.
“I’ve been Toni Storm and now I can be so much more. But
don’t worry, Toni, I still love you. In fact, Toni, I have
never loved you more than when you were on your knees,
bleeding, crying, screaming my name. That was your greatest
performance. And my greatest performance will be at All In.
Because now All Elite Wrestling is all about Mariah!”
Champion vs. Champion!
AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland (with Prince Nana)

Matthew Jackson jumped into the ring and blindsided Swerve,
stomping him in the corner! The ref called off the match!
The Acclaimed sprinted to the ring, coming to the aid of
Swerve. Jack Perry ran down and attacked the Acclaimed!

“Where is he? I don’t see him anywhere,” replied Schiavone.

so!” said Excalibur.

control!
