PWInsider.com reached out to AEW President Tony Khan about the meaning of his balance of power tweet yesterday. Khan responded, "There's more to come, Pac coming back is the beginning of a huge push for the rest of the year, as I said in my last tweet just now. Balance of power in storyline refers to Eddie [Kingston]'s strong power base as a character which could be threatened, but it also refers to the big push AEW is making for the rest of the year into and through December and into 2021."

Cody Steel Chair Shot: "I told him [Shawn Spears] to swing from the side, and the last words I told him were, 'swing for the fences,' and when I landed, I don't know if you can make out in the camera shot, but when I landed, my head is so stiff from the shot that I land the awkward landing when you have two falls, I muttered, 'swing for the fences.’"
