It's Dynamite's first show back on the road! Live from Miami, Cody battles QT Marshall in a strap match, the Bucks defend against Eddie and Penta in a street fight, and Kris Statlander and Orange Cassidy battle husband and wife duo of Bunny and Blade in Dynamite's (but not AEW's) first-ever mixed tag without Shaq!

Match One: South Beach Strap Match: Cody Rhodes vs. QT Marshall

Unlike AEW's dog collar and later bullrope matches, this match can only be won by touching all four corners without hindrance.

Winner: Cody Rhodes

They replay Shawn Spears costing Sammy Guevara his match with MJF last week, then show a promo Spears cut earlier today where he says he did it because of Sammy's ego, and mistaken belief that he's always one step ahead. Sammy then tosses a chair at him, sets it up, and says this is far from over.

Tony Schiavone introduces Kenny Omega.

"Alright, we have a chance, he is the world champion, Kenny Omega, alongside you, Don Callis. We want to talk about--"

Callis: "You're not going to talk about anything, Tony. Go stand over there and be the Tommy Bahama model we all know you want to be. It's time for a history lesson. Because Kenny Omega and Don Callis are making history! Kenny Omega defeated Jon Moxley! Kenny Omega, the god of pro wrestling, defeated the great Rey Fenix! Kenny Omega, the greatest wrestler in the history of the world, defeated Jungle Boy! Kenny Omega and I have won so many titles around the world, we had to get an entourage just to carry the belts! So all of you insect fans are in the presence of greatness, you're in the presence of Kenny Omega! But I was away last week, and you realized, you and I have a very big problem. The problem is, you've beaten everybody! There's nobody left for you to beat! There's no one left for you to beat! And that leads to a big problem for Fight for the Fallen, no challengers in the back, you've beaten everybody, and that presents a desperate situation!"

Dark Order come out.

Uno: "Well, well, well. Alex, my good sir, would you hold this jacket? It is incredibly hot here in Miami tonight. Now, I have spent the past several minutes listening to you and your weird uncle talk, and I have a few questions for you, Mr. Omega. Now, what I want to know is why you are ignoring this crowd. Why are you ignoring the #1 ranked wrestler in AEW? And most importantly, why are you afraid of my friend?"

Kenny: "You've got a lot of questions. You've got a lot of questions for a cosplaying numbnuts. This going back to live crowds thing is awful, I can't make you out. I have a question for you: what is the capital of Thailand?"

"Oh, are we playing trivia today?"

Kenny hoofs him in the nuts. "It's Bangkok, baby!"

Dark Order swarm, but Good Brothers and the rest of Kenny's entourage come out and attack from behind. Hangman Page comes back to make the save, clears the ring of everyone but Omega, tees up for the Buckshot Lariat, but when the time comes, can't bring himself to hit it. He stares down Omega instead, Gallows distracts, Page goes to knock him off the apron, Kenny grabs his title and runs.

They show a sit-down from earlier where JR interviewed Ethan Page and Darby Allin simultaneously. He says he's uneasy with the fact that both of them have talked about ending the other man's career. Page says there's nothing wrong with that, sometimes they deserve it. JR asks what has happened in Page's life to make him think that. Allin interjects and says that he started wrestling when Page was already in his twelfth year, but was on the same level within that first year. He says that he risked everything to make it big, while Page was complacent, and Page is jealous. Page says the one thing he agrees with is that he was jealous of Allin making it to AEW first, because Page made Allin. He says he brought him in, and he'll take him out, next week in a coffin match. JR says he doesn't feel good about this. Page says he shouldn't.

Match Two: The Pinnacle (FTR and Wardlow) vs. The Inner Circle (Proud & Powerful and Jake Hager)

Winners: The Pinnacle

Konnan attacks Wardlow with the slapjack, Wardlow no-sells, Tully hits Konnan with a chop block, P&P scare Pinnacle off.

Next week, Jon Moxley will defend the IWGP United States Championship against Karl Anderson! They show a promo package for it, highlighting the history between the Good Brothers and Karl Anderson, as well as Kenny's history with the US Title, and the imminent return of the Good Brothers to NJPW. Man, this is technically Anderson's return match to NJPW, and it's happening in AEW. Wild.

MJF hits the ring. Jericho comes out next. There's a table in the middle of the ring. A fan rushes the ring and Jericho dummies him.

MJF: "This ain't about them, it's about us! I've beaten you twice, and you came out and begged for a rematch, it's sad. But I don't blame you. Everyone wants the MJF bump, I'm the king of AEW! That's why you can't wait for me to announce my stipulations."

