The Outcasts’ Saraya came to the ring, joined by Harley Cameron!
Harley: “Tomorrow is Saraya’s birthday. Not a single person in this entire building has said anything to her. You should all be ashamed! I will say this, I have something for you, Saraya.”
Harley began to sing “Happy Birthday”, but Saraya stopped her.
Saraya: “Not now, I’m not in the mood. Let’s recap the past year of my life, shall we? Last year at All In, I won the AEW Women’s World Championship. And then I lost it, and I didn’t even get a bloody rematch. And then I lost friends, and then I’m mysteriously omitted from pay-per-views and shows. And they had the audacity to not put me on All In this year?!”
AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm walked onto the ramp, interrupting Saraya!
Toni Storm: “I am about to fight for my life against Mariah May, but I will never forget everything that we’ve been through together. You want this title? You want to be on All In? Well, happy birthday. Next week on Dynamite, you beat me, then you can have it all!”
Saraya: “Toni, we’ve been friends for a long time and the reason is because you’re stupid! Next week I’m going to kick your ass!”
Toni: “Darling, you’re going to need a bigger foot!”

Nick stunned Kip with the Wayne’s World and then a double underhook into a DDT for a two-count on Kip!
“This is something right here!” said Daddy Magic.
