Brand new Dynamite intro, but before that, we get a Veteran’s Day tribute. JR says we have a “special night on our hands.”
Taz says people are about to witness Brian Cage wrestle live, right here, right now. He says he’s slightly distracted because “the face of the network” Darby Allin. He patronizes him with a prompted “round of applause.”
Taz tells him to sit his narrow ass there and not think of meddling. He also tells him to tell Cody the same thing. Taz puts over Sydal before kicking off the match and heading over to commentary. Ricky Starks smirks and points at the people at ringside.

Cody is on the mic and notes the thunderstorm going on. He congratulates the new TNT Champion Darby Allin. In the spirit of full transparency, he and Arn Anderson will not be seeking a rematch at this time. There’s another rematch he lis looking forward to and that’s with new Inner Circle member, MJF. A mysterious woman comes up to Cody. She says how dare he lies to the entire AEW audience. She says her name is Jade Cardill and she is the entire package. She has been studying week after week her competition. And you, Cody Rhodes, The Prince of pro wrestling. The American Nightmare. Sometimes The Giant Killer. There is nothing giant about him. She knows a giant. A real giant. Slick statements like that is an echo enough to wake him. She suggests he keeps that shit to yourself. You watch your back, Giant Killer. She is nothing to be messed with. Oh, and by the way congratulations on your name, but she guess he didn’t have the balls to go by one name. That giant your talking about, he’s the real star. You know who that is? “Shaq.”
Out comes Brandi and she begins talking trash to Jade. She says don’t you ever look or talk at him like that again. She says to get her ass out of here. Out comes Jerry Lynn to break things up. Suddenly, Cage comes out and gives Cody a Drill Claw. out comes Ricky Starks. That prompts Darby Allin with his thumbtacks jacket. Cody uppercuts cage as Darby takes out Starks. Darby rams himself flesh to tacks into Cage and the heels bail as Cody’s music plays. Will Hobbs also comes out to even the score.

Alex Marvez is with Jon Moxley. He asks him about Kenny Omega. Something occurred to Mox is that he didn’t want to say “I quit” he couldn’t say “I quit.” Things changed since he’s joined AEW. He speaks that this title is for everybody that is disinfranchised right now out at home. He says he’s the greatest pro wrestler on this planet right now. He beat Kenny Omega once, he can beat Kenny Omega twice. He wishes Kenny Omega “good luck.” The AEW World Title match is set for December 2.

Dustin comes back in and so does Butcher. Dustin hits a Code Red that looks more sunset flip-esque and doesn’t cover.

2020 Inner Circle Induction Ceremony
A podium is set up in the center of the ring and Jericho makes his way out in his bedazzled blazer. He says they are adding not just one, but two new members to the ranks tonight! But before they get to the “New IC” he wants the “OG IC” out right now. Jericho calls them his boys and hermanos. Santana, Ortiz and Hager all come out. No Sammy. Jericho seems flustered but carries on. He introduces both MJF and Wardlow next. JR says Wardlow is gonna be a world champion some day. A faux emotional MJF puts himself over as a poor kid with only a million dollars to his name, but look what he’s made of himself in five long years. He wrote some poetry. “I’ve got everything, I’ve got everything, I cannot complain.” Ortiz is fired up and calls him Drake. He tells Chris MJF shouldn’t be in the IC. If there’s an issue, it’s on Chris. He beat me. He beat Chris Jericho. With MJF’s mind and Wardlow’s muscle , The IC will be even more unstoppable. He tells Ortiz he will make it work. MJF throws Chris a surprise birthday party. Balloons fall from the sky but quickly are dismissed by the weather. He gets super hyped as he presents tickets to Las Vegas for the whole crew of Inner Circle.
A reluctant and apprehensive Marvez goes to interview The Young Bucks. They don’t superkick him. He asks them what’s next after winning the tag titles. Nick says a rematch has to be down the line. Matt kind of apologizes to Alex before inviting the new team of Top Flight to challenge for the belts next week. They do apologize to Marvez once more and Alex accepts it.
MATCH 3
Shawn Spears vs. Scorpio Sky
Collar and elbow. Elbow strikes by Sky and he cross chops Shawn down. Shawn corners him and chops away at him. Sky fires back. Boot from Sky. Cody Rhodes and Darby Allin will be facing Team Taz next week. Sky and Spears brawl on the outside. Sky bites him as Tully lurks behind. Sky sends Shawn back in the ring, but Spears climbs up top to launch him off.
Back from break the two duke it out on the outside and the steel stairs are set up on the outside. Spears catches Sky with sidewalk slam right on the top of the stairs. Back in the ring, Sky goes for a TKO and he manages to turn it into a sharpshooter (tipping the cap to Bret Hart). Tully implores Spears to reach the ropes and he does. Tully suckers the sight of Sky as he tosses Spears a slug who loads his glove. Sky also has a slug but tosses it and gets slugged hard. He covers, 1-2-3.
WINNER: Shawn Spears
What was that about?!

Dasha tries to get with Kenny Omega but she can’t find him. They cut to Marvez who runs down Kenny (who is on the phone). He asks him about his World Title match on December 2. Mox has taken all the headlines from Kenny with that AEW Title. People ask him “where’s The Cleaner?” He’s never faced Jon one-on-one in a real match. They’re going to figure it out. He’s got a flight to catch and Kenny is dismissive.
MATCH 4
Tay Conti vs. Red Velvet
The two lock up and exchange some mat work. Some arm drags go down. Lock up and shoulder block. Leg lariat by Red Velvet. She chokes Tay in the corner. Tay and her shove one another. Judo throws by Tay. Big back kick by Conti for a two count. Near fall. We go to picture-in-picture.
Back from break, Velvet catches Tay with a bulldog. Knees to the back of Conti and Velvet hits a running stunner. She can’t hook the leg and only gets a two. Both women double roundhouse kick each other. Anna Jay over and slides in the chair. Conti throws the chair back and Velvet spears her. Near fall. Boot to the side of the head kind of misses, but Conti rolls over and hits a short arm pump kick. Gory special turned into a spinning knee (kind of a GTS modified). Pinfall win.
WINNER: Tay Conti
.@theeredvelvett is gaining her momentum back!

Despite not taking the chair, Anna Jay celebrates with Tay who looks a little cautious. The Dark Order watches on.
Jericho and Max talk trash to Marvez (very funny) and in comes Sammy who says he got an email from MJF to say meet at the beach. Sammy is pissed. Max says he sent him two emails. Sammy says he only got one. Jericho tries to settle things down. MJF gives Sammy his plane ticket and Sammy is still ticked about it all.
Eddie Kingston comes out and heels on the crowd before they can babyface him. He has to live with saying those two words he did on Saturday. He says he’ll never stop wrestling again even though he said “I quit” at Full Gear. He then hypes Rey vs. Penta 2.
.@MadKing1981 had to get something off his chest before the @PENTAELZEROM vs. @ReyFenixMx match.

Eddie comes in the ring and praises Penta. Eddie literally kicks Rey out of the ring. He says he doesn’t need his brother. Out comes PAC. He calls out Eddie. “Did you think I’d be gone forever? The bastard’s back and you have made a very, very big mistake.” Officials separate the two (including Jerry Lynn) and Tony announces that it’s going to be PAC making his return to the ring against The Blade. The scuffle continues as we go off the air.
