Mercedes goes for a baseball slide, but Yuka counters and mocks her. Mercedes is mad, but Yuka makes her pay. Yuka then climbs to the top rope, but Mercedes runs away. Yuka is then dropped on the apron and Mercedes hits the Meteora.

After the break, we get a vignette for Takeshita and the Don Callis Family. We then get a promo from Taya Valkyria and Deonna Purrazzo. Good to see Tony remembered they existed in time for Dynamite. They insult Harley Cameron and say they're coming for her. From there, Mercedes comes out. Yuka is out next.

Mercedes Mone vs. Yuka Sakazaki

This should be interesting.

Yuka Sakazaki and Mercedes Mone will be the main event, but first there's a video highlighting The Hurt Syndicate winning the AEW Tag Team Titles. MVP calls them warriors and says they fought hard, but they ran into the most devastating tag team in pro wrestling. They then say they'll accept any challenge any time.

Next, a vignette airs hyping up the return of the Gunns. The video package didn't say when they'd be back.

Next, we go to Renee with Mariah May. She looks very unhappy but then returns to her smug attitude. She says it is great to be Huntsville and suggests changing the first letter to a C. That was vulgar but hilarious.

Renee asks about Toni Storm. Mariah snaps and says Toni isn't real and pushes Renee away. Mariah says she used Toni for her gold. She says Toni's most memorable moment was bleeding and crying in her hands. She says Toni Storm walked out of Japan and Mexico because she couldn't touch Mariah.

Mariah says Toni can play whatever Storm she likes, but the ending stays the same. She says she doesn't need to roleplay because when you're as good as Mariah, you don't need to change a thing.

As the Death Riders beat down Jay, Cope's music hits! Rated FTR then rush out and The Death Riders run away.

This could be okay. Jay dominates early. Every time Wheeler tries to get ahead, Jay keeps control. He eventually chops Yuta and Wheeler goes out to the floor.

Next, we get a segment with The Learning Tree. Jericho puts over his new movie. Big Bill then discusses taking out Powerhouse Hobbs and says Jericho's words make him stronger. Jericho says he's proud of himself and criticizes Bill for not taking Hobbs out for good. There is a split coming here.

The Learning Tree will then take on The Outrunners on Collision.

Next, we get a promo with Renee, Jon Moxley, and Claudio. She asks why the title is stored away in a briefcase constantly. He says people don't need to see it, but instead he's the embodiment of the championship. He says a title isn't something you win or hold up, it lives inside. None of this makes sense. He says he's trying to build a thousand Jon Moxleys.

Swerve goes for a stomp, but Ricochet holds scissors up to AR Fox's throat to stop it. Swerve backs off and Ricochet runs away. They will fight next week. Prince Nana angrily dances in the background.. right.

Both men clash in mid-air. Fox then starts a comeback and hits a variant of a brainbuster for a two-count. Fox then hits a big move for a two-count on Ricochet! This woke the crowd up, and there's a "This Is Awesome" chant!

Ricochet grabs the referee's shirt to stop Fox from getting a move in. Ricochet then hits a single leg Codebreaker. Teasing a Jericho feud?

Ricochet hits a dropkick and commentary promotes Ricochet vs. Swerve next week. It is hard not to notice how quiet AEW crowds are lately. They'll react briefly to big moves then get quiet again.

Ricochet goes for a People's Elbow, but instead does a moonsault. Did he just mock The Rock?!

Fox hits a stunner and then a brainbuster. Ricochet rolls out to the floor immediately. Fox then hits a tope over the top. Fox needs better gear than sweatpants.

Jeff is down and out and slowly gets to his knees. A faint "Double J" chant can be heard before MJF's music hits. He comes out with a microphone. MJF begins to talk and then levels Jeff with the Dynamite Diamond Ring. MJF stands over Jarrett and says he respects his elders, which is why he won't say I told you so. He then poses for the crowd.

Claudio locks in a sharpshooter, but Jeff counters it with one of his own. Wheeler Yuta throws in a chair and distracts the referee. Jeff ducks a chair shot, but Jon Moxley runs in and hits a DDT! Claudio then hits a Gotch piledriver and a second one which was botched and pins Jeff. That was not great..

