IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli were backstage! Moxley had a warning for Konosuke Takeshita ahead of their IWGP World Heavyweight Championship Eliminator Match next Sunday at AEW Double Or Nothing.
Moxley: “Takeshita is a blue chipper, and he came after me! What’s my secret? What’s the secret of the BCC? You get used to being a target. Guys like you, the Don Callis Family, you’re chasing the gold and the fame and fortune. BCC, we don’t care about that. We do it because this is who we are. We don’t hunt because we are hungry, we hunt because we are lions. We don’t play for money, we play for blood.”
Claudio: “A lot of times I feel like I’m the voice of reason in the BCC, even if no one listens, and that’s fine. But things keep repeating and repeating and I don’t like standing here and talking to the camera. I think what matters is going out there and showing it week after week.
“You know how many people stand back here and practice their lines in their mirror and then come out here and tell you it’s been their dream their entire life. But it’s all fake because they don’t live it. We can see through the fake. Because you try to make a name out of us. Big mistakes. Because you are dealing with the real deal right here.”
Moxley: “Takeshita, you started this game. At Double Or Nothing, we’re just going to finish it.”
Orange Cassidy was backstage about to be interviewed about Trent and their match from Dynamite two weeks ago, when Don Callis interrupted!
Callis: “Orange, I know how hard that was. You had to put down your best friend. I had to put down family. I know better than anyone what you’re going through. In fact, after what I had to do last year and put down a family member, the best thing you can do with what you’re going through is get right back on the horse. You need to start wrestling again. You need some opponents. I have access to everyone.”
Callis put his arm around Orange, and they walked away together, Callis continuing the conversation.
HOOK vs. Johnny TV (with Taya Valkyrie)!
Hook used a judo throw on Johnny TV. Johnny stunned Hook with a running knee strike. Hook hit a belly to belly suplex and followed up with a lariat. Hook hurled Johnny TV with another judo throw.
Johnny retaliated with a jaw breaker. Taya distracted the ref while Johnny connected with a springboard kick. Johnny landed the Starship Pain on Hook for a two-count! Johnny went for another Starship Pain, but Hook avoided it. Hook applied the Red Rum and Johnny TV tapped out!
“Hook will go on to Dynamite in the trios qualifier match to see if he can get another shot at the FTW Title,” said Schiavone.

Shibata rocked Rocky with a PK kick and then put Rocky in the figure four again, and this time Rocky tapped out!
“Shibata moves on! So now we know two men,” said Tony.
“That’s right. Shibata advances alongside Hook, and one more competitor, and Wednesday night, and then that winner will face Chris Jericho for the FTW Championship,” replied Nigel.

Boulder picked apart Bryan Keith with short arm lariats. Bryan Keith ran into a straight kick from Boulder. Boulder powerslammed Bryan Keith for a near fall.
Bryan Keith stunned Boulder with a leaping European Uppercut and then a cutter, and Bryan Keith pinned Boulder!
“It’ll be Bryan Keith, Hook, and Shibata at Dynamite on Wednesday, and the three men will wrestle for a shot at Chris Jericho’s FTW Championship,” said Tony Schiavone.
“The Bastard” Pac was backstage with a message for Bullet Club Gold!
Pac: “I saw their little television message and credit where credit is due. They are hilarious chaps. And typically, their naughtier behavior would rattle my bastard feathers, but not today. I couldn’t care less. You expect me to care about those idiots. Make me feel anything. I’m begging you. I’m daring you. Make me care. Try harder. Make me care.”
The Unified World Trios Champions the Bang Bang Gang were making their entrance and when they turned around, we saw “The Bastard” Pac was at their feet, unconscious!
“That’s Pac! What the hell?” asked Schiavone.
Jay White: “I bet you care now, don’t you, bastard? I told you! Stay out of Bang Bang business!”
“The Professor” Serena Deeb vs. Anna Jay!

Isiah sent Orange into the turnbuckles. Isiah moved the steel ring steps and nodded to Trent.
“I’m going to finish this job, but when I do, you owe me some big bucks,” Isiah said to Trent.
Trent tried to piledrive Orange on the steel ring steps but Orange countered with a back drop, sending Kassidy crashing onto the arena floor!

Isiah used the referee to stun Orange with the Silly String! Isiah followed up with a swanton for a near fall on Orange! Orange pulped Isiah with the Beach Break out of nowhere and scored the pin!
Don Callis was smiling backstage, watching the monitor.
Lexy Nair interviewed Trent who was still in the front row.
Trent: “Being at ringside it’s plainly obvious to me that I’m a better professional wrestler than Orange Cassidy. The only reason he beat me the other week is because he cheated. He doesn’t think the rules apply to him. While we’re out here, I’d like to issue a challenge. Double Or Nothing. A straight up wrestling match, myself against that narcissist—”
Orange heard enough and attacked Trent! Security pulled Orange away from Trent!
