SEGMENT ONE
The camera opens to reveal Benny Mouse’s iconic desk, with the skyline window view behind the chair. In the seat behind the desk sits AEW Director of Operations Sami Zayn, looking confident, as his eyes are fixed directly into the camera.
Sami Zayn: (leaning back in the chair, smirking) Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to AEW Dynamite! We’re just days away from making history at AEW Genesis, our inaugural pay-per-view event. Tonight, right here, we’re going to put the final touches on what promises to be a groundbreaking show.
The camera zooms in on Sami’s face, emphasizing his enthusiasm for the upcoming event.
Sami Zayn: Tonight is the last chance for our competitors to prove themselves, and to earn their spots on the Genesis card. And let me tell you, it won’t be easy. We’re not just looking for good; we’re looking for greatness.
As Zayn speaks, the feed suddenly cuts to static. The screen flickers, and for a moment, viewers are left in suspense. The whole ordeal lasts maybe two seconds before Zayn is back in focus, raising an eyebrow at what just transpired.
Sami Zayn: Well, it seems like we’ve got a bit of technical difficulty. But hey, that’s live television for you, right?
Zayn clears his throat and continues.
Sami Zayn: Now, where were we? Ah, yes. Tonight, expect nothing but the best. We’re finalizing the Genesis card, and I promise you, each match will be pay-per-view quality. We’re here to deliver, and we won’t settle for anything less. And I’d like to take a moment to revel in the fact that under Megan Mouse’s leadership, under Eric Bischoff’s leadership… we never got to a PPV before we’d experience a programming disruption. The days of erratic television are finally over, thanks to my impeccable leadership.
Zayn’s confidence radiates as he addresses the camera, reassuring the audience.
Sami Zayn: But before we dive into tonight’s action, let me take a moment to express our gratitude. We know you, the wrestling fans, have choices on Monday nights. Yet, you continue to choose AEW Dynamite as your first choice. And for that, we thank you. So, buckle up, because tonight, we’re not just building towards Genesis. We’re making history right here, right now, on AEW Dynamite!
The camera pans out as the crowd erupts with excitement, setting the stage for an unforgettable night of wrestling.
The Dynamite intro plays and Arn Anderson and Kevin Kelly are at ringside, welcoming us to the show. We’re live from the Hampton Coliseum in front of a sold out crowd in Hampton, VA, as we’re just six days away from Genesis. Anderson says tonight, we’re going to determine challengers for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship as the Beat the Clock Championship Challenge series concludes with Ricky Starks and Kevin Owens, and we’ll determine the challengers for the Uso’s Tag Team Championships as the Outsiders are set to take on Jurassic Express! But first, we’re kicking things off with a steel cage match to settle the score one and for all between Nyla Rose and Ronda Rousey!
Match #1 | Steel Cage Match
‘Rowdy’ Ronda Rousey (0-1) vs. Nyla Rose (0-0)
The steel cage surrounds the ring, with the bars creating an unforgiving and menacing atmosphere around the squared circle. Kevin Kelly says that Nyla Rose has been a thorn in the side of Ronda Rousey since she arrived on the scene in AEW, and although Rousey holds a singles victory over her, it wasn’t enough to settle the score.
The anticipation is palpable as “Bad Reputation” blares through the speakers, signaling the arrival of the Rowdy One, Ronda Rousey.
Kevin Kelly: Ladies and gentlemen, this is not for the faint of heart. We are about to witness an absolute war inside the steel cage between two of the most dominant forces in AEW – Ronda Rousey and Nyla Rose!
The camera cuts to the cage door as it swings open, revealing the powerhouse Nyla Rose. The crowd erupts as the two competitors lock eyes, knowing that this battle will leave one of them scarred and battered.
Arn Anderson: This is what professional wrestling is all about, folks. Two fierce competitors stepping into the cage, leaving it all on the line. You have to wonder if the rest of the Knockouts are watching this one backstage, as the outcome could have some serious championship implications!
The bell rings, and the clash begins.
The two women circle each other cautiously, gauging the distance. Suddenly, Nyla charges at Rousey, aiming for a thunderous clothesline. Rousey ducks and counters with a barrage of stiff punches to the midsection. The crowd roars with each strike.
Kevin Kelly: Ronda Rousey showing her striking prowess early on!
