night’s alright for fighting!

steel guardrail. Prince Nana called down the Gates of Agony
to ringside.

offensive flurry, including a 450 splash off the top for a
near fall on Swerve!
“Look at the rotation and the added impact of the 450,” said
Nigel.
Swerve stunned Fox with a neck breaker and then a kick to
the back of the head. Swerve squashed Fox with a double foot
stomp and pinned Fox!

declined and left the ring.
The House of Black were watching from somewhere in the
arena.

Kris: “You had us going there for a second, but you showed
up and picked the right side. I wanted to say thank you for
making the right decision.”
Skye: “You don’t have to thank me because I didn’t do
anything for you. I did it for Willow because I always have
Willow’s back. And good luck out there tonight, Willow.”
Kris: “I have your back too.”
Lexy Nair interviewed Alex Abrahantes next!
Abrahantes said he and Penta El Zero Miedo showed last night
that lucha is life.
Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana interrupted.

Hangman Page’s house. Alex said the only thing Penta puts
ahead of lucha is his family, and he challenged Swerve to a
match against Penta El Zero Miedo at Dynamite!

got you a special gift. Roll the clip please.”
AEW World Champion MJF appeared on the big screen with a
message for Caster. MJF said Caster earned his respect.
“You’re starting to grow on me, Caster. I’m kind of starting
to like the Acclaimed.”
Caster: “Thank you so much! I love it, Billy! Thank you,
Anthony! It means a lot and this holiday means a lot to us
because it’s a culmination of all of our hard work at the
top of the Trios division. And that hard work is symbolized
by that trophy sitting on the announce desk right there. As
much as that trophy belongs to us, we couldn’t have done it
without the people And since we are the people’s choice and
the people’s voice, this trophy goes out to all the fans.”
