AEW cameras showed a fallen Daniels backstage that was a bloody mess. Page ran back to protect his friend and get to MJF, but MJF was long gone.

The Don Callis Family had a rough week. Brian Cage and Lance Archer were upset by The Outrunners in a tag team match. Plus, after securing Bryan Keith to take on Will Ospreay, Ospreay got the upper hand with a victory. Ospreay attacked and brawled with Kyle Fletcher right after his win.

The most newsworthy part of the show this week came when Swerve Strickland challenged Ricochet to a rematch. Ricochet initially declined the match, but Prince Nana told him that if he took the match, it would be to become the number one contender for the AEW World Championship. Upon hearing this news, Ricochet accepted the terms and the match was on.

Cope has vowed to take out each member of The Death Riders and took two members out this week. He brawled with Claudio Castagnoli backstage and eventually that fight spilled into the ring. There, The Death Riders almost overwhelmed him, but a save by Jay White pivoted the odds back in his favor.

Cope hit the Conchairto on Castagnoli as Jon Moxley looked on. He then eyed the same devastating move with a chair on Marina Shafir, but Willow Nightingale walked to the ring and did it instead. Later in the show, Cope, Willow, and White put Claudio and Marina into an ambulance.

Can the Outrunners survive the Murder Machines?!
