- Last week, Jon Moxley attacks Jake Hager. Last night on AEW Dark, Jake Hager returned the favor.
- Jake Hager says Moxley is a fool if he thinks he can compete with Hager. Jake says Moxley holding the title doesn't scare him at all. Moxley says he's pissed off and he knows a lot of people want the title. He realizes he has a big target on his back and he's pissed because others want to take the title away from him. Chris Jericho says Moxley talks about everything he does is for the fans, unlike the Inner Circle, they do everything for themselves. Moxley says he knows Hager well, isn't afraid of him, but understands the skills that Hager possesses. Hager knows Moxley isn't as a strong as him and isn't as ruthless as he is. Sammy Guevara notes that Hager is undefeated in MMA and in AEW. Moxley says he knows Inner Circle wants the title back, so Moxley went after Hager since he was most likely coming for him anyways. Jericho says he has a rematch coming against Moxley, but he's letting Hager do his thing. Jericho says Inner Circle isn't like The Elite (drinking on the job, hitting each other with their finishers) they win championships. It will be Jon Moxley defending the title against Jake Hager in an Empty Arena No Holds Barred Match in two weeks.
- Colt Cabana joins Schiavone on commentary. He will face Lance Archer in the first round of the upcoming TNT Championship Tournament.
- Jake Roberts says his client, Lance Archer, is about to come out and destroy whatever AEW has cooked up. Roberts says AEW is playing games, and they don't play games. Roberts tells Cody he might be smarter than he thought and is actually afraid, or, maybe it's Brandi Rhodes telling him not to get in the ring...she seems like the one who wears the pants.