"First of all, I should have let that fat bastard beat the shit out of you. But you know me, I'm Chris Jericho! I'll accept any stipulation, I'll stand in front of a mac truck, I'll swim in a lake infested with pirannhas, hell, I'll even have sex with your mother. Again!"

"You're not rattling me, Chris, I'm going to sit back down, because that's what you want. That's what these people want. I used to look up to you, man. In fact, I followed every step of your career. Matter of fact, my favourite part of your career was when you were at odds with Jon Moxley. You guys remember that, Chris Jericho vs. Jon Moxley in AEW? You remember what you put him through to get a match? You made him wrestle every member of Inner Circle. So I'm going to take your blueprint and apply it to you. I love Greek mythology, clearly so do you with your nickname of Demo God being derived from demigod. But you're not in the key demo anymore. My favourite story is the labour of Hercules. You're going to have five matches, all with different stipulations. The first four will be opponents of my choosing, and you have to win back to back to back to back. And if you do that, you get that MJF rub once again. And then I will beat you once again. You gonna sign on the line?"

"I'll tell you what, if I can't beat your labours of Jericho, if I can't beat you, maybe I don't deserve to be in AEW. But you want to talk about Greek mythology, I'll sign! I am the god of battle, I am the god of AEW! I'm Chris Jericho, baby!"

He signs and throws the clipboard at MJF.

MJF: "Whoa, whoa, this isn't over! I don't come from a dumpster fire like Miami, I come from the greatest place on earth, Plainview, Long Island, New York! And in Plainview, the deal isn't done until both parties shake hands. Shake my hand!"

Jericho shakes his hand, then hits him with the Judas Effect.

American Top Team members including Amanda Nunes are in the crowd!

Tony Schiavone interviews Britt Baker, who complains about the position she was put in last week. She says Tony Khan should be ashamed for letting her get hurt, and all so Vickie could bring Andrade to AEW. She says anything Andrade draws is blood money, and says maybe next week they can come live from Saudi Arabia. She says, after she beats Nyla next week, Nyla goes back to obscurity.

Match Three: Matt Sydal vs. Andrade El Idolo

Lockup, Andrade presses Sydal to the corner, jockeying for position, Sydal with a hammerlock, hurricanrana for a zero-count, Andrade with a boot, corkscrew brainbuster, goes up top, Sydal with a punch, Andrade with elbows, sends Sydal crashing, Andrade misses a moonsault but hits a standing moonsault for two, misses a big boot, Sydal with a trip, corkscrew senton, kick, whip, reversed, Sydal with a sunset flip, reversed into a rollup for two, Sydal drops down on Andrade's ankle, kicks, goes up top, Andrade knocks him to the floor, follows and hits an elbow from the apron, chop, another, fireman's carry, tosses Sydal face-first onto the apron, climbs back into the ring, back to the floor, sets him up on the apron, springboard baseball slide, rolls out to the floor, rolls Sydal into the ring, follows, Three Amigos, goes for another suplex, Sydal hits him with a crossbody, trading strikes, Andrade with a whip, misses a running knee, Sydal with a dropkick, trading kicks, Andrade with punches, Sydal with roundhouse kicks, rollup for two, kick, Andrade with a lariat, goes up top, Sydal follows, Andrade trips him into a tree of woe, misses a double foot stomp, Sydal with a meteora for two, Andrade with a suplex into the corner, running knees, El Idolo for three.

Winner: Andrade El Idolo

After the bell, Andrade locks in a bow and arrow hold until a ref pulls him off.

In a video package, Christian says every time he faced Matt Hardy, in any form, he won. Matt says Christian always imitated him.

Tony Schiavone introduces Arn Anderson, then says life must be good considering Cody won tonight and Brock won his debut. Arn says it's good to be in Miami, they've missed the fans, then he says "Let's just get right to it." The lights go out again. When they come back on, TOMMY FUCKING END IS IN THE RING! He kicks Anderson using the move once known as Black Mass. Cody comes out and stares him down, End goes to leave, but then hits the same move to Cody. They inform that he will now be known as Malachi Black.

They show that, earlier today, Ricky Starks came out with his own security and said he's not cleared yet. Taz comes out and says that this is embarrassing, he doesn't need security. Starks says that Cage doesn't know how to behave, then says he's going to win the FTW Championship and fuck Cage's wife. Cage comes out and beats down the security team.

Earlier today, they presented Jungle Boy with a trophy for being the first wrestler to earn 50 wins.

Tony Schiavone starts to introduce the members of American Top Team, Dan Lambert takes the mic, says they never agreed to an interview, and AEW sucks, because all pro wrestling since the late '90s has sucked. He says Tony Khan promised him AEW is different, but it isn't. Lance Archer comes in, dummies him, sets him up top, punches him again, Blackout.
