– The commentators show video of Adam Cole’s injury last Wednesday on Dynamite.
– On video earlier today, Adam Cole is on crutches and MJF invites him onto his boat. Cole thanks MJF for the great day. MJF says that at the beginning of the match, Cole seemed so worried about Roderick Strong that he couldn’t accompany him. Cole says MJF understands that Strong is his great friend too. MJF says he understands, yes. MJF gets up to get some beers. MJF takes his ring from behind Cole’s back. Cole asks him if MJF brought him here to hit and sink him with his ring. MJF says no. Cole says Strong’s friendship doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about MJF. MJF says he understands. Cole and MJF manage to catch a fish, but he fails Paul Wight who just went swimming. Paul Wight is a guest on the boat.
– On a video last Saturday we find Don Callis and Konosuke Takeshita in Japan. Callis says they are on tour in Japan and are taking the opportunity to analyze Kota Ibushi.
– Back after the break, Renee Paquette is in the ring presenting Don Callis and Konosuke Takeshita. Paquette asks him for his comments on Guevara. Callis says Sammy Guevara is officially free of Chris Jericho and his toxicity. Callis introduces us to Sammy Guevara who enters the ring. Paquette asks him what he did in Tokyo. Callis says Kota Ibushi is never safe. They went to Tokyo to take care of Kota. We see a video of Takeshita and Callis who are in Japan, the two enter a training room. Kota Ibushi arrives and the confrontation breaks out. Ibushi has the advantage, but Callis punches him in the back to distract him. Takeshita regains the advantage and suffocates Ibushi with his coat. Callis points out to Ibushi that they will always be ready to beat him.
Back in the ring, Don Callis says that the Callis family has never been stronger with Will Ospreay and Guevara. Guevara says he’s not the villain, he’s the hero of the story. Chris Jericho is the villain. Jericho prevented him from taking advantage of his opportunities for four years. One day he thought Jericho would pass the torch to him, but Jericho never did. Callis showed him that Jericho is selfish and that now is the time to become the star he needs to be. Callis says they’ll take everything at WrestleDream and leave Jericho with only his tears.
– In the AEW Collision video, Ricky Starks says he didn’t lose, he survived. Bryan Danielson still didn’t give him a three-pointer, so he remains the winner. Wheeler Yuta arrives and says that Ricky Starks survived. He attacked Starks after the match to show him what respect was. Starks tells him to stay away. Yuta says Starks is an idiot who just complains. At WrestleDream they’ll see if Starks has the guts. (The commentators confirm the match is official for the PPV.)
Budding International Champion – 3-Way Match
The game takes place next week at Dynamite.
Nick Jackson vs. Brian Cage, accompanied by Prince Nana vs. Claudio Castagnoli
At the end of the match, Castagnoli powerbombs Cage, but Nick Jackson uses a rana on Castagnoli to take him out of the ring and covers Cage for a three count.
Winner: Nick Jackson
– We present a video about the righteous. It is said that it is easy to forget your enemies, but harder to forget your false friends.
– Back, MJF and Adam Cole enter the ring. Adam Cole is on crutches with one leg in a cast, Cole is sitting on a chair in the ring. Cole asks who is up for a story. Cole says that unfortunately it’s a sad chapter in history because he was seriously injured last week. His ankle exploded, he broke in three places, he tore his ligaments, he did everything he could, but he has to go under the knife. He will do everything to return as soon as possible. As we know, he and MJF are the ROH Tag Team Champions and will have to forfeit the titles as they can no longer defend them. MJF interrupts Adam Cole and tells him to wait a second. MJF says he didn’t wrestle twice in the same night to lose the titles to Righteous. The crowd rejects the idea.
MJF says Cole wouldn’t get hurt if he didn’t help him and he needed Cole’s help at the Grand Slam. He also knows how important the ROH Tag Team Titles are to Cole, and when he returns, the titles will still be theirs. MJF says at WrestleDream that he will defend and win the tag team titles in a handicap match against the Righteous ! Roderick Strong comes screaming as Kingdom pushes his wheelchair. Strong says he needs Cole more than ever, it’s an emergency. MJF says Strong clearly lacks attention. Strong is Cole’s friend, he can recognize him. In order for Cole to join him, he will wait for him. Cole and MJF hug. Cole leaves the ring on his crutches, joins Roderick Strong and leaves.
