- After the match: Omega gets a mic and says he told Tony Khan tonight would be a short and sweet match. Omega says he is has Dynasty on his mind where he daces Ricochet and "speedball" Mike Bailey.
Bailey's music hits and he makes his way to the ring. Baily says he respects Omega but that will not stop him from doing all kinds oif nasty things to Omega to win the title.
Ricochet turns up on the big screen and says he is happy because it is his wedding day. He says he will leave Dynasty with his title.

-- Backstage: The Learning Tree (Chris Jericho, Big Bill and Bryan Keith)are backstage and Jericho says last week the mask was taken off me but that's ok, it's time to take the masks off and learn some ugly truths. Jericho yells at Bill and Keith about not using the wisdom he has bestowed upon them. If they think it is worth being with Jericho, they have to go prove themselves to him ... one last time. PROVE IT! Bill and Keith leave.
Jericho says Bandido got his brothers mask back but it''s not the mask he wants ... it's Bandido's. He wants Bandido to feel the torture and humiliation when he tore Gravity's mask off. Jericho suggests a mask vs ROH Championship at Dynasty. Jericho says it is worth it Bandido ... worth it to see your mother cry again. Jericho thinks it is.
-- In Ring: MJF's music hits and makes his way to the ring. As usual he picked on the crowd and made fun of the singer Prince who is from Minnesota. MJF took out the MVP business card and invited MVP to the ring to talk,
MVP's music hits and makes his way t the ring.
MJF says we can all agree MVP is a legend in the business and compliments his new cane. MJF says after everything that happened between MJF & Adam Cole, he wouldn't do the friends thing again. He says there’s something he noticed about MVP, he doesn’t do friends either, he does business. MJF said his decision is he’d like to be in the business of hurting people. MJF offers his hand out and MVP holds his hand out but before they shake hands ...
Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin's music hits and make their way to the ring.
Lashley goes right to MJF and they stand face to face. Lashley holds his hand out and asks for the card. Lashley hands over his title belt to MVP and rips the card up. He then puts a fist right up to MJF's face. MJF starts to back off slowly with hand up and saying we will talk. MJF heads to the back. <VP and Lashley are chatting in the ring ...
Bryan Keith & Big Bill show up on the stage and they have business to address. Keith goes off at The Hurt Syndicate and MVP told Bill to get Keith on a leash. Bill says he sees the Tag Team Titles, but doesn’t see a challenger. Bill says he can’t tell if MVP is American Psycho or Iceberg Slim are you a pimp or business man? MVP said he’s a little bit of both. Big Bill says he never lost the Tag Team Titles, as when he held the titles, Sting beat his partner and retired, so he never got a rematch. The Hurt Syndicate have now walked out of the ring and are close to Bill and Keith. MVP says why don't you actually win a match and then we can talk business. The Hurt Syndicate walk off.
-- Backstage: Renee Paquette interviews Timeless Toni Storm & Thunder Rosa. Parquette brings up their main event tonight and them teaming 3 years ago. Storm says they were much younger and not much has changed since then. Rosa says so much has changed. Storm has a butler now and last time, Storm tried to knock her out. Storm says ohhhh ... you make mistakes in the heat of passion. Rosa says she wants what she never lost and points to the championship belt. Storm says enough of this gay banter, Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford, you’re about to be double teamed like you never dreamed. Rosa says tonight the games not over, tonight we fight and you meet the team of ... Storm interrupted with Thunder Tits! Crowd cheers. Rosa says it is Thunder Storm. Storm says not anymore, strap yourself in girls, you're in for a bumpy night. Crowd are chanting "Thunder Tits." lol

