Moxley then says that he did what he said he would do to Omega and Omega will never be the same again. Moxley then says that Omega is a “radical son of a b—-, and he does respect him.” Moxley then says that he doesn’t think any one else in the locker room has the stones to step in the ring with him. Moxley then says that it won’t matter because he is going to run through the roster until he is the last man standing.

It was then announced that next week’s episode of AEW Dynamite will feature a Dynamite Dozen Battle Royale with the final two men in the match meeting in a singles match the week after to win some kind of a diamond ring.
Tony Schiavone then talks with Allie who says that she feels like she has been doing well on AEW Dark and wants to show what she can do on Dynamite. The lights are acting weird and then suddenly go out. Awesome Kong and Brandi Rhodes are on the stage when the lights go up. The two make their way towards Allie, who just swings away on Kong.

Jericho then says that he still wants a “thank you” from the AEW roster and employees. Jericho then says that he has beaten everyone that has been put in front of him, even Cody. Jericho then says that Cody isn’t as good as he thinks he is and is “an entitled millennial son of a b—.” Cody’s music hits, but out comes MJF. MJF gets in the ring with Jericho. We then get an A-hole chant from the fans as well as a lot of booing for MJF.
MJF then says that if he hadn’t thrown in the towel on Cody, his career would have been over. MJF then says that he is not the villain, Cody is the villain. MJF then says that “Cody couldn’t give any less of a s— about any one of them.” MJF then says that the real Cody only cares about himself,” MJF then says that the real Cody is a user and just saw a young MJF as one of his puppets and never gave a damn about him. MJF then says that Cody didn’t want to put him under his wing, it was under his thumb. MJF then says that he is the new face of AEW because he is better then Cody Rhodes and Cody Rhodes knows it.
MJF then talks to Jericho and says that if he had a Mount Rushmore, Jericho would be like 3rd of 4th. MJF then says that he heard from a little birdie that Jericho wanted him in the Inner Circle. Jericho then says that he heard MJF wants to join the group. MJF isn’t so sure he wants to join the “circle jerk” and doesn’t think he needs the group. Jericho then says that it almost seems like MJF wants to be a bit like Jericho: three letter names, they both like scarves. They then go back and forth about MJF joining the group. They then both start saying they know who the biggest jackass in AEW is. They stop and both say Cody Rhodes. They then hug.
Cody then comes out and stares at both guys. Cody then takes on both guys, putting them down. Wardlow then makes his debut and takes out Cody. He beats up Cody some more, then chokes Cody over the edge of the ring. Referees and others then finally come out to help Cody Rhodes out.

We then head backstage where a crazy brawl breaks out between The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) and Proud ‘N’ Powerful (Santana and Ortiz). Matt puts Ortiz through a table. Santana then climbs up on top of the forklift and hits a crossbody on both Young Bucks. Nick and Santana then keep battling. Santana throws Nick into a bathroom door that swings open and Orange Cassidy is just standing there. Santana slowly closes the door and eats a superkick by Matt as we go to a commercial break.
Back from the commercial break and the two teams battle their way to ringside before enough security and referees can keep them separated. Young Bucks then superkick some of the security and go after Santana and Ortiz again, but end up taking some shots from that loaded sock. Ortiz then holds Nick’s leg up as Santana swings away on it over and over. They then focus on Matt. He sprays a white circle on the floor of the stage and then double powerbomb Matt right through it. Brandon Cutler then comes out and tries to get them to stop. Santana and Ortiz act like they are gonna stop, but come over and swing away on him.