Rousey seizes the opportunity, grabbing Nyla’s arm and attempting an early armbar. Nyla, though, uses her raw power to lift Rousey off the mat, smashing her against the cage. The impact reverberates through the arena.
Arn Anderson: That’s the strength advantage Nyla Rose possesses. Rousey has to be careful.
The match intensifies, with both competitors using the steel cage as a weapon. Rousey, however, shows her MMA background, utilizing the cage to her advantage, slamming Nyla’s head into the steel mesh.
As the battle wages on, the crimson begins to flow. Nyla Rose, bloodied but not broken, fights back with a vicious spear, sending Rousey crashing into the cage. The crowd gasps at the sheer brutality.
Kevin Kelly: This is a fight, not just a wrestling match. These women are leaving it all out there!
The climax approaches as both fighters climb the cage, exchanging strikes atop the unforgiving structure. Rousey gains the upper hand, delivering a relentless series of knee strikes to Nyla, who teeters on the edge.
With a final, decisive blow, Rousey sends Nyla crashing back into the ring. Seizing the opportunity, Rousey locks in her patented armbar. Bloodied and battered, Nyla struggles but eventually succumbs to the excruciating pain.
Arn Anderson: She’s got it! It’s locked in tight!
Nyla, unable to withstand the pain, passes out as the blood pours, but Rousey refuses to release the hold immediately. The referee pleads with Rousey to let go as Nyla’s body lies lifeless in the center of the ring!
Finally, Rousey releases the hold, standing tall over Rose. She makes her way to the cage door cockily, swings it open, and she exits, leaving behind a blood-soaked battleground. Rousey trash talks the camera, saying that she’s the rightful Knockouts Champion, and that she never lost her belt. She says be it Sasha Banks or Rhea Ripley, they’re on borrowed time because she’s coming for her belt!
Arn Anderson: An absolute war, and Ronda Rousey emerges victorious in brutal fashion!
The camera captures the aftermath, showcasing the intensity and physical toll of this unforgettable cage match, as AEW Dynamite kicks off with a statement that will resonate throughout the wrestling world.
Winner: ‘Rowdy’ Ronda Rousey (1-1)
Match Time: 14:06
SEGMENT TWO
The camera cuts backstage to the parking area, where a sleek black car pulls up. The car door swings open, and the legendary Angelina Love steps out, exuding an air of confidence and determination. Her presence alone commands attention as she walks towards the entrance.
Kevin Kelly: (voiceover, offscreen) Ladies and gentlemen, if you’ve followed the world of professional wrestling, you know exactly who’s just arrived. The one and only Angelina Love, a true legend of the PWI and a pioneer of the women’s revolution in the late 2000s.
Arn Anderson: (voiceover, offscreen) Angelina Love, a name that resonates through the annals of wrestling history. Tonight, she’s here for a dream match against Miss Athena Star. This is one for the ages!

The scene sets the stage for a main event that promises to be a clash of styles, eras, and legacies. AEW Dynamite is about to witness history as Angelina Love steps into the ring for a dream match against Miss Athena Star.
Renee Young stands backstage, microphone in hand, ready to interview the always outspoken advocate, Paul Heyman. The camera focuses on Heyman, who stands with an air of confidence, embodying the essence of his role as the advocate for the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar.
Renee Young: (looking directly into the camera) Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here with the one and only Paul Heyman. Paul, last week, Darby Allin had some strong words for Brock Lesnar. What are your thoughts on his comments?
Heyman smirks, adjusting his suit, and takes a moment before responding.
Paul Heyman: (pausing briefly for dramatic effect)
Renee, my dear, Darby Allin seems to enjoy speaking in riddles and poetic phrases. But let me make one thing perfectly clear – Brock Lesnar does not speak in riddles. He speaks with one language, the language of brute force, dominance, and absolute destruction.
The camera zooms in on Heyman’s intense gaze as he continues.
Paul Heyman: (leaning in) In six days, at AEW Genesis, Darby Allin will experience a level of brutality he couldn’t fathom in his darkest nightmares. Brock Lesnar is going to leave Darby in a trail of his own sweat, blood, vomit, and urine. It won’t be a match; it’ll be a one-sided annihilation.
