After aa heinous betrayal and murder attempt, we will hear from Jon Moxley. We will also see an AEW Women’s Championship Eliminator match as AEW Women’s World Champion “The Glamour” Mariah May takes on Queen Aminata.

He says that Bryan Danielson doesn’t have the stomach to do what it takes anymore. Moxley talks about the formation of the Blackpool Combat Club and what it was supposed to represent. Moxley then says the egos in AEW are running out of control and he can’t take it anymore and says that he and the rest of the BCC tried things Danielson’s way of diplomacy, but it’s failed and he now chooses war.

We then cut to Darby Allin skateboarding through the parking lot.
