—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
Schiavone tries to interview Omega in the ring but PAC interrupts from backstage. PAC says he doesn’t know what he has to do to get his attention anymore. Riho – who was nearby for an interview that was going to happen – is approached by PAC. PAC says that since Omega doesn’t seem to care about Michael Nakazawa so we’ll see how much he cares about Riho.
PAC says all Omega has to do to stop what’s about to happen is to agree to the match. Omega frantically accepts and PAC laughs saying he would never put his hands on a woman. “I’m a bastard, Kenny, not a beast,” PAC says. “She is.” Nyla Rose then attacks Riho from behind and Powerbombs her through a table!

Backstage a pissed off Chris Jericho says that Moxley will pay for what he did to Santana. “What kind of piece of trash stabs a man in the eye,” Jericho hilariously asks. Santana says that Moxley attempted to take his sight and now he’s going to pay. “You have no idea what it’s like walking in my shoes for the past 29 years of my life,” Santana continued. “Next week, I’m going to take you on a walk through the dark. Next week, Jon Moxley, eye for an eye.”
The Bucks bicker with Page backstage but Page doesn’t seem to mind as he sips on a huge pitcher of beer.
In two weeks, there will be a Battle Royal to name the next contenders for the Tag Team Titles at Revolution. Also, Wardlow faces Cody Rhodes in a Steel Cage Match. PAC vs. Kenny Omega in a 30-Minute Ironman Match takes place in three weeks.
Earlier today Dustin Rhodes says it will be uncomfortable for him to watch it but MJF needs to know that Cody is a lot tougher than MJF thinks.
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
MJF makes his way down to the ring alongside Wardlow. After Cody comes out and takes his shirt and jacket off, he demands Cody hand over his own belt to be whipped with. Cody obliges and assumes the position.
MJF channels my father circa 1995 as he snaps the belt to cause Cody to wince. MJF takes his time in between lashes and welts immediately start showing up. A bunch of heels walk onto the stage to watch.
Every time Cody looks like he’s going to hit MJF he stops before he does it and MJF keeps taunting him to do it instead. After the third one, Cody falls to his knees and Arn Anderson marches down to the ring. Arn tells Cody not to give MJF “the satisfaction” and Cody gets back to his feet.
MJF taunts Arn saying that he can’t help Cody anymore. After the fifth lash Dustin Rhodes runs out and wants to take the last five for his brother. MJF refuses and tells Dustin to get out of the ring.
After two more quick ones, The Bucks come out to show support to Cody. After the eight lash, MJF screams at Cody to “stay down bitch.” Cody refuses and MJF hands the belt over to Wardlow. Wardlow absolutely destroys Cody with the belt.
Brandi Rhodes walks out and tells Cody he has to do it and holds his hand. Cody stands back up for the final whip. MJF hits Cody in the chest for the final one. MJF gets pissed off and kicks Cody in the nuts before retreating through the crowd.
That was extremely well done. It's very awkward to see Brandi in that role again after being an evil cult leader for the past three months, though. Great stuff nonetheless. #AEWDynamite
