Excalibur mentions Cody Rhodes is not cleared to compete on the Battle Of The Belts special Saturday night. Instead, it will be Dustin Rhodes vs. Sammy Guevara for the TNT Championship. AEW's Twitter clarified that Saturday's match will be for the interim TNT Championship.

Back from the break with highlights from Wednesday's Dynamite and the three title matches on that show.

Tony Schiavone is backstage with Andrade El Idolo to inquire about his recent run-in with Sting and Darby Allin.

"This problem is not with Mr. Sting," Andrade says. "Why is little kid work for Sting?"
