Nick Jackson: “Like Hangman said a few weeks ago, we are the heart and soul of this place.”

Hangman Page: “The BCC relies on the numbers game—”

The Dark Order interrupted Adam Page, saying he’s with his new best friends.

Alex Marvez asked if Kenny Omega was in Canada. Hangman Page said Omega wasn’t there tonight, he wasn’t in the country, but he wasn’t in Canada either.

“Interesting,” replied Marvez.

Tony Schiavone was in the ring to interview The Bullet Club Gold’s Juice Robinson & Jay White!

Jay White: “I bet Ricky Starks feels like he’s on top of the world right now after he eliminated me and Juice from the Blackjack Battle Royale at Double Or Nothing. But he’s not the International Champion. He lost the battle royale just like he lost to me.”

Juice: “And that brings us to FTR. We want to know why FTR came to the aid of Ricky Starks. We all know Ricky ain’t got no friends!”

White: “FTR are southern boys so it’s safe to assume they’re a little slow. And have you seen them? They look dumb, too.”

AEW World tag-team champions FTR—Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood came to the ring!

Juice: “You’re here to say sorry.”

Jay White: “I think FTR want to join Bullet Club Gold. All you have to do is ask. Just make sure you do it politely.”

Juice cracked Dax with a cheap shot, his left hand loaded with a roll of quarters. Jay White nailed Cash with the Blade Runner. Ricky Starks ran down and chased off Jay and Juice! Ricky challenged Jay White to a match next week on Dynamite!

AEW President, CEO & GM Tony Khan made an announcement about the debut of AEW Collision on Saturday, June 17th at the United Center in Chicago, IL!

“Swerve, the consummate opportunist, seizing the moment and scoring the win,” said Excalibur.

Renee Paquette was on the ramp to interview The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass!

Daddy Ass: “Things did not go quite as we had planned them last week. My biggest regret is that I let Caster and Bowens down.”

Bowens: “Our goal remains the same because a few months ago we were screwed out of tag team gold. And we want gold back. And Daddy Ass, this legend, after over 30 years of giving his all to the business, this man deserves to hold gold one more time. So don’t worry, Billy, we love you, and everyone loves the Acclaimed!”

Tony Schiavone was in the ring to interview Konosuke Takeshita and Don Callis!

Callis: “I sincerely hope that those boos are for Kenny Omega. I am the real victim here! I have done everything for Kenny Omega. IWGP Title because of me. AEW World title because of me. You chose your friends. Every morning I get up and I have to look at this scar on my head and I blame you, Omega. I blame you, Kenny.

“You have destroyed my family. And maybe I lost a nephew, but I gained a son. This is the best athlete that I’ve ever seen in pro wrestling. And you know who he’s better than? Better than Okada. You know who else he’s better than? He’s better than Kenny Omega.”

Takeshita: “We will destroy the Elite. We will destroy Kenny Omega.”

Callis: “Kenny, you destroyed my family so I’m going to build a new one. And my new family is going to cut the Elite out of All Elite Wrestling.”

TNT Champion Wardlow was backstage with Arn Anderson!

Wardlow: “I think Luchasaurus found out not to get involved in our business. You want to be next in line, Luchasaurus, I’ll be more than happy to finish the job!”
