Shida: “What did you say? I came up short against Mercedes? Did you watch the match, Lexy? I had Mercedes beat I was one Katana away from being the TBS Champion before her watchdog got off her leash. But no one’s talking about that! I walked into Wembley last year as the World champion and I will be a champion again! I will not be an afterthought. I am the Ace of this division and maybe I need to start showing everyone what that really means!”

“What’s next for you guys?” asked Lexy.
Lio: “I’ll tell you what’s next. You can expect the unexpected when it comes to this group right here. We’ve got the hottest tag team in AEW in Top Flight, we’ve got the hottest rising star in AEW today, Action Andretti. And of course, you’ve got me, one of the best wrestlers in the world, Lio Rush.”
Dante: “See now, we are going to run the tag division. We can do any combination at any time. We can do me and Lio. We can do me and Darius. We can do Darius and Action. We can do me and Action.”
Darius: “Don’t forget about the Trios division.”
Dante: “The Trios division? See, now that’s a whole different thing. We can do me, Lio, and Action. We could do Action, Darius, and me.”
Action: “We can do a whole bunch of different combinations, but Darius and Dante, they’re the brothers of the group. But the four of us have got a brotherhood like nobody else.”
Lio: “So basically what he’s saying is any combination is a winning combination and you’ve got to believe we’re going to take this division on the highest flight possible.”
