Lexy Nair is with Bryan Danielson talking about Bunkhouse Match tonight and the match against Will Ospreay tomorrow at Dynasty, Ospreay walks in and says I had nothing to do with what happened on Dynamite or last week and Danielson says sure and walks off.
Commercial break
We see a video from Toni Storm from after Dynamite. She wanted the video in full color so people could see how Thunder Rosa smeared lipstick all over her face. Storm said that Rosa didn’t want the title back because she never lost it, she wanted the title back because of how important Storm made it. Rosa couldn’t drag her to hell because Storm made love to her demons every night.
