– Adam Cole came out and explained that he told Roderick Strong and The Kingdom he needs to handle things on his own, feeling proud to be back in the ring. Instead of focusing on himself, he said the crowd likely wants to hear about the worst person in the world — MJF. Cole shared that he’s learned during his time off that sometimes you have to fight evil with evil. While MJF might say Cole betrayed him, Cole believes that without trust, there’s no foundation, and anyone who thinks they can trust MJF is foolish. He described MJF as fake, calling out his surgeries and bravado, masking a scared child underneath. Cole urged the crowd to roast MJF on social media, claiming MJF pretends not to care but will be crying in his hotel room. He emphasized that MJF is a fraud and nobody in the locker room trusts him. AEW has the best wrestlers in the world, and it frustrates Cole that younger talent might see MJF as a role model when, in reality, his path leads to failure and loneliness. Cole passionately declared that everyone hates MJF and called him out for a confrontation. MJF’s music played, but he didn’t show up. Instead, a pre-recorded video aired, showing MJF sipping wine by a fireplace. MJF reflected on his success, claiming that being at the top attracts people who want to bring you down, something he vowed to avoid until Cole entered his life and betrayed him. He said Cole’s betrayal left him unable to trust anyone again, blaming Cole for his current mindset. MJF promised Cole will never get his revenge but teased him with the possibility, leaving him with an unfillable void, something he can “thank” MJF for later. In response, Cole warned MJF that he can run but can’t hide, promising to deliver the beating of a lifetime when he finally catches him, making MJF regret ever crossing paths with him.
– AEW showed footage of Renee Paquette interviewing Chris Jericho backstage at WrestleDream. Jericho talked about feeling vindicated after his loss to ROH World Champion Mark Briscoe and boasted about his current success, mentioning his role in the top movie, Terrifier 3, and his band Fozzy selling out venues. Jericho accused Briscoe of cheating and demanded a rematch, aiming to become a two-time ROH World Champion, just like Jay Briscoe.
In a LIVE interview on Dynamite, Mark Briscoe responded to Jericho’s comments. While he can ignore most of Jericho’s remarks, he won’t tolerate Jericho bringing up his brother Jay again. Briscoe accepted the challenge for a rematch, setting up a Ladder War for the ROH World Title next week.

The Outrunners celebrated with FTR after the match.
– MVP & Shelton Benjamin met The Acclaimed backstage. MVP asked them if they are ready to stop making jokes and get serious, and offered them his business card. Anthony Bowens said they don’t need anything from them, but Max Caster took the card and put it in his jacket.

– The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly & Rocky Romero) def. The Elite (AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada & AEW World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks) via DQ after the Blackpool Combat Club interfered
The BCC beat down The Conglomeration. Babyfaces attempted to help them, but they also got taken out. Jon Moxley said if anyone didn’t like what happened to Bryan Danielson at WrestleDream, it was just the cost of doing business.

– During the Don Callis Family Press Conference, Callis said he wants new ROH TV Champion Brian Cage and Lance Archer to win the Tag Team Championship and bring those titles to the family.
– Renee Paquette interviewed AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May backstage, where May expressed frustration that people were praising Willow Nightingale after WrestleDream. She also questioned why Toni Storm, whom she defeated, is on magazine covers (referring to Storm being ranked #1 in the PWI Women’s 250), and complained about not getting her celebration with Mina Shirakawa. May went on to criticize Britt Baker for faking an injury and pointed out that Thunder Rosa is absent. She wondered who will challenge her next and questioned what Christopher Daniels is even doing. May then claimed AEW isn’t a place for the best wrestlers but rather where people fear “The Glamour”. Anna Jay interrupted, leading to a confrontation before Christopher Daniels stepped in to break things up. Anna tried to slap May but accidentally hit Daniels, causing May to leave. Anna apologized, and Daniels assured her it’s fine.
– Ricochet said Will Ospreay got pinned at WrestleDream, not him. Ricochet challenged AEW International Champion Konosuke Takeshita to show up on Collision.