Heyman’s words hang in the air, the gravity of the impending showdown between Lesnar and Allin palpable.
Renee Young: (looking concerned) Those are strong words, Paul. Are you confident that Brock can deliver on such a brutal promise?
Heyman smirks again, exuding unwavering confidence.
Paul Heyman: Renee, confidence is an understatement. Brock Lesnar will walk out of AEW Genesis with his hand raised in victory, leaving Darby Allin broken and battered in his wake. Darby Allin is a mere footnote in Brock Lesnar’s story, whereas Brock Lesnar IS Dary Allin’s story. That’s not a prediction, Renee. It’s a spoiler!
Heyman confidently walks off, leaving Renee Young with a sense of foreboding. The stage is set for a brutal encounter at AEW Genesis, and the advocate for the Beast has made it clear that they’re prepared to unleash hell.
Back at ringside, Arn Anderson and Kevin Kelly discuss what we just witnessed, and say that Brock Lesnar and Darby Allin’s rivalry has been simmering since Allin cost Lesnar his shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at Starrcade. Anderson says that Darby Allin could very well live to regret ever getting involved in Lesnar’s business. They switch gears to discuss our next match, the finals of Sami Zayn’s Beat the Clock Championship Challenge, to discuss which man will main event Genesis against the AEW Champion AJ Styles!
Match #2 | Beat the Clock Championship Challenge Finals
‘Absolute’ Ricky Stars (Internet Champion) (1-0) vs. Kevin Owens (1-0)
The crowd is buzzing with excitement as the ring announcer introduces the next match. The stakes are high, as Absolute Ricky Starks and Kevin Owens step into the squared circle for a chance to challenge AJ Styles for the World Heavyweight Championship at AEW Genesis.
Kevin Kelly: Ladies and gentlemen, this is a match that can change the course of AEW history! The winner earns the right to challenge AJ Styles for the World Heavyweight Championship at Genesis.
Arn Anderson: You can feel the tension in the air, Kevin. Both Starks and Owens have been impressive lately, but only one can move on to face the champ. Both men were highly sought after by the AEW in the draft, with Starks selected first and Owens traded for our seventh round pick GUNTHER.
The bell rings, and the match is underway. Both Starks and Owens start with a collar-and-elbow tie-up, showcasing their technical prowess. Starks, known for his agility, attempts a quick arm drag, but Owens counters with a power display, shoving Starks into the ropes.
Kevin Kelly: Look at the power of Kevin Owens. Starks may be quick, but Owens is a powerhouse. Owens definitely has the size advantage here!
The pace quickens as Owens connects with a thunderous clothesline, sending Starks crashing to the mat. Owens follows up with a senton, driving the air out of Starks’ lungs. Starks, however, counters with a sharp DDT, catching Owens off guard.
Arn Anderson: (appreciative) Starks knows how to turn the tide in an instant. That DDT might be the opening he needs.
The match reaches a fever pitch as both competitors exchange strikes in the center of the ring. Starks, using his speed, delivers a lightning-fast combination of kicks and punches. Owens retaliates with a brutal superkick that rocks Starks.
Starks attempts to retaliate with a springboard maneuver, looking to capitalize on his aerial skills. However, Owens catches him mid-air with a devastating pop-up powerbomb. The impact reverberates through the arena, leaving Starks writhing in pain.
Arn Anderson: That powerbomb might’ve just sealed the deal for Owens. Starks is in serious trouble.
As Starks struggles to get back on his feet, Owens sizes him up for the finish. He signals for the Pop-up Powerbomb once again. Starks, weakened but defiant, counters with a roll-up attempt. However, Owens shifts his weight and turns it into a surprising small package.
Kevin Kelly: Wait a minute! Owens with the small package!
Senior Official Michael McMahon counts, and the crowd gasps as his hand slaps the mat for a 3!
Arn Anderson: He got him! Kevin Owens has just pulled off the upset!
The crowd erupts in shock and excitement as Owens’ music hits. Starks, frustrated and stunned, rolls out of the ring while Owens celebrates his hard-fought victory.
Kevin Kelly: What a match! Kevin Owens will now go on to face AJ Styles for the World Heavyweight Championship at AEW Genesis!
The camera captures the disappointment on Starks’ face and the jubilation on Owens’, setting the stage for an epic showdown at Genesis.
