He’s here tonight to have a conversation with someone who is not here. He says this man did nothing like him, but he’s everything like him. He says this conversation is long overdue.
Mox tells Darby Allin it’s about time they had a talk. “And trust me, I’m not gonna be hard to find.” With that said, Mox walks off, but before he leaves, he stops and turns back. He tells Schiavone to listen to him. He says it’s gonna take time for everyone to wrap their brains around this. “This is not your company anymore.” Everyone is confused. He walks off to a few fans chanting his name.

Tony Schiavone is seen standing at the top of the entrance ramp with a microphone in-hand. He says it’s time for another championship celebration. He welcomes the new AEW Women’s World Champion “The Glamour” Mariah May. She comes out in a silk robe and is touchy-feely with a nervous-looking Tony Schiavone. He loses his train of thought due to May groping on him.
May helps him out and says she’s the new AEW Women’s World Champion. She regrets to inform us, however, that her women’s championship celebration has been postponed. She’s not doing it in this time. She says Champaign, Ill. should be re-named to Flat Piss-Warm Beer, Ill. She calls the women average-looking, and talks about them being used to shoving things down their throats.
She says they desparately need some “Glamour,” and luckily that’s everything she is. She says in case we don’t understand, she’s gonna take her robe off now and show us exactly what she means. “Look now and never forget, this is our new AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May.” She takes the robe off to reveal herself in lingerie with the women’s title around her waist.

Backstage live, The Grizzled Young Vets say Friday on Rampage one unlucky team are gonna find out their intentions. They repeat their little “grit your teeth” catchphrase seconds after it closed the digital segment that just wrapped up. Too close together, especially for an “eh” catchphrase. We head to another break on that note.
Ricochet vs. Kyle Fletcher
Ricochet’s theme hits and he makes his way to the ring for his AEW Dynamite in-ring debut. As he heads to the ring, Excalibur does his best job at listing his accolades to remind fans he’s not just a WWE mid-card dude. Tony Schiavone takes a bit far and says he’s the best wrestler he’s ever seen or something hyperbolic like that.
The bell rings and the two lock up. Fletcher connects with a shoulder tackle, but Ricochet kips up and delivers a hurricanrana. He follows it up with a dropkick that sends Fletcher crashing out of the ring, then clocks him from the apron. Fletcher delivers a kick to Ricochet that sends him crashing to the floor, then lands a tope suicida on him and gloats before delivering a boot that sends Ricochet crashing in the boot. Fletcher charges at Ricochet, but Ricochet catches him with a meteora off the barricade.
Back from the break, Fletcher pins Ricochet but Ricochet kicks out. The pair brawl with one another on the ropes before Ricochet lands a step-up enzuigiri on Fletcher and follows it up with a clothesline off the top rope. He fires off right and left hands on Fletcher, then lands a springboard back elbow and fires off a shoulder on his midsection. Ricochet then lands an enzuigiri and a standing shooting star press.

He lands a jumping knee and fires off a few kicks on Ricochet, but Ricochet responds with a pump kick and a Death Valley Driver. He goes for a pin, but Ricochet kicks out and delivers Vertigo for the win.
Winner: Ricochet
After the match, Will Ospreay’s theme hits and out he comes to look at his former rival Ricochet in the ring. Before he can say a word, PAC appears behind him and hits a poisonrana to him on the unforgiving stage, slamming Ospreay on the top of his head in violent fashion.
PAC tells Ospreay not to lose focus on him, welcomes Ricochet to AEW and then tells him to get to the back of the line. He lifts Ospreay up by his hair and says “This one belongs to me.” He walks off as Ricochet runs up to check on him.
– Backstage, someone tries to ask Jon Moxley what he meant earlier in the show. He pulls aside some random Joe’s having a conversation behind him and beats one up. Marina Shafir appears and beats up another security dude who walks up.
Another one walks up and sees what happened, stops and says “No,” and runs away as fans in the background are heard laughing. “A lesson in humility,” Mox says. Shafir rushes the camera man, knocking him down, to end the segment. The commentators are at a loss for words.
AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson’s “Can’t Miss” Announcement
Danielson says after plenty of trying and failing, he’s the AEW World Champion. He reflects on winning the title in front of 50,000 people and his family at All In, then recalls his daughter telling him backstage that it was the best day of her life. He says even before his daughter said that, he knew it based on the reaction he received from his peers. He says when he got to the post-show All In Press conference, he was asked what’s next. He says his contract with AEW expired August 1, he needs neck surgery sooner rather than later, and his family needs him sooner rather than later.
Danielson says he’s loved professional wrestling his entire life and says that AEW’s existence has made his life better. He says when he thinks of all the things the people who started AEW have done, looked at all his peers in the back after All In, and thought of all the people who’d wrestle in the company in the future. He says he thought it was time to go home, but not yet as he will not retire from the AEW World Championship. He says as soon as he loses the title, he will be retiring but not anytime soon. He addresses All Out and issues an open challenge to anyone who wants a shot at his title on September 7.
Jack Perry appears on the Titan Tron to respond to Danielson’s open challenge and sends a message to him. He says his future is to retire Danielson and become AEW World Champion. Perry then appears behind Danielson in the ring and attacks him from behind. He delivers a running knee to Perry, then grabs the AEW World Championship and holds it up alongside the TNT Championship as the show goes off the air.
