Can He Do it One More Time?

Before Omega could head to the ring, Ospreay approached him and tried to tell him it was a bad idea to accept Max's stipulation. He told Will he is going out guns blazing and went to the ring.

Omega said he has been wrestling more than half his life, and it has always been his pleasure to give the crowd everything he has.

He said there is a selfish part of him that thinks he can win the world title one more time. Omega said he wants to face Ospreay at Wembley, but he has to go through MJF first. He namedropped Cody Rhodes and Adam Page as people who have fallen to this stipulation.

He said the cost is not too high, and he is willing to put it all on the line. MJF attacked him from behind as he was about to leave the ring. Omega tackled him and unloaded on him until security showed up.

Security had a hard time keeping them apart, but they were eventually separated. The show ended with MJF standing in the ring while MJF was on the stage.

Survival of the Fittest Part 3

We were down to Shida, Persephone and Statlander when the show returned. Persephone hit a German suplex on Statlander for a close two-count. They took each other out with clotheslines, but Shida was unable to pin either of them when she tried to capitalize on it.

Persephone tried to form an alliance with Shida to fight Statlander together, but the former champion fought back and eliminated Persephone instead.

PERSEPHONE ELIMINATED

Shida hit a falcon arrow but couldn't get the three-count. She grabbed the title belt and prepared to use it as a weapon, but Statlander ducked and kicked it out of her hands.

They traded some pinfall attempts before Shida applied an ankle lock. Persephone came back and nailed Statlander with the title while she was trying to escape. The ref called for the bell with Stat couldn't respond.

WINNER: HIKARU SHIDA

The new champion sat on top of Statlander as she posed with the belt. Persephone said she owes her a title shot for helping her win.

Up next, Omega will respond to MJF's stipulation idea from earlier in the show.

Survival of the Fittest Part 2

We returned to see that all five of the remaining competitors were still in the match. Shida was taking it to anyone who came near her, but Maika took her down with a clothesline. Shida stacked up Maika and pinned her.

MAIKA ELIMINATED

Aminata started trading shots with Shida while Persephone and Stat recovered at ringside. It looked like Aminata was going to eliminate Shida, but Persephone rolled her up to score a second elimination.

QUEEN AMINATA ELIMINATED

Commercial Break

Survival of the Fittest Part 1

Stat, Harley Cameron, Maika, Hikaru Shida, Queen Aminata and Persephone all started brawling as soon as the ref called for the bell.

They paired off and started fighting in different corners. Everyone took turns hitting moves until it came down to Shida and Persephone.

Cameron and Persephone formed an alliance and took out a few of the other competitors together, but Persephone ended up eliminating her first.

HARLEY CAMERON ELIMINATED

Commercial Break

It's Main Event Time

The Survival of the Fittest match for the vacant TBS title closed the show. Kris Statlander was out first.

Welcome Back👏👏👏

White said he was out for 459 days, and a lot has happened while he was gone. He mentioned Ospreay and the Death Riders, but this isn't about them. It's about the Bang Bang Gang.

He referenced The Baja Men and asked, "Who let the dogs out?" He said he used to be friends with Clark Connors and David Finlay and has a lot of history with them, and he even put over Finlay as one of the most natural wrestlers ever.

Switchblade said he is a cut above, and he is coming for Finlay and The Dogs.

Christian Cage Never Forgets

We got another backstage interview from after Forbidden Door with Cage and Cope following their win. Christian asked Copeland what the deal is with Jay White, and Copeland said White owed him a favor and now they are even.

Cage said he had a serious problem with Switchblade and walked away. Back in the arena, White made his way to the ring with The Bang Bang Gang by his side.

Swirl vs. Mox and Ospreay Part 2

We returned to see The Swirl back in control of Moxley while Ospreay was down on the apron recovering from something. Jay Lethal cheered on his friends from ringside while Marina Shafir paced next to the ring.