Winner: Kevin Owens (2-0)
Match Time: 16:54
Kevin Owens revels in his hard-fought victory, the echoes of his music filling the air. However, just as the celebration hits its peak, the screen glitches with static, momentarily interrupting the broadcast.
Kevin Kelly: (confused, apologetic) Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize once again for the technical difficulties. We’re working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
As the feed stabilizes, Owens’ music abruptly cuts off, creating an eerie silence. The audience watches in anticipation, unsure of what will happen next.
Arn Anderson: Bear with us, folks. We’re doing our best to bring you the action.
Suddenly, the arena is bathed in the electric blue lights, and the unmistakable sound of AJ Styles’ entrance music reverberates through the venue. The AEW World Heavyweight Champion, AJ Styles, steps onto the stage, his title gleaming in the spotlight.
Kevin Kelly: Wait a minute, the Champ is here!
AJ Styles, with a confident smirk, makes his way down the ramp, eyes locked on Kevin Owens in the ring. The tension is palpable as the champion and the challenger engage in a tense staredown.
Arn Anderson: Ladies and gentlemen, things are heating up in the world title picture!
Neither men have a microphone, but can barely be heard as they trash talk one another from opposite ends of the arena, much to the crowd’s pleasure. The verbal jabs continue as the tension escalates. The two competitors exchange heated words that are barely audible to the viewers.
Arn Anderson: This is pure animosity, Kevin. Genesis is shaping up to be one hell of a showdown! Don’t go anywhere folks, we’ll be right back after this commercial break!
The cameras capture the arrival of the legendary Miss Athena Star as she steps out of her car, the aura of confidence surrounding her. The fans watching at home can feel the anticipation building for the main event.
Kevin Kelly: (voiceover, offscreen) Ladies and gentlemen, the pioneer of the Knockouts Division, Miss Athena Star, has arrived at AEW Dynamite!

Dusty Rhodes, the American Dream, walks through the backstage area, searching for his son Cody Rhodes. The anticipation is in the air as Dusty bumps into Renee Young.
Dusty Rhodes: (smiling) Hey there, Renee. Have you seen Cody? He sent me a text to join him backstage tonight.
Renee Young: That’s weird… Oddly enough, Dusty, Cody isn’t here tonight. I haven’t seen him around.
Before Dusty can react, the atmosphere shifts dramatically. Suddenly, MJF and Wardlow emerge from the shadows, launching a vicious attack on the American Dream. Renee Young gasps, her hands covering her mouth in shock.
MJF: Surprise!
MJF and Wardlow brutally assault Dusty Rhodes, leaving him battered and bloodied on the cold concrete floor.
Renee Young: (terrified) Someone get help! We need help back here!
MJF, with a sadistic grin, grabs the AEW TV Championship and spits on Dusty Rhodes.
MJF: In six days at Genesis, Cody, I’m going to end this pathetic legacy of yours. Your daddy here is just a taste of what’s coming. He can join you in the hospital.
MJF raises the TV Championship high above his head, proclaiming his dominance.
MJF: You Rhodes men are no stars. You’re has-beens, never-weres. At Genesis, I’ll prove why I’m the true generational talent.
As MJF and Wardlow walk away, leaving Dusty Rhodes motionless on the floor, the shocking scene sets the stage for an intensely personal showdown at AEW Genesis. The war of words has escalated into a brutal physical assault, and the wrestling world is left in shock at the heinous actions of MJF.
Match #3 | #1 Contenders for the AEW World Tag Team Championship
Jurassic Express (2-0) vs. The Outsiders (0-0)
The Outsiders, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, swagger down the ramp, ready for action. Across the ring, the dynamic duo of Jurassic Express, Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy, are prepared for a classic showdown.
The bell rings, and Luchasaurus starts off against Scott Hall. The two lock up, engaging in a test of strength. Luchasaurus, with his immense power, overpowers Hall and sends him reeling with a powerful clothesline.
Kevin Kelly: It was Hulk Hogan who got this match for The Outsiders as an apology of sorts for lying about his marijuana usage.
Arn Anderson: (incredulous) What did you expect Hogan to do? The man has a disease! Why should he have to list all of his medications to Nash? Isn’t that an unreasonable request?
