Moxley talks about how the BCC doesn’t go down. Moxley then tells Hangman Page he is going to get stepped on at Dynamite on the special Tuesday night Dynamite.
We go backstage with Renee Paquette interviewing Swerve In Our Glory. Lee says he stuck with Swerve because he believes in him. Lee asked Swerve do they really need to cheat to win and then walk off.
Jerome’s thoughts: Great opening match. The crowd was hot! The backstage interview could be a tease that Swerve In Our Glory could be heading for a breakup. For those that don’t know Swerve is the DEFY Champion (Seattle promotion) and he tends to work as a heel in that promotion.
-COMMERCIAL BREAK-
Back from the break Renee Paquette interview the Dark Order about their losses. Jose comes in and 10 tells him next week when he beats Rush, then Rush will leave the Dark Order alone for good. Stu Grayson made his return after being gone due to his contract not being renewed. Evil Uno, John Silver and Alex Reynolds put their hands together in a sign of unity, as the segment ended.
Jericho Appreciation Society is out next and the fans go crazy! JAS is in the ring. JAS says the family is back together. They say the JAS is going to be together forever. Anna JAS then introduces the man of the hour, the man with the power and the man that is too sweet to be sour – Daniel Garcia, who then has a mic. The fans chant Garcia! Garcia says everyone asks why did what he did on Wednesday. He said he did it because Chris Jericho said sports entertainers are superior. He said he was skeptical. Garcia tells the fans its dead and he will never be a pro wrestler and that Bryan Danielson is a pro wrestler. He said that sports entertainers beat pro wrestlers every time. He said his name is Daniel Garcia and he is a sports entertainer. Jericho then says a lesson learned to Daniel Garcia and a lesson taught to Danielson. Jericho says he is the best. Dalton Castle comes with out with The Boys to a huge ovation. Castle calls Jericho a stupid little goose. Castle says he broke his back for the ROH and is willing to give the people a real champion. He says he has peacock power that is fueled by the people in the building. He then challenges Jericho to a title match at Dynamite. Jericho says he is going to pull Castle’s feathers and accepts the challenge and says its the Jericho of Honor era.
Jerome’s thoughts: No title change expected, but Castle is great on the mic.
Anna Jay vs. Nyla Rose w/Vickie Guerrero and Marina Shafir
Anna Jay attempts an elbow strike, but Nyla avoids it and counters with punches to Anna. Anna attempts to run at Nyla, but is picked up and is slammed down. Nyla goes for the pin, but only gets a two count. Anna is down in the corner as Nyla goes for a cannonball, but Anna moves out of the way.

WINNER BY PINFALL: NYLA ROSE
Post-Match: Vicki is in the ring mocking Jade Cargill with a big sign with 10 for 10 wins. The Baddies make their way down. Security holds back The Baddies as Jade takes out security. Nyla, Vickie and Marina still have the TBS Title Belt.
Jerome’s thoughts: The highlight was Jade taking out security. The match with Nyla and Anna was clunky and the fans didn’t seem into it.
Isaiah Kassidy vs. Ethan Page
Ethan drops Kassidy with a pump fake. If Ethan wins, The Firm gets the contracts of Private Party and Matt Hardy. Page continues to take down Kassidy and then mocks Matt who is at ringside. Kassidy then hits a DDT on Page. Kassidy covers Page, but only gets a two count. Stokley Hathaway causes a distraction. Page has Kassidy in an Ego’s Edge and drops him for the win. Matt Hardy and Private Party are now under The Firm.
Jerome’s thoughts: Quick match – predictable, but it will be fun to see where this goes.

Post Match:
The Kingdom’s music hits and Maria Kanellis along with Mike Taven and Mike Bennett come out. She introduces herself as the first lady of professional wrestling. She then said they carried that company (ROH) on their backs. She then tells FTR the ROH tag team title belongs to them and they never got the credit they deserve. Maria then introduced Bennet and Taven, as FTR looks on, The Embassy takes out FTR and Spears. The Kingdom then comes in and helps The Embassy and we have five on three! Samoa Joe’s music hits! Out comes Joe and Wardlow! They make it down to the ring to even the odds as the heels scatter. Rampage goes off the air!
Jerome’s thoughts: Not a bad show tonight. The commentary team, even with Excalibur was good. They told the stories well. The Kingdom is a great get for AEW since they were part of ROH for many years. I still think that Rampage should be a full ROH show. However, I don’t know if WBD will go for it or not.
