BOOM! Goes the Dynamite! What better way to start the show than with the best wrestler on the planet, Orange Cassidy.

He has a mic!

OC takes in some cheers then says, “Hey!” He says thank you. They told him to stay home. He was like, nah, he’s not gonna do that. He will be here every week, title or no title, because he is Freshly Squeezed Orange Cassidy and he does not have a catchphrase.

He heads to the back, and here comes Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli, who walk past.

Darby Allin runs into the ring to help AR up and holds up his hand. We see Nick Wayne on the tron, alone, and watching the screen…until Christian and Luchasaurus walk up to tell him that he watched some footage of Nick’s dad, and he was worse than he thought.

A video package goes over Roderick Strong’s relationship with his parents. Apparently, mom was a drug addict, and dad was a drinker. His sister left. Wrestling gave him a chance, an opportunity. No one judged him. So when people say wrestling is just a business, it’s not to him. It is his everything. But Adam already knew that. He grew up alone, and he will win the tournament alone. That starts tonight.

He is backed by The Kingdom who sit behind him for support.

MJF is here!

MJF cuts his music short. He’s got some shit to say. Little known fact; when he was trying to make a name for himself on the indies, he lived here in Indiana. Who’s Your Daddy, he asks Indiana, and they struggle a bit to get on equal footing, but eventually settle on MJF. He says he’s chubbed up.

This past Sunday, Cole and he defended their tag team titles and when he walked to the back, he was greeted by the mark Khan who told him he had to wrestle again on 9/20. But he realized that it was Grand Slam – The Devil’s Den, the Homestate. He’s comin back to New York, New York and he can assure whoever wins the tournament will find out the hard way that nobody is on the level of The Devil.

There is one person, he says, who may need to be taught a certain lesson.

That man cuts MJF off, because he fears no one, not even The Devil.

Samoa Joe asks for MJF to pardon the interruption, but he wanted a front row seat. What seems to be the problem, kid?

MJF smiles, tells Joe this must be embarrassing for him, he may have confused MJF’s music for an ice cream truck.

Joe smirks, tells MJF that’s good, but the last time he had anything to do with an ice cream truck, he was busy being the biggest star on the other company’s network. He poses the question one more time: “What’s the problem, kid?”

MJF notices that Joe called him kid twice. Creative. What’s funny about MJF, though, Joseph, is that MJF happens to be a little creative himself. He calls Joe “Pillsbury Joeboy” and “Samoa Dough.” MJF even goes so far as to call Joe’s dick small.

Joe says this is an interesting observation, considering his circumcision is still post-poned due to lack of stuff to work with. Joe wonders one more time, what is MJF’s problem, KID.

MJF gets in his face, says call him kid one more time, and he’ll knock his teeth down his throat.

MJF calms down, then says timeout. This is what Joe wants. He wants to skip the line. There is a whole tournament to face him.

The crowd “Fuck You Joe!”

Joe says they are all sounding like their mothers.

MJF wonders if we are ready for story time with MJF.

He was 19, and had a tryout in Brooklyn for the WWE. He knocked it out the park. He gets pulled to the side by William Regal. He irks a little, we know the story, he was told he was too young. Regal blew him off. We all know how that story ended. MJF knocked his British ass out and sent him packing back to NXT where he belongs. Funny enough, if Joe plays his cards right, Joe is next.

Later that evening, MJF was informed of an opportunity where he would walk a wrestling legend down to the ring. He was going to meet the most dangerous monster in the history of pro wrestling; the GREAT Samoa Joe. But, what did Joe do? He decided to take a 19 year old kid, just trying to do his job, and shoved him into a brick wall, and laughed.

MJF knows why Joe did that. He knows how scumbags think; after all, he is our scumbag. He did it because MJF was a kid, but he’s not anymore. He’s full grown. He is the champion. The best wrestler on God’s Green Earth. He is MJF.

He tells Joe to stay out of his way, or else, he. Is going to kill. Joe.

Why? Because his name is Maxwell Jacob Friedman, and he is better than Joe, and he knows it.

Joe says such a beautiful point, but there is one problem with it. Joe didn’t think of him as a kid when he pushed him, or someone he could do whatever he wanted to. He didn’t think Max was a kid, he thought he was a little bitch.

MJF has the diamond ring. He takes it off his pinky, puts it in his pocket, then slaps Joe in the face. Joe eats it, smirks. This must be Joe trying to be provoked. He wont take the bait. He’ll go through the tournament, he’ll beat everyone in it, and until then, have a nice day.

He allows MJF to leave the ring, but kicks the ropes just as MJF steps through them. Joe beats down on MJF then grabs his title and holds it high in the air.

MJF with a low blow!!!! He bites Joe’s forehead! Stomps in the corner over and over and over!!!! MJF rips his shirt off then runs…..RIGHT INTO AN STO! Joe grabs the head, corners MJF, sits him up top, and just as he sets up for Muscle Buster, here comes Adam Cole to for the save!

MJF is holding his neck, saying his left arm is numb. Medical staff pulls him out of the ring slowly. Doc helps him sit against the ropes. They walk him around the ring to the ramp as the crowd cheers.

But JOE has a mic. He says next time, he’ll tear MJF to pieces if he ever gets in front of him. Then calls MJF a bitch again.

As MJF and Cole walk up the ramp, Roderick Strong screams Adam Cole’s name in the mic as he and The Kingdom come down to the ring. Strong screams, “What about me?” Cole leaves to the back. Strong makes his way to the ring.

Backstage, Renee is with Toni Storm. She is asked about costing Ruby the title. Toni doesn’t recall this, says we must not look backwards, we must look forward. Next week, there will be a fourway Eliminator match with the winner facing Saraya.

Toni says this makes sense. Renee is so nosy. Next week, she will do an exclusive sneak peek into her life. You know what they say; chin up, tits out, and watch for the shoe!

Toni leaves camera, and we see a shoe fly towards Renee.

Lol

Hangman Adam Page comes out for some talky talk, but doesn’t get a word in before Swerve Strickland comes out with his Prince.

Swerve says being in a coffin for a few weeks can give a man some clarity. He thought of page, who is doing charity for juvenile delinquents who will amount to nothing anyway. He’s ashamed for Page.

When AEW started up, Page was the cornerstone. They build this all around him. He was handpicked to be the Franchise Player. He’s been tag team champion, world champion, part of the biggest show ever. But now he’s on a preshow. Maybe Page doesn’t want it anymore. Page hasn’t had any new gear in almost a year, no new merch in almost a year. He’s been eatin good, he knows because it’s been showing. Page doesn’t have matches on Dynamite, promos, no title matches. He took a backseat to The Elite because he’s gotten comfortable. Page was handed a silver platter. If Swerve got the chances Page got, he’d be the first black AEW Champion by now. He’ll leave Page with this:

Option A: Ride off into the sunset, let that contract fizzle out next to his career. Get out of the way and let Swerve take the slot that Page doesn’t want.

Option B: Man up, cowboy up, do what he’s gotta do to find the fire and show Swerve what Cowboy Shit is all about.

OR Page can fight Swerve for that spot. Just know this; Swerve has no regard for anyone. He will walk Page like a dog. Either way, Swerve is coming for the spot that Page acts like he don’t even want.

Page has had enough. IF he wanted a match, he could have asked for it in the back, but he’s done with this shit right now.

Page leaves the ring. Swerve laughs at him on the mic. It’s a shame his wife and kids have to watch Page walk away from more responsibilities.

Page runs up and grabs the mic, tells Swerve who told him it was a good idea-0—

Brian Cage comes from behind to attack Page! He hits a powerbomb then a Drill Claw to Page!
