After AEW Dynamite ended, Tony Khan came out to thank everyone from the Boston area and said that his best friends in the NFL are from the New England Patriots organization and Bill Belicheck was his idol after Tony's own father.  He said AEW has been coming here since the beginning and will always come back.

Chris Jericho came out and yelled at the fans not to sing his song because they booed him earlier.

AEW Rampage spoilers:

*Orange Cassidy & The Best Friends defeated Satnum Singh & Sonjay Dutt & Jay Lethal when Orange pinned Dutt with the Orange Crush.  Lethal and Satnum attacked Cassidy and beat him down, but AEW TNT Champion Wardlow hit the ring.  Dutt made Lethal and Singh leave the ring.

*Ethan Page defeated Leon Ruffan.

*Lee Moriarty taps out Matt Sydal.

*Tony Schiavone interviewed new ROH Champion Claudio Castagnoli.  Before Claudio even spoke, the crowd chanted "You deserve it" and gave him an extended ovation.  He thanked the fans in several langauges and said that there were times he doubted himself but the fans never let him down and supported him as he fought to get to where he wanted to be.  He brought out Wheeler Yuta but Chris Jericho, at the announcer's desk, said he was sick of them and said a sports-entertainer beats a pro wrestler every time but Yuta told him to shut up and said that he beat Daniel Garcia to retain the ROH Pure title.  He said he knows he can beat Garcia and is pretty sure he can beat Chris Jericho too.  This went on until Jericho offered to fight at Dynamite.  Wheeler turned it down, saying he already knows he can beat Jericho.  Jericho offered to put up his title match against Moxley this Wednesday and Yuta can have it if he beats Jericho/  Yuta said that was easier than he thought and agreed.

*Anna Jay choked out Ruby Soho, using her cast to assist her.  

After the taping, Tony Khan sent Wheeler Yuta and William Regal to the ring.  Yuta asked everyone to cheer for Ruby.  He said he's had a lot of good moments in Worcester.  He told the fans he'd see them at the White Eagle and got a pop.  He said an hour up the road, he wrestled Jon Moxley in Boston, a night that changed his life.  He said he's ready to avenge that loss.  The biggest night of his career, he came up short and now only Chris Jericho stands in his way of getting a rematch against Mox.  He will get the biggest win of his career, then will face his brother Moxley and become the Interim World Champion.

Regal took the mic and said he's been coming to Worcester for 29 years and thanked everyone for their support.  He told Ruby she fought hard tonight but Chris Jericho came out and said he didn't want any trouble.    He came out and offered his hand to Yuta, saying he just wanted them to have a good match next week.  Wheeler accepted the shake but when Jericho pulled away, Yuta pulled him into a DDT and nailed him with it.  Regal then bid farewell to the audience.
