Darby Allin and Sting cut a promo with Darby saying that Matt Hardy’s body is breaking down and he is buying people’s respect when once he earned it.

A pissed off Jon Moxley earlier today says he can’t get the sound out of his head of the Good Brothers taking his brother, Kingston, out. He says the Bucks can’t figure out whether they want to be in the fight or not and he asks what side they are on. He says he still has burns on his skin and that pisses him off, too. Moxley says he told AEW that Cezar Bononi looks good and they could make some money with him but not if he kills him. He says someone is getting dropped on their head tonight.

Team Taz has a message for AEW and Taz says everything is fine with them despite what the internet says, but Ricky Starks interrupts him and he feels like old times after they all teamed together on AEW Dark. He asks Cage what he thinks and Cage says it’s a first for Starks wanting his opinion and says he thinks if he tagged Cage in sooner they might have won earlier. Taz stops them from arguing and says everything is fine with the group.

In the Pinnacle locker room MJF says he has a gift for his boys and introduces their new personal stylist that he is giving them.

Alex Marvez interviews the Young Bucks elsewhere in the Dynamite Zone (my name, no one freak out). Don Callis interrupts them and says he has some family business with the Bucks. Nick walks away and Callis says he needs to talk to Matt. He says he thought Matt loved Kenny Omega like he did and he says he broke Kenny’s heart. Callis says he chose AEW over Japan or the WWE because of the Bucks and he says the Bucks turned their backs on family. He asks Matt if he is so dead inside that he feels nothing for the people that love him and asks him what is wrong with him. Callis slaps Matt and Matt almost attacks him but he stops. Callis asks if there is anything left inside Matt and calls him pathetic before walking away.