The ref had a hard time making Christian and Johnson adhere to the rules of the match by keeping one man on the apron, but Moxley didn't care. He kept finding ways to fight back.

Lethal tripped Moxley, so Shafir threw him with an exploder suplex at ringside. Moxley turned Johnson inside out with a clothesline before tagging in a fresh Ospreay to take over.

Moxley and Ospreay worked together to take out both men. They hit the Paradigm Shift and Hidden Blade back-to-back on Johnson for the win.

WINNERS: WILL OSPREAY AND JON MOXLEY

The Swirl vs. Jon Moxley and Will Ospreay Part 1

When the show returned, Renee checked in with Omega and The Young Bucks. The Bucks were conflicted about the stipulation with MJF. Back in the arena, Black Christian and Lee Johnson took on Moxley and Ospreay in a tag match.

The Swirl wanted to get an early advantage with an attack before the bell. Once Ospreay was out of the ring, they double-teamed Moxley and worked on his leg. Moxley started to fight them off, but a unique double-team move from the Swirl ended with him on his back.

Ospreay for the tag and he planted Christian in the middle of the ring. He hit a nice hurricanrana and hyped up the crowd before hitting a slingshot crossbody to take out both opponents.

Commercial Break

This Feud is Far From Over

Tommaso Ciampa was doing an interview with Renee backstage when Chris Jericho threw a garbage can at him.

They brawled into the area outside near the production truck. Ciampa gained the upper hand and grabbed a drill, basically trying to kill Jericho, but Y2J fought back

Security eventually separated them, but it's clear they aren't finished with each other yet.

Knight vs. Rush Part 2

We returned to see Knight still favoring his right knee. Every time he tried to use his agility for something, it didn't work.

Rush nailed him with a kick to the head, followed by a stunner for a two-count. He cranked on Knight's head in a submission until the champ made it to the ropes to force a break. Doyle pulled him out of the ring to save him, so Rush jumped on him.

Doyle caught him, but Lio sent him into the ring post. The Jet jumped off the apron to hit a clothesline, and he hit a springboard clothesline when he got back into the ring.

Despite a good effort from Rush, Knight ended up hitting his finisher to retain the belt.

WINNER: KEVIN KNIGHT

After the match, Darby Allin's music played and he came out on the stage. He challenged Knight to a match for the title and said if he said no, he would never be rid of Allin. Knight was about to agree to the fight, but Callis took the mic before he could.

He said Allin is a great wrestler and champion, but he crossed the line at Forbidden Door with the explosion at FD, so he will never get a shot at the title.

Kevin Knight vs. Lio Rush Part 1

The crowd chanted for Lio as the ref called for the bell. Rush put a backpack in the middle of the ring and taunted Knight, who was nervous after the bag exploded in his face at Forbidden Door.

He finally opened it to reveal the ROH TV title painted black. Rush rolled him up for a quick two-count to kickstart the action.

Knight seemed to injure his knee, so Lio immediately went after it. Knight regrouped with Callis at ringside, but when he got back on the apron, Rush knocked him off with his legs before hitting a suicide dive.

Rush was firmly in control and scared Callis as the show cut to commercial.

Commercial Break

The CEO Wants More Gold

Mercedes gave a promo from a dock and bragged about being a two-time Owen winner. She said winning the world title is the last step in her plan.

Back in the arena, Lio made his way to the ring to face Knight.

El Idolo Solo

Andrade said he is done with the Don Callis Family and it's time for him to go after MJF and the world title. He said his catchphrase to get a pop before the Don Callis Family attacked him from behind.

Jake Doyle, Lance Archer, Brian Cage and Kevin Knight all participated in the attack while Callis directed traffic.

Callis had him tossed out of the ring so Knight could get ready for his match against Lio Rush for the TNT Championship.

Still Cocky

Renee interviewed MJF backstage after the break. He said payback is coming for Andrade after he put his hands on him at Forbidden Door.

He listed off a bunch of opponents he has defeated before saying he is more than ready for Omega next week. He claimed to be the best wrestler in the world and called Omega gutless.