MJF starts talking again, but Jay White’s music interrupts him. White enters the ring. MJF wants to talk to him, but White asks him to keep quiet. White says everyone has heard MJF, now everyone wants to hear his beautiful accent for a change. White says he decided to come alone to confront him one-on-one and not worry him. MJF says White has to smoke strong weed. MJF says it won’t work with him. You can’t miss your chance when you face the king. He has been compared to many people throughout his career. His name continues to grow. He once read an article that said MJF was good, but “he wasn’t Jay White,” which bothered him. When he sees Jay White, he understands better why this bothers him. He carries AEW on his shoulders and White pretends to be just as important as him. Worse still, white has no flavor at all, it’s some kind of tofu dish. Today White wants to eat on his plate. If he were White, he would leave MJF’s ring.
White applauds MJF. Jay White says he just came to get the authentic MJF experience, but he’s a little disappointed. White is interrupted by the crowd chanting “Tofu.” White says he doesn’t know if injuries are a problem, but MJF is distracted by his new friend Adam Cole. He doesn’t think fans love MJF as much as Adam Cole. The crowd chants “MJF.” White says the Adam Cole situation is his fault. If he hadn’t ended Cole’s career at Forbidden Door 1, MJF would never have become Cole’s best friend and they would never have won the Wembley titles. He’s on MJF’s throat and doesn’t feel so good after Samoa Joe. So he’s going to ruin MJF’s life for a little longer. MJF calls himself the devil, but MJF needs to find another level to stop him from taking the AEW World Title. White lists his track record. White says at the end of the day MJF will have the fans and he will have the championship. This is White’s era because MJF is being softened. MJF says White has no idea what he can do. MJF takes off his shirt to fight, but White decides to leave.
– Behind the scenes we find Jim Ross with Darby Allin and Christian Cage for the interview. JR asks Cage for his comments on finally truly being the champion. Cage says he’s been the champion for months and on Saturday at Collision he showed he was better than Darby by retaining his TNT title. JR says Cage lost to Darby twice. Why does he think he will win in 2-Out-Of-3 Falls? Cage says it was luck and he will leave WrestleDream as champion. He asked for this stipulation about what Darby can do during an actual game. Cage asks if his uncle will be there. Darby says his uncle died, like all the people Cage talks about. He is not afraid to die and will enter WrestleDream as champion. Cage invites Darby to bring his mother and the rest of his family if he is so confident. He will call Nick Wayne’s mother for the show. Darby says he’ll tell Nick Wayne to stay away because he wants to win himself. Cage says Nick Wayne needs a real man as a mentor, not someone who puts makeup on his face to hide. Darby wipes off his painting and says he is real. Cage says he will be the face of TNT now and forever.
– Back, the game begins.

– The commentators present the WrestleDream card that will take place this Sunday.
– Swerve Strickland enters the ring Signing contract with WrestleDream. Back in the ring, Renee Paquette introduces us to Adam Hangman Page, who arrives. Paquette states that The Elite and Mogul Embassy will be banned from the ring because of this signing. Paquette asks Page to sign first. Page accepts the contract, but Strickland stops him. Strickland says he’s been impressed with Page’s energy lately, but it’s a little too late. They are four days away from WrestleDream, Page should have prepared beforehand. They go to Seattle, Strickland’s home. Page doesn’t seem to understand the situation. He’ll never be like Page, and Page can’t do anything against an outlaw. Adam Page says Strickland’s words surprised him, but he had time to think and he has him to thank.
Page said Strickland pointed out that he hadn’t had a new outfit or T-shirt in a year. He knew it, but he realized that for four years there had been a black cloud hanging over his head that could never go away. He defeated Jon Moxley in a Texas Death Match and reunited with his friends from Elite. He was supposed to be the happiest man, but every time he started smiling, the cloud came back and it started raining again. Despite the storm, he is still here today. Despite the lows, he expressed his determination, his hope and his passion to stay that way. He realized that the fans deserved more from him, the fans deserved the best from him. He deserves it for himself. This is what Strickland has to offer at WrestleDream, the best of Hangman. Adam Page signs the contract.
Strickland said it was the most pathetic thing he had ever heard. He’ll be honest, it’s not a personal story between the two. It could have been anyone at WrestleDream. He obviously has mental problems because he makes enemies every day. He makes enemies to get his way. It’s going to rain a lot in Seattle. Adam Page says Strickland wants the main event spot and would have been the first black AEW champion, but he doesn’t have what it takes to take that spot. Strickland slaps him and signs the contract. Page puts a pencil in Strickland’s hand, but security intervenes to separate the two.
– Behind the scenes, We see a group of masked men attack Jay White ! A man wears MJF’s devil mask. The show ends like this.
