“The score is one to one between these two men. I’d love to see a rubber match,” added Tony Schiavone.
The Death Riders were backstage!
Wheeler Yuta: “Jay White, you are a marked man for interfering in our match!”
Moxley: “Let’s talk about FTR, whom I’ve always had tremendous respect for. They took old school to the next level like our generation does. Two of the toughest SOBs east of the Mississippi. But they crossed the line by interfering in my business. But they paid the price. But then they created a whole new mess and brought a friend in Cope.
“What do we know about Cope? An innovator, a perennial champion. Spent nearly a decade on the shelf with a broken neck. He was extinct and defied the laws of nature to come back. Adam Copeland came up the hard way. He’s been through everything and seen everything. But he’s always been a frontrunner.
“This new world, the AEW of the future, in my world, survival comes at a cost. You’ll have to evolve into something new, but I promise you, you will find nothing good down this road. Hell on earth.”

Footage played from Dynamite this past Wednesday. Christopher Daniels was backstage telling “Hangman” Adam Page that he believed in him.
Page: “What have you given anyone? What have you given wrestling? I see an old man clinging on to a sport that left him behind a long time ago. If you hadn’t already lost your mind to old age, you would have hung it up five years ago while you still had an ounce of dignity.”
Hangman slapped Christopher Daniels. Daniels fired back with repeated headbutts, busting himself wide open! “I’m the ‘Fallen Angel’ and you’ll respect me!”
“Is that what you want? You’ll get it!” replied Page.
