Perry: “Everything you believe in, I’ve already believed. This is my dream, and I gave everything to this because I loved it and needed it. And it turned its back on me just the same. But I see this now for what it really is. You still think there’s good and bad. You’re afraid to be the person you have to be. You’re afraid to sacrifice everything that you love and that is why you’re not ready.”

Kris Statlander was backstage!
Kris Statlander: “Mercedes, I’m sorry that I crushed your ‘Brickhouse’ on Dynamite but if you are what you say you are, me coming for your TBS Title at Full Gear should be no big deal. You’re afraid because you know that I’m locked in, and the title is you. Be prepared to prove your worth!”
AEW World Champion Jon Moxley came out with Marina Shafir and Wheeler Yuta!
Moxley: “We are live in Philadelphia. The home of Orange Cassidy who in three weeks says he’s going to cut the head off the snake and win the AEW World Championship at Full Gear. Orange Cassidy wants to be the king. Well he’s got the right idea but it’s not that simple.
“The game has already begun. The question is whether or not you can even make it to Full Gear with your body and your mind intact. Orange Cassidy brings the AEW World Championship home to Philadelphia…wouldn’t that be something for you all to be proud of.
“I cut my teeth here. I know what kind of person it takes to make it in Philadelphia. People of unshakeable character. People like Wheeler Yuta. People who do their job like Wheeler Yuta. I would do anything for this kid.
“Wheeler Yuta understands putting your ego aside for the mission. He knows what it’s like to fight for something bigger than yourself. He is a Philadelphia hero!”
Action Andretti walked down to the ring!
Action: “I cannot stand to listen to this for another second! You’re out here calling Wheeler a hometown hero? He is not what Philadelphia represents! I’m not about talking, I’m about action. I came out here and I’m by myself. I came here to throw hands with any single one of you. What’s up!”

“Freshly Squeezed” Orange Cassidy walked out!
Orange: “I love Philadelphia. Remember when you fell on tough times and slept on my couch? I had a roommate named Chuck Taylor. Remember him, Wheeler? The Wheeler I’m looking at is not the Wheeler I remember.
“The person in that ring now thinks Jon Moxley cares about you. He doesn’t care about you. He’s using you! I need to show everyone that Jon Moxley is not the man he says he is! In two weeks at Full Gear I bring back the old Wheeler Yuta, I bring back the old AEW, I beat Jon Moxley, and I become the next AEW World Champion!”
