Dynamite: The American hero mocks America as the American Dragon puts it all on the line

Greetings and salutations! It’s Wednesday, and you know what that means? It’s time for another edition of AEW Dynamite. This week on the show we have Darby Allin facing “Hangman” Adam Page. We also have Will Ospreay taking on Lance Archer as he prepares for All In. With all this and so much more, let’s get to the action.

MJF Speaks

AEW American Champion is out and in true MJF fashion he insults the crowd. He then announces that his America Championship is the most important title in the world. MJF then looks directly into the camera as he talks “real America”. MJF calls Will Ospreay a redcoat terrorist and says he will beat him yet again at AEW All In. As the crowd heats up, MJF tells them to show some respect and rise for their “American hero.”

This gets Will Ospreay running out, but MJF in true heel fashion dips out of the ring. Ospreay says he’s going to put MJF through pain that he can’t imagine. Ospreay continues to say that he knows Americans love their flag and country, but no one acknowledges MJF’s title because the former AEW International Champions worked hard to build its prestige. Ospreay ends things by telling MJF that he’s not worthy of holding the title and that he will bring prestige back to the championship.

MJF says he doesn’t think Ospreay won’t even make it to All In because of his next match against Lance Archer. This brings out Archer as we get into the first match of the night.
