- Recap of last week's Dynamite with Jon Moxley and PAC going to a time limit draw. After the show, PAC put a chair around Moxley's neck and looked to finish him off but Kenny Omega made the save. PAC then bumped into Adam Page who let PAC know they will meet at Full Gear. An angered Moxley goes in and talks with AEW Tony Khan who says his match against Omega is going to be an unsanctioned lights out match, so it won't count towards the win/loss match. Moxley is really mad that this match won't count, despite him going for the top guy. Moxley says Khan just doesn't want him to get a win over "his boy." Moxley says whatever happened to Omega is on Khan's head.

Jericho then says Cody could stand with him all night, but he might be needed else where. In the background, Sammy shows up on the big screen with Jake Hager beating up Dustin Rhodes outside the arena. He lowblows Dustin (with his knee, similar to what happened in his MMA fight over the weekend) and then slams Dustin's head into the limo, denting it. Hager then slams the car door on Dustin's arm! He yells in pain as Cody and MJF run out with some security to chase Guevara and Hager off. Jericho heads out and then lights up a cigar as he checks out what happened.

- "The Librarians" Peter Avalon and Leva Bates and head out. Avalon on the mic, shushes the crowd a bunch. He says it's Halloween time and it's an appropriate time for the hideous monsters in the crowd to look like they do.

Moxley says these guys in suits always coming up to him "Jon, we know you're a different kind of cat." He says he knows what that means and it's an insult. Moxley says if this is how it's going to be, he tells AEW to shove their win / loss record up their ass.
