Update from MJF on AEW Dynamite
MJF gave us an update from his AEW Championship campaign HQ:
Matt Hardy calls out Sammy Guevara on AEW Dynamite
Matt Hardy was out next to cut a promo. He said that when he came to AEW he was looking for respect. Hardy then spoke about how he would be going forward on-screen as Matthew Hardy.
Matt then put over Private Party as a top tag-team. He compared the duo to himself and his brother Jeff when they were younger. Hardy then called out Sammy Guevara, saying that he had tried to help Sammy but to no avail.
Sammy Guevara came out from under the ring while Hardy had his back turned. However, Hardy was clearly away of the presence and both men started throwing right hands at each other. The fight spilled out to ringside where they set a table up. Guevara then chucked a chair at Matt Hardy's head which busted him open pretty badly.
Sammy then set up Matt Hardy on the table and leapt off the entrance ramp, taking Hardy out. The segment was short but it got the storyline over very well and set things up for this feud.
GRADE - B.
We got backstage footage of Santana and Ortiz, still upset from their loss, destroying Trent's mom's minivan with a sledgehammer.

AEW Super Wednesday Debate: Chris Jericho debates Orange Cassidy (w/Eric Bischoff)
Eric Bischoff made his return to TNT as the special guest moderator for the debate between Orange Cassidy and Chris Jericho. Cassidy and Jericho then came out and headed down to the ring.
Bischoff asked the first question, regarding the beef between Jericho and Cassidy. Cassidy took a shot at Cassidy for not taking anything seriously and not dressing up for the occasion. Jericho then called Cassidy a joke and a flash in the pan.
Cassidy didn't respond when asked for his response.
Jericho said that he had a host of titles. He then said that if he and Cassidy were in the same high-school, he'd have taken out Cassidy in the hallway.
Bischoff's next question was about global sea levels.
Cassidy finally spoke up, and stressed that Fossil Fuel emissions needed to be reduced to counter rising sea levels.
Bischoff's next question was about Orange Cassidy's popularity with the AEW fanbase.
Jericho took a shot at both Orange Cassidy and the fans who loved him. Jericho then reiterated that Cassidy would have to give him $7,000 after he beat him next week. Bischoff then asked about why the rematch meant so much to each man.
Cassidy shut Jericho down, saying that Le Champion was just trying to embarrass him. Cassidy then asked Jericho how it would be like if after all this, he lost to someone like him.
Bischoff then named Orange Cassidy as the winner of the debate. A livid Jericho then unleashed Jake Hager on Orange Cassidy.
GRADE - A+

Jon Moxley (C) vs Darby Allin (for the AEW World Championship)
Darby Allin made the mistake of slapping Jon Moxley across the face. The AEW World Champion hit back with a right hand that took Darby down and made him bleed from the mouth. Moxley then took Allin down with a nasty clothesline before tossing the challenger across the ring.
Allin hit back with an arm drag followed by a dropkick. He then hit a suicide dive through the ropes and onto the entrance ramp. Moxley was in no mood to play and he tossed Allin off the entrance ramp and face-first into the ring post as we headed to commercial.