-- MATCH: Powerhouse Hobbs defeated Mark Davis (w/ Don Callis)
-- Backstage: Lexy Nair interviews The Patriarchy (Nick Wayne, Mother Wayne and Kip Sabian) but no sign of Christian Cage. She asks Nick what is going on with him? Nick says things are finally making sense to why Cage did what he did at Revolution, but he’ll address Cage when he’s there with him face to face. He says last week was how you properly execute a plan, glaring at Kip Sabian. Nick and Mother Wayne walk off with Sabian eventually following.
-- Backstage: Renee Paquette interviews Hangman Adam Page. She mentions Page entering the Owen Hart Tournament last week. Then suddenly, Swerve Strickland charged in and asked if he heard Page saying he’d get into his business with the AEW World Title? Page says did I stutter? Prince Nana came in and pulled Strickland away.
-- Interview Earlier Today: Tony Schiavone sat down with Cope and Rated FTR (Cash Wheeler and Dash Wilder). Schiavone says they are all basically next door neighbors and Cope is responsible for some of the biggest breaks in FTR’s career.
Harwood interrupts and apologizes, saying their goal was always AEW Tag Team Titles, but they took a break from that for four months to help Cope become AEW World Champion ... and failed twice.
Cope interrupted and says he’s making it seem like he kept them from the Tag Titles, but that wasn’t his intention, he helped them, as Death Riders tried attacking them and put bags over their heads.
Harwood said they were directionless for four months.
Wheeler says everyone knows he & Harwood are best friends, but not many know what Cope has done for him. When Wheeler was struggling, living in his car, Cope gave him a place to live without worries.
Harwood again apologized, saying he took things too far last week, but said they helped Cope go for his goals, but their goal is the Tag Titles and went to call out the Hurt Syndicate ...
Wheeler cut him off and says he still thinks there is something between the three and wants to go for the Trios Titles one more time.
Cope agrees and if there’s juice left in the tank, let’s do it and challenges Death Riders to the Trios Titles at Dynasty. Harwood agrees and says Top Guys, Out. Cope interrupts and says Rated FTR, Out. Harwood agrees once more.
-- In Ring: Swerve Strickland's music hits and out comes Prince Nana and then Swerve Strickland as they make their way to the ring. He says he is in the ring to call out Jon Moxley, not the Death Riders but Jon Moxley.
Moxley’s music hits and he walks out from the crowd, alone and heads to the ring. Nana goes to the floor, leaving Moxley & Strickland alone.
Strickland says he’s been allowing this to go on for far too long. People have been asking Strickland why he hasn't been going after his AEW World Championship. Also why Strickland hasn’t lent a hand to fight the Death Riders and asks what happened to Moxley, he used to be revered, respect, he went hand in hand with the AEW World Title. Now, Moxley hides behind Claudio, PAC, Yuta & Marina Shafir.
Claudio Castagnoli appears behind Prince Nana, as Strickland turned and glared, but Moxley called him off.
Moxley says it’s not about himself at Dynasty, it’s about Swerve vs Swerve. Moxley asks who are you really? Moxley knows exactly who Strickland is and what he could be, as he had high hopes for Strickland, but on April 6th, he’ll let Strickland be everything he thinks he could be. How far is Strickland willing to go, when you’re in pain and tired, the world bearing down on your shoulders and everyone gunning for you, will you endure or will you look for a way out? Moxley says Strickland hasn’t suffered enough yet, but he will at Dynasty. Moxley’s sport has been taken over by billionaires, Hollywood talent agencies and kids who sees the world through a filter, but guys like Strickland gives Moxley hope for the future, making him believe what he put his body through was for a reason. Moxley said it shouldn’t be a problem, as Strickland is “The Most Dangerous Man in AEW”.
Marina Shafir charged to the ring and got on the apron with a crowbar, but Willow Nightingale soon joined her with a pipe. They stare at each other in a stand off.
Strickland says what's wrong Job? Moxley is finally facing someone who is smarter than he is. Moxley wants unscripted violince, Strickland is unscripted violence. Moxley bled pints, Strickland bled buckets. Strickland is the most dangrous man in AEW and in 11 days I take back that AEW World Championship. Stricland will continue to lead the Dynasty era. While he does that Moxley can continue to play Moxley on TV.
Stricland drops the mic. Moxley drops his mic and they both stare at each other. Moxley calls off Shafir and she leaves the ring apron. Moxley leaves the ring and he, Castagnoli and Shafir start toleave through the crowd BUT ...
Shafir runs back to Nightingale and attacks her. Castagnoli goes and grans Shafir and Nana grabs Nightingale to separate them.
-- Bckstage: Samoa Joe and HOOK are walking in the back and Joe asked why HOOK held onto REDRUM a little too long on Max Caster on Collision? HOOK says he's an annoying dude and he is fun to choke out.
They ran into Caster who was chatting to Top Flight (Darius Martin and Daunte Martin) and AR Fox. It seems like Caster is trying to get his chant of "Best Wrestler Alive" over to them. Out of nowhere, Joe choked Caster out, ge turned and hugged HOOK and agreed it is fun. Joe and HOOK shook Top Flight and Fox’s hands, then walked off leaving Caster on the floor.
-- Video: They show an ad for AEW Dynasty PPV on April 6th.
-- Backstage: Renee Paquette interviews Switchblade Jay White, Paquette talks about the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament and that Hnagman Adam Page and Will Ospreay are already in it. WHite says those are some big names, so we may as well put White ine tournament.
White says last year, it didn’t work out so well for White, who lost to Hngaman for the first time thanks to Christian Cage and got hurt for months in the process. This year he is going to win the Cup and go on to AEW Texas and win the AEW World Champiomship. Before we get to the tournament though, how about one of the original Collision Cowboys return this Saturday Night and issues an Open Challenge.

-- MATCH: Konosuke Takeshita (w/ Don Callis) defeated Mark Briscoe.
-- Backstage: AEW Trios Champions, Death Riders
(Pac, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta) have somethingt o say. Yuta says he already hates FTR’s guts, while Cope tried to rip him from his family, but his family is much stronger than Cope’s. Castagnoli says when the going gets tough, you start throwing hissy fits. PAC says it’s their arrogance they find it so hard to stomach. It’s Rated FTR who has the audacity to challenge them? That’s not how things work around here, they challenge Rated FTR to survive the Death Riders at Dynasty.
-- Backstage: Alicia Atout approaches The Hurt Syndicate for an interview and asks if MJF is in or out? MVP politely asks her toleave.
Lashley says why would MVP invite MJF into their group? MVP says last week he told Lashley & Benjamin to take some time off, something MVP never has, as they always talked about getting a 4th man. Lashley said MJF is so grimey and Benjamin says he is not to be trusted, MVP says if they don’t want him in the crew, it’s something they can revisit, but now, they need to focus on this Big Bill situation.
-- MATCH: Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford defeated AEW Women’s Champion Timeless Toni Storm (w/ Luther) & Thunder Rosa.
- After the match: Ford and Bayne celebrated, as Rosa tended to Storm, who was left looking spooked that everything she threw at Bayne had no effect.
