Footage of Tully Blanchard’s unbelievable promo that was shown on
social media airs. Earlier today, Blanchard gets into an SVU with
Spears and shows him a box and says the missing piece for Spears is
there. It’s a “black glove,” signifying that Spears is going to wear
the “black glove” like the Blackjacks, Barry Windham, Ted DiBiase,
etc. in the past.

Taz grabs a microphone and says that Jon Moxely had the audacity to
giggle at him when he was speaking to him last week. Taz says that
they don’t play games and this is not a joke to them. He says that
Moxley better get his head on right or Cage is going to take it off.
Moxley comes out but Taz stops him before getting in the ring and
tells him to think and be careful before he steps in. Moxley shrugs
Taz off and gets in the ring. He says the reason he was smiling last
week and why he’s smiling right now is the thought of stepping in
the ring with Brian Cage and going to war with him makes him happy.
Moxley says that’s why he’s in this business but stepping in the
ring with him with his title on the line is the farthest thing from
a game. Moxley looks over Cage and says he is impressive and says
that Mox is no machine and he is only human and can be beat but it
will take all night long to get it accomplished. Moxley says taking
the AEW Title away from him is a different prospect from anything
Cage has faced.
Moxley says Cage is in over his head and he will realize that he is
swimming with a different breed of shark at Fyter Fest. Moxley says
next time they want to name drop him on TV they better remember who
exactly they are talking about.
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
Earlier today Lance Archer is approached in some vacant lot
somewhere, by Alex Marvez, beating up a luchador. Archer says that

way.

Earlier today, Private Party is talking about what happened last
week when Matt Hardy approaches them wearing his Hardy Boyz gear.

week and he calls them the future of tag team wrestling. He says
their bond reminds him of the bond he and Jeff have. He says a lot
of guys helped them when they were young and he is willing and ready
to help them with anything they need, whether it be advice or
anything. Isiah Kassidy suggests they team up and call it Party
Hardy.

Jericho says the same thing that just happened to Cabana is going to
happen to “that piece of shit” Mike Tyson. Jericho challenges Tyson
to face him and says he is going to shove Tyson’s head up his own
ass. Jericho says he wants Tyson right here and right now and calls
him out to face him right now.
Orange Cassidy comes out as Jericho says he wants to face “the
baddest man on the planet.” OC grabs Jericho’s hands and puts them
in his own pocket and then Hager goes after him but OC avoids them

Rebel drives her off in her golf cart.
Earlier today, Schiavone interviewed Darby Allin. Schiavone says
that AEW’s doctor has not cleared him to wrestle tonight and he asks
Allin if the issues with Cage were due to what happened with Taz.
Allin just says he will get the last laugh on Cage.
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
Tony Schiavone sits down with FTR and asks them what their name
means. Dax says it’s a way of life for them, it’s not just a name or
a tag line. Cash says it’s whatever they want to mean. He says they
are a part of the “revolution” right now so right now it means “For
The Revolution.”
FTR talks about all of the tag teams in AEW and say that the tag
champs aren’t even a real team. They call the match with The Bucks a
dream match that everyone wants but they don’t think it’s a dream
match. Cash says they don’t want to have the best match with them,
they just want to punch them in the mouth and beat them in three
seconds.
Cash says that they saved The Bucks because they want The Bucks to
be 100% when they beat them, they don’t want them to have any excuse
for why FTR beat them. Schiavone says he always thought FTR meant
“F*ck the Revival” and they all laugh and then Butcher and Blade
show up. They try to go after FTR but security separates them. They
will face each other next week.
Alex Marvez interviews Colt Cabana backstage and he says that he’s
in AEW to show he can hang with the big dogs. Cabana says the big
victories are what has evaded him so far when Brodie Lee approaches
him. Lee says that without loss you don’t grow and he says it is
what he does after a loss that matters. Lee says he can help Cabana
with how he responds to a loss.
