AEW Dynamite is live from the Liberty First Credit Union Arena in Omaha, NE. The commentary team is Excalibur and Tony Schiavone.
We start with Excalibur running down tonight’s card and then introducing a highlight reel from Saturday night’s World’s End. We then see MJF show up in a white SUV and comes through the back to the stage and to the ring.
He explains that he is MJF the World Champion over Swerve Strickland, Samoa Joe, and Hangman Adam Page. He tosses down the title and unveils the new belt, the Triple B. He says some fans are upset that he outsmarted and out wrestled everyone. He tells people to step up or get stepped on. He is no longer going to slow down for the people in the back. He will sprint until he is the greatest of all time and gives his catchphrase…
And he is interrupted by Kenny Omega from an undisclosed location, who wonders if he could become champion again. He says no matter if he gets a shot next week or has to climb the ladder, MJF will be seeing a lot more of him.
MJF says that Omega wasn’t man enough to say anything to his face and he then head Page’s music. That is followed by Swerve’s music. Both Swerve and Page are in the crowd on opposite sides. They slowly make their way to the ring until Security shows up at the barricade and holds them back. MJF says wins and losses matter and right now, they are both losers. He tells them to pick up some wins, talk to Tony Khan and he’ll whip their asses again.
Page and Swerve break through security and get to the bing where they take out the security. They grab microphones. Page says when he gets a hold of MJF, he will strangle him with the belt, and Swerve says he better pray Page gets a hold of him first and the hunt is on.
We see Samoa Joe and The Opps on the Big Screen, and he says the only man who deserves to be a number one contender who was robbed, Samoa Joe says because they dared attack Hook, Hook has been tasked to seek and destroy, and Powerhouse Hobbs is being sent to Swerve, and they will beat them down next week because he doesn’t want to be in this town any longer.
Swerve and Page challenge Hook and Hobbs to a no holds barred, lights out match.
In the back, Renee is with Orange Cassidy, Mark Briscoe, and Roderick Strong. Briscoe says after tonight, the TBS title will be with the Conglomeration and today's word of the day is asphyxiation, and and because tonight is another mixed nuts match, they will be choking on deez nuts.

They leave and Roddy tells Renee he does not want to be a part of this.