Jeff finally starts fighting back with big punches. He tries to lock in the figure four, but Claudio stops it. Jeff begins to kick at Claudio's leg, but the crowd is pretty uninterested. That changes when Claudio drops Jeff and hits the Giant Swing, which causes a short pop, but his knee gives out. He might be hurt.

Jeff Jarrett is getting beat up heavily by Claudio. His dream of a world title match might be over. The crowd tries to cheer Jeff on, though, and he hits some elbows. Claudio quickly counters and levels him with a European Uppercut.

Claudio fights out and hits a clothesline. Jeff fires back and Claudio is sent to the floor. Wheeler Yuta then sneaks out from the back. Bryce yells at him, but Jeff is distracted as we go to break.

Next, Jeff Jarrett makes his way out. If Jeff wins this match, he gets a title shot against Jon Moxley.

Jeff Jarrett vs. Claudio Castagnoli

Can Jeff win? Claudio dominates early on, but Jeff hits an arm dragon and corner punches to take control.

We get a promo from Powerhouse Hobbs next. He says he wasn't cleared to be at Dynamite, but when he's back, he'll show Big Bill hell is just the beginning.

From there, The Death Riders' theme plays and Claudio Castagnoli makes his way out!

Next, we go backstage with Renee standing outside of Swerve Strickland's locker room. Adam Page is shown walking over and opening the door, but he says nobody is in there and shuts it. He then bumps into MJF and they have a stare down before Page walks away.

MJF complains about Adam walking around doing what he wants. MJF says he won't let anybody ruin his mood. He tells the camera, and Jeff Jarrett, that tonight Double J will go out against Claudio alone because Jeff refused to work with him. MJF makes a new offer and says it's one he can't decline. He says it's The Last Outlaw's Last Ride then says "ain't I great" like Jeff used to.

The music played to send Don Callis Family out, but then they awkwardly attack more with kicks and using a chair to hurt their ribs. Will Ospreay is bleeding from the mouth. The Don Callis Family swarm them again even when music plays.

Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher show up and attack Kenny and Will! They hit duel piledrivers and The Don Callis Family stands tall over Kenny and Will. Commentary mentions they're trying to end careers, but piledrivers mean nothing in AEW, so they'll be fine.

Archer was knocked to the floor and Will hits the Styles Clash out of nowhere for the win!

Will Ospreay defeats Brian Cage by pinfall

Post-match, Lance and Brian attack Will! They beat him down until Kenny comes out with a chair. He hits both Brian and Lance before checking on Will.

Brian Cage goes for a Powerbomb, but Will gets out and hits several supercuts. He goes for the cutter, but is leveled with a lariat. Cage then hits a spinning powerbomb for a two count.

Lance Archer gets caught cheating and Rick Knox yells at him, but not much happens. Cage goes for a powerbomb again, but Will counters and Cage awkwardly crashes into Archer. It did not look good. It looked very contrived.

Lance Archer causes a brief distraction and Cage levels Will with a clothesline. He then suplexes Will from the apron into the ring for a two count!

Cage remains in control and locks in a Bearhug. Will is able to get out of it and nails a corkscrew kick for a double down. Ospreay kicks up and hits forearms. As he fights back, commentary mentions the unfortunate setback of Kenny Omega hurt backstage.

Ospreay manages to send Cage to the floor. With the crowd behind him, he hits the Sasuke Special!

While Rick Knox is distracted, Lance Archer and Don Callis take cheap shots. Don then goes back on commentary while Brian hits shoulder blocks in the corner. The crowd isn't super hot, but they're solely behind Will.

Will tries to fire back with chops, only to be leveled by Brian. MJF is announced to talk tonight by the commentary team.

Will is able to recover and nails Brian, sending him to the floor. He then goes for a dive, but Cage side steps it and hits a shoulder tackle. Will is thrown to the barricade, but he jumps on it and lands on his feet! He goes for a dive but Cage catches him in a suplex position and walks him around the outside of the ring before dropping Will on the floor.

AEW Dynamite starts off hot with Will Ospreay's music hitting. He hugs a fan in the ring before Brian Cage comes out next alongside Don Callis and Lance Archer. As the bell sounds, Don Callis interrupts and has Will look at the screen. Kenny Omega is found hurt backstage!