Jungle Boy tags in, and Jurassic Express displays a seamless combination of quick tags and double-team moves. Luchasaurus executes a spinebuster on Hall, while Jungle Boy follows up with a springboard moonsault.
Scott Hall manages to create some separation and tags in Kevin Nash. The big man steps into the ring, using his size advantage to gain control. Nash delivers a thunderous sidewalk slam to Jungle Boy, demonstrating his dominance.
Arn Anderson: Kevin Nash is tired of being a comedy act. He’s tired of being fodder for Hulk Hogan’s reality series. He wants one last run on top, and a win tonight could help him and Hall get there.
Nash tags Hall back in, and The Outsiders begin to cut off the ring, isolating Jungle Boy from his partner.
As the match reaches a critical point, suddenly, the arena erupts with cheers as the unmistakable music of Hulk Hogan blares through the speakers. The distraction is immediate, and everyone’s attention turns to the entrance ramp.
In an outlandish and humorous fashion, Hogan enters the scene wearing a feather boa, sunglasses, and playing an air guitar. He struts around the ringside area, drawing the attention of the crowd and even the competitors in the ring.
Kevin Kelly: It looks as if Hogan has taken his “medicine” tonight. What the hell is he doing out here?

Match Time: 26:28
Just as it appears that AEW Dynamite is about to go off the air, the feed cuts out for a third time, and when it pops back on, we see the Harlem Turtles inside the production truck! We can hear the Production Director banging on the entrance to the truck from the outside, as the Turtles mess with buttons. After pressing a few buttons causing the screen to flicker several times in a row, our feed takes us inside the home of Master Splinter, who was laid out two weeks ago just as he was set to reveal Benny Mouse’s whereabouts!
Master Splinter, the wise sensei, stands in a dimly lit room, his expression serious and determined. He addresses the camera, acknowledging the role of the Harlem Turtles in helping him take control of the Dynamite feed.
Master Splinter: (nodding) I extend my gratitude to the Harlem Turtles for their assistance tonight. Thanks to them, we can finally bring the truth to light.
Master Splinter takes a moment to emphasize his commitment to honesty.
Master Splinter: (resolute) If there’s one thing my fans know after more than three decades, it’s that I am a man of my word. I promised to reveal where Benny Mouse has been and why Sami Zayn has hidden the truth. Tonight, there will be no interruptions. The feed is under my control.
Master Splinter delves into the past, unraveling the mystery of Benny Mouse’s disappearances.
Master Splinter: (solem) To understand where Benny was, we must first explore where he has been.
Splinter paints a picture of the summer of 2008 when the Elite Wrestling Alliance mysteriously disappeared.
Master Splinter: Benny claimed he was working at the Summer Olympics in Beijing. That was not the truth. He went to Beijing, not for the games, but for his health.
Splinter exposes another instance, a month later, when Benny claimed to be assisting in John McCain’s campaign.
Master Splinter: (revelatory) Again, a lie. Benny was seeking medical attention for undisclosed reasons.
Splinter continues, explaining that as the years passed, Benny attempted to wash away the damage to his reputation through relaunches and re-brandings that were short-lived.
Master Splinter: (solem) These efforts were futile because the truth haunted BWM Inc…. and that truth is, Benny Mouse is battling dementia!
Master Splinter: (serious) Megan discovered the truth and intended to make it public. In retaliation, Benny and Sami kidnapped her after almost running her over with their car, paving the way for Sami Zayn to manipulate the situation.
Master Splinter: (emotional) For 16 years, Benny Mouse has been facing dementia. Every hiatus, every relaunch – all a consequence of his medical condition.
Splinter’s expression is deep with concern, as he looks into the camera.
Master Splinter: (resolute) I wouldn’t lie about something this serious. The fans deserve to know, the wrestlers deserve to know. Zayn tried to silence me with Menotaur, but the truth cannot be hidden. I urge the BWM-Inc. Board of Directors to look into what I’m alleging, and to launch a full internal investigation. Because unfortunately, this isn’t even the worst of it. You see—
Suddenly, the feed finally cuts, as the AEW copyright logo appears and Dynamite abruptly goes off the air! The audience is left in shock and awe at what Splinter alleges, as we must ponder what this means for AEW Genesis, and the organization’s future under the leadership of Sami Zayn and Benny Mouse!
