Footage of MJF defeated Ospreay for the AEW International Championship on last week’s Dynamite airs afterward. Some cheerleaders are on the ramp, and they cheer for MJF as he makes his way to the ring. MJF calls Ospreay a coward for not using the Tiger Driver 91 last week and it was laughable that people thought Ospreay could beat him when he couldn’t even beat Swerve Strickland. MJF tells Strickland that he hasn’t forgotten about his AEW World Championship, and he is waiting for the right time to pounce.MJF says he shines like a diamond and beat Ospreay without breaking a sweat.
MJF tells Ospreay instead of retiring, he should just take a long walk off a short pier. MJF says Ospreay can dig himself a grave next to his grandmother, and then tells Ospreay to come to the ring and face him if he has a problem with what he is saying. MJF says people loved the International Championship because the guys that held it before him were workhorses and defended it all the time. MJF says that stuff if for the poors and he deserves a title worthy of his superior intellect, bank account, and upbringing. MJF says he deserves a title that represents him as the greatest wrestler in the world and represents the greatest country in the world.
MJF pulls a cover off of another title in the ring and introduces the AEW American Championship. MJF says when he is talking about the United States, he isn’t talking about Nashville; he is talking about Plainview, Long Island, New York. MJF says everyone can thank him later and raises the title in the air as a giant American flag with his face as the stars drops down behind him.
Ospreay rushes the ring and tries to get MJF, but MJF bails out. Ospreay tells MJF knew he couldn’t beat him last week, so he used the Dynamite diamond ring and cheated. Ospreay says he has some good news for MJF, because he had a meeting with Tony Khan and Christopher Daniels. Ospreay says he has his rematch for the title, and it will take place at All In.
