| 0:00.0 | Double or nothing is coming up in one month's time, AW is going to be back in Las Vegas for their next pay-per-view and tonight they took one step towards solidifying their main event, which is going to be, hasn't been announced yet, but it's going to be a four-way for the AW World Heavyweight Championship, it will be MJF defending against the other three pillars of the company. |
| 0:23.0 | Tonight, it was supposed to be Darby Allen, one-on-one with Sammy Gavart. The winner of that match would challenge MJF at Double or nothing because last week, Jungle Boy got bounced out of the pillars tournament, he got screwed, but he lost. |
| 0:39.0 | And I said, you know, there's still a chance that we can end up with a four-way here. |
| 0:43.0 | Just doesn't make sense, that's the match that makes the most sense to do heal against heal, MJF against Sammy, Sammy laying down for MJ. I mean, what kind of way is that to promote a main event for your pay-per-view? |
| 0:55.0 | Where one of the participants in the main event might lay down for the champion, not exactly the best way to be promoting your pay-per-view main event. |
| 1:07.0 | And so tonight, MJF comes out, he gets involved, he calls Darby the match, and it looks like we're going to have MJF against Sammy Gavara until Tony Shivani makes a very important announcement, which is that we're going to have a tag team match next week. |
| 1:23.0 | And if Darby and Jungle Boy can beat MJF and Sammy, we're going to get our four-way at Double or nothing, which is exactly what is going to end up happening. |
| 1:32.0 | And MJF also, by the way, has pickles. He's going to have his very own custom pickle jar. |
| 1:40.0 | That's right, we'll talk about those pickles a little bit later on. Tony Khan had an announcement of his own, that wasn't the announcement that Tony Khan had been promoting all week long. |
| 1:48.0 | He was going to make some kind of news and the announcement that Tony Khan made tonight had to do with the return of the Owen Hart tournament last year. |
| 1:56.0 | We had the first ever men's and women's Owen Hart tournaments. They had Martha Hart come in, Owen's kids. |
| 2:02.0 | It was nice, you know, frankly, I thought it was a very nice presentation. |
| 2:06.0 | It sounded at the time like it was going to be an annual thing. And so this was the announcement of the kickoff. |
| 2:11.0 | So I've got news on when the tournament will be kicking off and when the tournament will be culminated, which really should not be a surprise. |
| 2:19.0 | If you look at the live event schedule today, W has coming up in the summer, it should be pretty clear when the Owen Hart tournament is going to be taking place and when the tournament is going to be climaxing and the date of the finals of the tournament is very interesting. |
| 2:35.0 | So we'll talk about that. |
| 2:37.0 | We also had a surprise on the show tonight. I will tell you, this is not something I was expecting. This caught me out of left field. |
| 2:44.0 | And I think a lot of people have a left field, especially when you consider the fact that this individual is still listed on the WWE roster on WWE.com, at least as of an hour ago, he was. |
| 2:57.0 | I don't know if they snuck in there and took him down. |
| 3:00.0 | But Roderick Strong made his AEW debut tonight on Dynamite coming to the aid of his former undisputed era partner, Adam Cole. |
| 3:10.0 | As he was being beaten down by the Jericho Appreciation Society, Roderick Strong came down, he laid him all out, he embraced his former partner. |
| 3:21.0 | And so Adam Cole and Roderick Strong now, I guess just waiting for Kylo Riley to make his eventual return. Kylo Riley's been out with some pretty serious injury issues. |
