Mark Briscoe cuts a promo backstage on House of Black. He’s not afraid of House of Black. They are the ones who should be afraid of him, Eddie Kingston, and Adam Copeland at Dynasty.

Tony Schiavone introduces Thunder Rosa for an interview. Rosa thanks the people for making her comeback special. She doesn’t need help to win the AEW women’s world championship. That comment is directed towards Deonna Purrazzo. She doesn’t know why Toni Storm went crazy in the head. She will humble Toni at Dynasty and take back the belt she never lost, even if she has to break every single bone in her body to empower every woman in the locker room to prove that AEW is where the best wrestle. Storm made a big mistake trying to take off her face paint, because she doesn’t want to see what’s underneath. Rosa will drag her soul to hell.

Purrazzo responds in the back by saying she’s the one who embodies what the AEW women’s world championship is all about. She fights Mariah May next week and will break her arm.

Tony Schiavone informs us that the AEW Tag Team Championship at Dynasty will be a Ladder Match.
