That was a damn fine match.

Backstage, The Acclaimed claim Bowens had Allin beat.

Match Two: MJF vs. Shawn Dean

CM Punk runs in, MJF bails, Punk kicks Dean in the head and hits him with a GTS to draw the DQ.

Winner by DQ: Shawn Dean

The bell rang after he kicked him in the head, so the GTS is kind of a dick move. Punk grabs a mic.

"This is your future. This happens every single time you step in the ring until you step in the ring with me, you little bitch!"

"Okay, it's bad enough that I'm here in this herpes-infested cesspool known as New Jersey!"

"Don't harp on them, they're winners. You just lost!"

"Everything you say is fake and induces boredom. You came out here last week and said you were done with this, but I know the truth: without me, you're nothing. I give you an edge, I put a chip on your shoulder, I make you relevant. And for you to come out here and claim that I'm a waste of money when you're the guy who came out here and sold Tony Khan a bill of goods. You ain't the saviour these people thought you were. But you know who is? Maxwell Jacob Friedman. And you know what? I think it's weird that you had such a problem when I said I was like Roddy Piper in Portland, so I have to wonder, PG Piper, do you think you're Piper? Because last I checked, Piper was actually talented enough to main event a Wrestlemania. And by the way, if I'm not starting to be shown the proper respect around here, maybe I'll main event a 'Mania too. What are you laughing at, dipshit?"

"All I'm trying to do is kick your ass, so how about you stop talking and get in the ring? I'll do it right here in New Jersey. You ran from it, you hid behind FTR. And if you think the grass is still greener, go, main event night four of a buy one get one extravaganza, get released faster than you last in bed, and I'll still be here when you come back."

"You want a match? You want the goddamn match? Fine, next week it's going to be CM Punk... vs. Wardlow!"

"The difference between Piper and myself, and a worm like you, is Piper and I would fight anyone any time. So bring on Wardlow. Eventually you're going to run out of people to hide behind. And I'm going to put you to sleep."

They show a video package for Cody vs. Sammy at Battle of the Belts.

Chris Jericho comes out. "New Jersey! What a historic night, the very first episode of AEW Dynamite on TBS tonight! Little bit of a homecoming for me, since I haven't been on TBS since April 7th, 1999, when I was on WCW Thunder, losing to Booker T. I think he cheated. But it is great to be back on TBS, it's great to be in Newark, it's great to be anywhere since those jackoffs 2point0 attacked me from behind. I've still got cobwebs. Last week, I didn't come out here to save Eddie Kingston, I came out here to give a taste of their own medicine to those 2point0 dipshits, baby!"

2point0 come out. "I don't know if you remember the last time we were in this ring together, but we gave you a taste of a steel chair, how did you like that?"

"I didn't like the taste of that, but as I've said before, I can't hear what you're saying, I can't take my eye off of your square face. You look like a post-it note."

"You cannot call him a square head!"

"I can call him a square head, I can't call you one, you look more like a pinhead. He look like a pinhead? Let's hear it for square head! Pinhead!"

"Jericho, you want another taste?"

"How about I just grab this (grabs Floyd) and knock both your heads off your shoulders, alright?"

Danny Garcia runs in and gets hit, but the beatdown commences anyway until P&P and Eddie Kingston make the save.

They announce that Jake Atlas has been signed.

The former Undisputed Era cut a promo expressing unity. Cole challenges Jake Atlas to a match on Rampage.