Ospreay walked up and told a lewd joke before asking why he wanted that stipulation. MJF said it's because he is the champ, and he promised to see Ospreay at Wembley Stadium.

Back in the arena, Tony Schiavone brought out Andrade El Idolo for an interview.

Pouring Salt in the Wound

MJF decided he wasn't done yet and nailed Briscoe with his Dynamite Diamond Ring just to be a jerk. He bragged from the turnbuckle into the camera about being the best before making the medical staff leave the ring.

Friedman lined up for another hit, but Kenny Omega showed up to send MJF running for the hills. He grabbed a mic and reiterated that he intends to take the world title from him and challenged him to a match tonight.

MJF said it was bad enough he already had to fight Briscoe, so he turned down his challenge, but he said he had another idea. He offered to wrestle Omega next week under the condition that if Omega loses, he will never get to challenge for the belt again. He gave him until the end of the show to respond.

MJF vs. Briscoe Part 2

We returned to see both men throwing punches in the middle of the ring. The Chicken got the upper hand and clotheslined the champion out of the ring.

Briscoe exposed the concrete floor under the padding at ringside and prepared to hit the Jay Driller. MJF countered and dropped him onto the hard floor instead. Briscoe fought out of a tombstone and slammed MJF on the concrete.

He got on the apron and hit the Froggy Bow on the floor before rolling him back in for a two-count. MJF took control again outside the ring, but he was showing a lot of wear and tear.

Briscoe nailed him with an uppercut, followed by a blockbuster from the barricade. He put MJF on the table and climbed to the top turnbuckle to put him through it with a Froggy Bow.

When Briscoe went for the pin, MJF barely got his boot on the rope. They went back and forth trading bit strikes until both men went down.

Briscoe hit the Jay Driller, but MJF managed to kick out at two. The Chicken put him on the top rope for an avalanche Jay Driller, but the champ rakes the eyes to escape.

MJF hit an Alabama Slam followed by the Heatseeker for the pin and the win.

WINNER: MJF

MJF vs. Mark Briscoe Part 1

When we went back to the arena, Briscoe made his way to the ring to challenge MJF for the world title. Both men stared daggers at each other as the official introductions were made. MJF forced Justin Roberts to give him a special intro.

They circled each other as the crowd chanted for Briscoe. They went for a lockup, but MJF hit a kick to the gut. Briscoe immediately responded by planting him on the mat and stomping on him in the corner.

MJF grabbed him and hit a piledriver out of nowhere, but it only got him a two-count. He started biting at the wound Briscoe had from Forbidden Door on his head to add insult to injury.

The Chicken was bleeding from the head, and MJF took advantage by scratching at him with his nails. MJF started to look confident as a bloody Briscoe struggled to stand up.

Mark flipped out of a back body drop and surprised the champ with some palm strikes and a crane kick.

Friedman tripped him on the top rope, but Briscoe countered a superplex and bit him on the head to get some payback. He hit a diving elbow drop for a near-fall.

Briscoe sent him out of the ring and hit a cannonball through the ropes. He brought a steel chair into the ring so he could set it up for another dive like Sabu used to do. He pulled a table out and set it up next to the ring.

MJF prevented him from using the table and sent him crashing onto the apron.

Commercial Break

Here We Go!

Dynamite is on the air! Excalibur welcomed us to the show before throwing to a video of Renee Paquette interviewing Will Ospreay after his win on Sunday.

Moxley showed up and Ospreay thanked him for showing up at ringside for his win. Mox told him that AEW can be something great, but the business has always been full of carnies and liars.

He told Will it's up to them to preserve the art and the craft for the future. He offered Ospreay an official Death Riders patch and told him he was proud of him.

After Moxley walked away, Ospreay ran into Kenny Omega. He also said he is proud of Will, but he still had doubts about the Death Riders.

MJF walked up and Omega said if MJF survives Briscoe, he is coming for the title.
