– “Hangman” Adam Page announced that he is cleared to return to in-ring action and will face Jon Moxley next week.
Moxley came out and said that he’s tired of the flowers, sympathy, and of Page playing the victim. Mox claimed that Page doesn’t belong in the same ring as him and next week he will make sure Page doesn’t get back up.
– The Acclaimed (c) def. Jeff Jarrett & Jay Lethal to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship
– Britt Baker & AEW Women’s World Champion Jamie Hayter questioned why Saraya hasn’t chosen her Tag Team Partner yet. Britt claimed she’s the boss, Jamie is the killer, and she is the pillar of AEW.
– Bryan Danielson def. Tony Nese
After the match, Bryan said he’s glad to be home and wants a fight against AEW World Champion MJF.
MJF came out and said that Bryan looks like a goat. MJF claimed if Lance Storm and Dean Malenko had a baby, it would still have more charisma than Bryan.
Bryan said the boys in the back often talk about MJF’s mom and questioned how many people she has slept with.
MJF said he talked to Tony Khan and was told that if Bryan can win every match from tonight until February 8th, Bryan will become the #1 Contender against him for the AEW World Title at Revolution.
Bryan agreed to the challenge, but added that he wants to make the stipulation a 1 Hour Iron Man Match. MJF accepted.
