Renee questions this. Don says he and his brothers used to fight and be fine. Don’s family wins, they’ll all be a family afterwards.

We are back and YOUR World Champ is here.

Samoa Joe is out suited an booted and he stands here proudly our champion. He comes with a spirit of apology. He is the one who re-enacted the ranking system to ensure only the best fought him. It was all going so well until last week when Page and Strickland fought to a draw. He figured that would put them to the back of the line, but they took a page out of the Texas playbook and made the match bigger and dumber. They reward mediocrity around here, and instead of telling both men that they don’t belong in a ring with him, he finds himself in a threeway match. A crime has been committed, and now there must be repercussions. He will hurt one, if not both. They may walk in but they will limp out. He is Samoa Joe, he stands here champion, and there is nothing anyone can do about that.

Swerve Strickland isn’t too pleased. He comes out in some Lost & Founds and tells Joe this wasn’t supposed to be personal, but the more Joe runs his mouth, he cant help but get the feeling that it is becoming personal. He tells Joe that when he won the title, he said he’d the new protocol was show up with your reputation and resume. Hunger is what defines the greats? He’s on his way to becoming one of the greatest of all time. No one outhustles him, outworks him, and outgrinds him. Check his resume and put some respect on it. Fifteen years he’s been doin this. One day, maybe he’ll go down as one of the best, currently, maybe one day. After this year, he’s proven exactly that. Today is that day. He’s gone toe-to-toe with former world champs, some of the best legends, and the same thing happens every time. This is his house and the only thing that will change on march 3 is that he will be holding the title above his head.

Here comes Hangman Adam Page who wants to set the record straight. He wasn’t mad after last week. He says the winner of the match last week became the Number One Contender, and Swerve couldn’t do it. If this was up to Page, at Revolution, it would be between two men who value and respect the title and all it stands for. He tells Swerve that he doesn’t deserve one second of Page’s time. He tells him that page doesn’t deserve five more minutes because he couldn’t get the job done. He doesn’t deserve to be in this match.

Joe splits them apart, tells them to back up, says this domestic dispute ends tonight. Come Revolution, he’s whipping both their asses.

Toni Storm has a cool short video called Wet Ink that covers her friendship with Deonna.

We are LIVE with Deonna Purrazzo backstage. Toni talks too much, says Deonna. She’ll keep it short and sweet: “I’m going to break your arm, bitch.”

Ah, this has officially entered Stage 3 of a Women’s Feud – wherein someone is called a bitch.

Tony is in the middle of the ring. Matthew says they are undefeated this year. This makes them the top, unbeatable tag team in AEW. He thinks it’s safe to assume that they are number one contenders.

Tony says Sting is not here. WE get a graphic of them being called the #1 Contenders. Tony says Sting isn’t here because of last week. Matt says he’s gotta listen to Tony talk trash every single week. He thinks this might be a breach of contract. Publicly disparaging the company’s EVP? Bush league.

Nick gives him a $1,000 fine. Is that a problem? Nick shoulder checks Tony down to the mat. Matt stops Nick, says he is a bit of a hot head, sorry. They love him, just don’t let it happen again. They offer to help Tony, each grabbing a hand, then pull up ready to EVP-Trigger him, but here comes Darby and a bat! The Bucks clear the ring.

Darby grabs a mic, asks what the original mission statement was: To Change The World. When he was homeless, and they first started, they begged him for a job. He had to sit by and watch their shit friends get hired. Thank God at the time there was an EVP with a sense of brains. He isn’t talking about Omega. Darby brings up their interview last year when they said they resigned because the travel was light and the money was good. No longer about changing the world. He though this was All Elite wrestling, but it’s all Friendship wrestling. Think of the first episode – Darby wasn’t on it, but Brandon Cutler was. Darby doesn’t know what kind of fights they got into at Home school, but this is Sting’s final match. They don’t understand what they’re asking. This is a man that has nothing left to lose. Young Bucks v Darby and Sting, the titles on the line, it’s official.
