With thirty seconds remaining, MJF shoved Ospreay into the referee, knocking the ref down! MJF blasted Will with a right hand, knocking out the champ and scoring the pin fall victory with two seconds remaining in the match!
New AEW International Champion…MJF!
“I’m assuming MJF had something in his hand, maybe the Dynamite Diamond Ring,” said Taz.
“There it is!” said Excalibur, as the ring was shown on the mat. “The referee didn’t see it, but we all saw it. 59 minutes and 58 seconds.”
The Acclaimed and the Ring of Honor World Champion Mark Briscoe were backstage!
Max Caster: “Mr. Briscoe, we know you’re in Blood & Guts and we know that you need a couple partners. The only way you get the best wrestler alive on your side is with the Acclaimed together. Plus, we just beat the Young Bucks a couple of weeks ago. We’ve got their number so it’s a no-brainer.”
Anthony Bowens: “And Max and I are this close to becoming AEW Tag Team Champions again! Plus, when you think of AEW you think the Acclaimed because everyone loves the Acclaimed!”
Mark Briscoe: “That’s right! You boys had my back a couple weeks ago so as far as I’m concerned, y’all are in. But I’m not the only one calling this shot.”
AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland walked onto the scene.
Swerve: “Listen! We’ve been through our fair share of squabbles over the years, so I know y’all are some real tough people. There’s no better people to go to war with than some people you’ve done battle with. So, all I’m saying is, y’all ready to get violent?”
Briscoe: “The Elite, we’re coming for you! Seven days and counting!”
Up next: TV Time with FTW Champion “The Learning Tree” Chris Jericho with “The Redwood” Big Bill, & “Bad Apple” Bryan Keith!
Chris Jericho: “Hi guys! Let’s talk about Dynamite 250 for AEW. I was on the very first Dynamite and I’ve been on almost every one since. And I’m never going to miss another Dynamite again. I’ll be on every episode until 500! When you listen to the Learning Tree, good things happen, and when you don’t, people get hurt!
“I’m begging you to listen to the Learning Tree. Look at all the people that didn’t listen over the past few weeks—Shibata, HOOK, Samoa Joe—they didn’t listen to the Learning Tree! I’m begging you, this has to stop. People are getting hurt! All of you realize you have to listen to the Learning Tree!
“Who would be crazy enough not to listen to the Learning Tree at this point? Who would be psychotic enough not to listen and use the teachings of Chris Jericho?”
Minoru Suzuki’s music began to play! Suzuki walked onto the ramp and down to the ring with a piece of paper in his hand.
Suzuki: “Next week!”
Bryan Keith pulled the paper out of Suzuki’s hand and read it: “Official order, AEW. Redwood and Bad Apple banned from ringside! FTW Title match at Blood & Guts!”
Suzuki headbutted Jericho! Big Bill and Bryan Keith stood back, flabbergasted, while Suzuki waved!
AEW World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks and AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada were backstage!
Nicholas: “Did you see that guys? We saw what you just said, the Acclaimed, Mark Briscoe, Swerve. It’s ridiculous! What pisses us off a little more is the Acclaimed thinking they’re going to be two-time tag team champions. Not on our watch!”
Matthew: “Guys I think you need a little bit of a reminder of just who we are! We’re the Elite! The greatest faction in the history of this company. And after next week we’ll have all the gold, and we’ll have all the power.”
Nicholas: “Not all the gold…not the World championship.”
Matthew: “But what we do to Swerve, let’s just say that that title may become vacant all of a sudden. You’re dealing with the most dangerous people in this business. And making his return to the Elite, “Hangman” Adam Page!”
TBS Champion “The CEO” Mercedes Moné walked by!
Mercedes: “I just want to thank you boys so much for banning Britt from backstage so she can’t celebrate Dynamite: 250 with us!”
Matthew: “Let’s just say there’s going to be no drama from the D.M.D. to the C.E.O. via your EVPs. And Rainmaker wants to know if you’ll do your cool dance for us.”
Mercedes: “My CEO dance? Of course!”
Okada: “So hot.”
TBS Open Challenge!
TBS & NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion “The CEO” Mercedes Moné

Mercedes applied the Statement Maker and forced Nyla to tap out!
“She may not be a dentist, but Mercedes is still the NJPW STRONG and TBS champion here tonight with her victory over Nyla Rose,” said Excalibur.
A fan at ringside in a Sting mask was holding up a Britt Baker sign. Mercedes grabbed the sign and tore it up. The fan pie-faced Mercedes, knocking the champ down. The fan removed the Sting mask and revealed herself to be...Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D.! Security formed a wall, separating Britt and Mercedes from one another!
“The Scapegoat” Jack Perry was backstage!
“Darby Allin, last week you wanted my attention. Well, you got it now. All you had to do was ask. Did you really have to go hurt Brandon Cutler? Maybe what I mean to say is, do you think I give a s—t about Brandon Cutler?”
Jack Perry smiled, as Brandon Cutler was injured at his feet. Jack picked up Cutler and threw him threw a set of doors leading to the boiler room.
Jack Perry: “Come find me tonight, and I’ll show you what a real sacrifice looks like.”
AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm walked onto the ramp with her back toward the camera!
“I thought we were supposed to hear from 2024 Women’s Owen Hart Cup Tournament Winner Mariah May but—”
She turned around to face the camera and it was Mariah May impersonating Toni Storm!
Mariah May walked to the ring.
Mariah May: “Let’s be honest. You all saw it coming. Everybody saw it coming except Toni Storm. A woman so desperate for the spotlight she didn’t realize she was giving it all away. The question shouldn’t be why, the question should be: Mariah, what took you so long?
“Honestly, I didn’t think it would last this long either. But it was so easy. And I was having so much fun stringing her along. I just wanted to see how far it would go. But then I saw Wembley and I thought, why take the old horse out back when I can kill it in front of as many people as possible.
“I’ve been Toni Storm and now I can be so much more. But don’t worry, Toni, I still love you. In fact, Toni, I have never loved you more than when you were on your knees, bleeding, crying, screaming my name. That was your greatest performance. And my greatest performance will be at All In. Because now All Elite Wrestling is all about Mariah!”
Champion vs. Champion!
AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland (with Prince Nana)

Okada tripped up Swerve from behind, pulling Swerve out of the ring! It was five on four, with Team AEW outnumbered by The Elite! Security was trying to keep the athletes separated.
Darby Allin’s music began to play and the place erupted!
“Darby said he was coming for The Elite,” said Excalibur.
“Where is he? I don’t see him anywhere,” replied Schiavone.
Darby Allin descended from the rafters!

Both teams began to brawl, five on five! It was out of control!
“My God! Blood and Guts! Blood and Guts next week!” screamed Schiavone.
