It’s Wednesday and AEW Dynamite is live from Chicago, IL, at the Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom. Our commentary team is Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, and Taz, and tonight we get the fallout from All In!
Tony Schiavone welcomes new World Champion Adam Page, who shows off the belt and says the fans deserve it and it is because of them that All Elite Wrestling exists. He then says they don’t do it for titles; they do it for the fans. He then says the fans deserve to have someone carrying the title who appreciates them more than anyone else.
He says not everyone who was in the war made it out of it OK, so he thanks Orange Cassidy, Jay White, Adam Copeland, The Opps, Bryan Danielson, and Darby Allin. He thanks Will Ospreay, who didn’t walk out of All In on his own two feet. He then struggles a bit and thanks Swerve Strickland.
Page says he shed blood and a few tears and says that while Jon Moxley and others may say that makes him less than a man, he has a family who loves him, fans who respect him, and he is the champion of the <censored> world.
We then get a video package about All In.
We get a video of Matt and Nick Jackson showing up earlier today in an Uber.

He says he has everything to prove to hypocritical fans who think he is the best, but he is the best. He doesn’t need the contract to beat him; he will beat him easily and he will push Page back into a pit of his own despair.

He did not show up to save Christian Cage. He goes over their AEW history and says Cage cost him his title match out of jealousy.
