Segment: Tully Blanchard, Shawn Spears
Footage of Tully Blanchard’s unbelievable promo that was shown on social media airs. Earlier today, Blanchard gets into an SVU with Spears and shows him a box and says the missing piece for Spears is there. It’s a “black glove,” signifying that Spears is going to wear the “black glove” like the Blackjacks, Barry Windham, Ted DiBiase, etc. in the past.

In-Ring: Taz, Brian Cage, Jon Moxley
Taz grabs a microphone and says that Jon Moxely had the audacity to giggle at him when he was speaking to him last week. Taz says that they don’t play games and this is not a joke to them. He says that Moxley better get his head on right or Cage is going to take it off.
Moxley comes out but Taz stops him before getting in the ring and tells him to think and be careful before he steps in. Moxley shrugs Taz off and gets in the ring. He says the reason he was smiling last week and why he’s smiling right now is the thought of stepping in the ring with Brian Cage and going to war with him makes him happy.
Moxley says that’s why he’s in this business but stepping in the ring with him with his title on the line is the farthest thing from a game. Moxley looks over Cage and says he is impressive and says that Mox is no machine and he is only human and can be beat but it will take all night long to get it accomplished. Moxley says taking the AEW Title away from him is a different prospect from anything Cage has faced.
Moxley says Cage is in over his head and he will realize that he is swimming with a different breed of shark at Fyter Fest. Moxley says next time they want to name drop him on TV they better remember who exactly they are talking about.

Earlier today, Schiavone interviewed Darby Allin. Schiavone says that AEW’s doctor has not cleared him to wrestle tonight and he asks Allin if the issues with Cage were due to what happened with Taz. Allin just says he will get the last laugh on Cage.
Interview: FTR
Tony Schiavone sits down with FTR and asks them what their name means. Dax says it’s a way of life for them, it’s not just a name or a tag line. Cash says it’s whatever they want to mean. He says they are a part of the “revolution” right now so right now it means “For The Revolution.”
FTR talks about all of the tag teams in AEW and say that the tag champs aren’t even a real team. They call the match with The Bucks a dream match that everyone wants but they don’t think it’s a dream match. Cash says they don’t want to have the best match with them, they just want to punch them in the mouth and beat them in three seconds.
Cash says that they saved The Bucks because they want The Bucks to be 100% when they beat them, they don’t want them to have any excuse for why FTR beat them. Schiavone says he always thought FTR meant “F*ck the Revival” and they all laugh and then Butcher and Blade show up. They try to go after FTR but security separates them. They will face each other next week.
