It's Wednesday and yup know what that means, no, not New Comic Book Day, it's a new episode of AEW Dynamite from Daly's Plaza in Jacksonville, Florida, and Jim Ross, Excalibur, and Tony Schiavone are our announcers, and it's time to see what happens now that Double or Nothing are in the books!
We started with a video package showing what happened at Double or Nothing, and then we go to the Inner Cicrle. Jericho says that the Inner Circle will have a pep rally to get over the loss and figure out what to do with their Inner Circle Stadium Stampede shirt they have in a couple of boxes on as table. However, Santana and Ortiz say thy have a few more shirts than those boxes, open the truck to show they have a truckload of shirts!
We then get a rundown of the card coming up and we go to the arena where Joey Janela and Private Party are coming to the ring, we then see that earlier today, the Elite are waiting. Matt Hardy demands this be recorded, and Adam Page says he has to go back to the hotel, followed by Kenny Omega. Matt says it is the first time they are EVER teaming up, and the Young Bucks ask for a different version of Matt. Matt V2 comes out, and they says they want and older version, and Matt V1 comes out and asked if they are ready to head out and be spot monkeys!
Back in the arena, Matt comes out, followed by the Bucks.
Matt Hardy and the Young Bucks vs Joey Janela and Private Party.
Your winners, Matt Hardy and the Young Bucks
Matt Hardy helps Marquin to the back and after he is gone, Butcher and the Blade rush the ring and attack the Bucks, laying them out. A truck pulls up and Dax Hardwood and Cash Wheeler, the team known as FTR show up in a truck and march to the ring. The tease they will attack the Bucks and instead attack Butcher and Blade, taking Blade out with a spike pile driver. Butcher then comes in and gets taken out as well.
They leave the ring and we go to commercial and I catch my breath.
We get back to the announcers discussing FTR coming to AEW and then we get Jon Moxley's music and he's on his way to the ring. We get highlights of the match on Double or Nothing between him and Mr. Brodie Lee as he comes to the ring.
Mox sits down with the announcers and says he feels terrible after the war he's gone through. Now, he has to deal with Brian Cage as Cage and Taz comes to the ring, and we see highlights from the ladder match Cage won. Lee Johnson is in the ring and gets a fist to the face before the bell for signing to work the match.
Brian Cage vs Lee Johnson
Cage starts by attacking Johnson and beats him down in the corners. Cage ends it quickly with a Drill Claw, which is a vertical drop DDT.
Your winner: Brian Cage
Taz starts by saying he respects Mox, and he's paid his dues. However, and Fyter Fest, he faces Cage, and Taz wants him to bring his best because he is dealing with a machine in Brian Cage. Taz says Cage will tear his heart out of his chest. Beat him in you can, survive if he lets you.
It's time for another commercial break!
When we come back, Britt Baker is on her watch to the ramp to let us know how she is doing after her injury last week. Tony is waiting for her and she has a wheelchair and an easel so that Britt can give more rules of being a role model. Britt gets the mic for her and lets us know that rule #3 is:
Don't hurt the role model.
Britt says she has a broken tibia and it's a conspiracy to take her out. She shows how everyone in last week's match attacked her. Britt is friends with top TNT executives and demands Reba flip the page. She shows each person in the match and runs them down one by one. They are ALL part of the conspiracy. Reba flips the page again to a blank page and then quickly flips it back. She brings over a conspiracy board showing the connections between all of the women who are after her. She claims Ref Aubrey Edwards is at the center of it.
All of them are now put on notice and Britt will be back at All Out and hands the mic back to Tony and leaves. We do do as we go to commercial, one of which is in ad for the AEW toy line.
We come back to Alex Marvez with the Inner Circle. Jericho tells him to shut his ass and explains the pomp and circumstance coming until he sees Orange Cassidy behind them. He ends the promo and says he'll see Orange leter.

We come back to the highlights of the TNT Championship finals.
Cody then comes to the ring with Arn Anderson to talk to Tony. Cody asks why Tom Brady is his favorite quarterback, because Brady was not first picked. And neither was Cody. But it all resolved by the championship he holds in his hand. His story is not that of someone who got ahead via nepotism. He explains that his mother taught him what he needed to know about grit. He will outwork you and if you are critical of him, watch what he will do next. He will defend his title every week in an open challenge.
