We heard from AEW World Tag Team Champions The Hurt Syndicate—Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, with MVP!
Shelton said he was skeptical about MJF, but they trust MVP. MVP said MJF could be beneficial to them. And if MJF screws them over, they will hurt MJF like he’s never been hurt before, said MVP with a smirk, as the rest of the Hurt Syndicate fist bumped.
Trios Match!
AEW World Trios Champs The Opps—Shibata, Samoa Joe, and Powerhouse Hobbs

After the match, the Death Riders blindsided The Opps! Samoa Joe took down Moxley and applied a rear naked choke. Claudio slammed Shibata onto a steel chair, the same way they injured HOOK several weeks ago.
Samoa Joe: “Mox! It seems to me that Moxley likes to come out here and act like he’s the boss, but when we start throwing hands, he acts like a little bitch. Mox, you came out here weeks ago and you begged for me, one on one. And all I’m trying to do is give you what you want. But it seems like you don’t want that. But you’ve already made your request. I say let’s give the people what they want. If I’m going to fight you for the AEW World Championship, Mox, you cowardly SOB, let’s do it inside the steel cage!”
“Samoa Joe raising the stakes for Beach Break!” said Excalibur.
Renee Paquette interviewed TBS Champion Mercedes Mone!
Mercedes: “I’m a global champion. Let’s get real, the Owen Cup is about my legacy. I’m 25-0 in singles competition. I’ve beaten the best all over the globe. I am the best. I am the greatest. The wrestling world runs on my time. Every time I step into the ring, I change the game. Jamie Hayter reminds me of myself, except for her Scooby Doo style.”
Renee Paquette interviewed Nick Wayne and the Patriarchy!
Jay Lethal interrupted. Lethal said he was there to talk to Nick Wayne, not Christian Cage.
“You’re young and you’ve still got a lot to prove. So why don’t you prove something tonight?” asked Lethal.
“I’m not really warmed up,” replied Nick.
“He accepts!” said Christian Cage.

Mercedes: “Toni, darling, good to see you. After I beat Jamie Hayter at Double Or Nothing, I’m coming for what I deserve and coming for the AEW Women’s World Championship!”
Jamie Hayter stormed out and decked Mercedes in the mush!
AEW World Tag Team Champions The Hurt Syndicate—Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, with MVP came to the ring!
MVP: “This is an official announcement from the Hurt Syndicate. As you know, we’ve been discussing adding a fourth member to our ranks. In order to do so, that prospect must receive a unanimous three thumbs up. We’re going to try this one more time. Please join me in inviting MJF to join us in the ring.”
MJF’s music hit and Max strolled to the ring.
MJF: “Cut my music. Shelton, look how great he looks. MVP, you’re a legend, I love you. Bob. You have a good car ride in, bub?”
MVP: “Let’s get to the vote. Remember our discussion. Thumbs up from MVP. Thumbs up from Shelton. Roberto?”
Lashley gave the thumbs down, toying with MJF.
MJF: “You know what Bob, I’m sick of your stuff. What is it exactly that you want? Money, cars, what is it that would intrigue you? How about some Rogaine?”
Bobby backed MJF into the corner and said, “You want to impress me? You hurt somebody!”
