SEGMENT ONE
For Beny, From Molly
As Dynamite comes onto the air, we immediately hear the inspirational guitar strums of Dreams of a Better Day, from the soundtrack of The ButterCream Gang, as a black screen gives way to an opening montage highlighting the life and relationship of BWM Inc. Chairman Benny Mouse and his estranged ex-wife, Molly.
Looking back on a younger man, long ago and far away
Living in an age of innocence, in the shadows of a brighter day
The scene fades in with a shot of Benny Mouse and Molly, circa 2001 or 2002, when the pair first began dating. They’re happy, smiling, and holding hands in the photo as the take a stroll on a breathtaking beach.
Time stood still and it never seemed that our worlds would grow apart
It was all for one, and one for all, straight from the heart
The image transitions to a video clip of Benny and Molly’s wedding ceremony, held in the UWF ring. They exchange vows, surrounded by friends and family. The camera pans to show Molly’s baby bump, as well as her father Al, moments before he would suffer the fatal heart attack that sent Molly into labor.
Warm summer rains that we hoped would never end
Wash away troubles and sorrow
Next we see family photos of Molly in the hospital, looking disheveled as Benny Mouse holds her hand while she’s in labor. It cuts quickly to the two smiling, tears in their eyes as they meet their baby girl, Megan.
And starry nights when each wish came true
Can’t you send all those yesterdays to tomorrow?
Next, we see a series of photos showing Benny and Molly on family trips, playing with their daughter Megan, and celebrating birthdays and “firsts” together.
Won’t you please tell me where to find him?
And that life with the storybook end
Can’t you please tell me where to find him?
Maybe’s he’s found in a fairytale with those dreams of a better day?
The scene shifts to a video of Benny comforting Molly as she wipes away tears. He kisses her forehead gently, reassuring her.
Life on the streets has taught me to see the world through different eyes
What was love your neighbor as yourself, now hides behind the lies
We see Benny and Molly participating in community service projects, helping those less fortunate, with a young Megan (around six or seven) helping them.
You start thinking you can have it all,
The world is yours to take.
The scene shifts to Benny and Molly having a heated argument, their faces clouded with frustration and sadness.
So you fill your cup with emptiness
And promises you make
There’s a shot of Benny Mouse with Jane Mouse, the first time he stepped out of the bounds of his marriage, as well as the chaos that his initial success brought him. We see snap shots of headlines about Benny Mouse and his erratic behavior, slamming the EWA for failing to stick to a schedule.
Bring back those rains and wash my cares away
And dry my eyes with the sun light
And on that star only one small wish I pray
Bring him home again
There’s a clip from last Monday, with Molly embracing Benny, and the single tear rolling down Benny’s face.
Won’t you please tell me where to find him?
And that life with a storybook end
Can’t you please tell me where to find him?
Maybe he’s found in a fairytale with those dreams of a better day?
The screen fades back in to reveal a close-up of a handwritten note, with Molly’s words displayed in elegant script. It reads:
“To my one true love:
Do the right thing tonight…
And come home.”
The camera lingers on the note for a moment longer before fading to black, zooming on the words, “Love, Molly.”
The video fades out, revealing a distraught Benny Mouse seated at his desk, his eyes brimming with tears as he watches the footage on his laptop. The camera slowly zooms out, revealing stacks of legal papers cluttering his desk. The weight of his emotions and the burden of his responsibilities are palpable as the scene transitions seamlessly into the opening sequence of Dynamite.
AEW Director of Operations Sami Zayn marches purposefully down the dimly lit corridor en route to the office he shares with Benny Mouse, his brow furrowed with concentration and concern. Suddenly, his path is obstructed by two towering figures – the Acolytes.
Farooq steps forward, his expression stern yet controlled.
Farooq: Hold up, Sami. We need a word.
Sami halts in his tracks, his face flickering with a bit of shock and surprise by how direct the Acolytes are approaching him.
Sami Zayn: Hey, guys. What’s going on? I’m in a bit of a rush.
Bradshaw leans in, getting oddly close to Zayn. His eyes are narrowed with determination.
Bradshaw: We haven’t forgotten what you promised us, Sami. It’s been weeks since you talked about that tag title shot. We need to make sure you’re still on board with it.
Sami nods, understanding the gravity of the situation as the Acolytes press their point.
Sami Zayn: Listen, I gave you my word. But think about this – is it really smart to push this now? Benny and I, we’re always ahead of the game. Crossing us might not be the best move for your long-term goals.
Farooq steps forward, his voice tinged with skepticism.
Farooq: What about Benny? He’s been acting kinda off lately, even for him. You sure he’s still got his head in the game?
Sami’s expression hardens, his voice firm as he defends his partner.
Sami Zayn: A word to the wise? Don’t ever doubt Benny Mouse. He’s always got a plan, even if he has to write it down from time to time. Underestimating him would be a big mistake.
The Acolytes look concerned, if they may have played their cards too soon.
Sami Zayn: I get it guys, you’re not working for free. You’re not the Establishment. You’re mercenaries. This isn’t just about loyalty; it’s about business. I pay my debts, but tonight – we’ve got something pretty important to tend to.
Sami pats Bradshaw on the back as he continues towards the office, seemingly confident in Benny’s upcoming decision.
At ringside, Arn Anderson and Kevin Kelly welcome us to the 22nd installment of Dynamite! Anderson says it’s obvious we’ve got a lot going on tonight – with what’s being hailed as “Benny’s Decision.” Kevin Kelly says that Sami Zayn seems confident, even if the opening video seemingly moved Benny. Anderson says he saw the stacks of legal papers on Benny’s desk, including one that read, “Statement of Ownership.” The two discuss Molly’s emotional plea last week, as well as the one at the top of the show. Kelly says they’ll surely get to that, but we’ve got a full show tonight with four huge matches, including tonight’s main event with the Knockouts Champion Bianca Belair and the woman who claims she never lost the belt Ronda Rousey teaming up to take on Sasha Banks and Chyna! Anderson says for the first time ever, we’re airing live from Company Headquarters in Stanford, and there’s a sense of unpredictability in the air tonight for Dynamite!
Match #1 | Exhibition Match
Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy Jack Perry & Luchasaurus) vs. The Acclaimed (Max Caster & Anthony Bowens)
The entrance of Jurassic Express cuts off the banter between Arn Anderson and Kevin Kelly, as we’re set for our opening contest between two of the hottest up and coming teams in pro-wrestling. Anderson says we’re in for a treat, and Kelly agrees and adds that All Elite Wrestling is where the new talent in the industry wants to be!
They’re interrupted as the Acclaimed’s music hits, and Platinum Max Caster drops the bars as Bowens lingers in the background.
Max Caster: Yo, listen!
Jurassic Express, you’re a temporary thing
In ten years, you’ll be on Dark Side of the Ring
I’ll slap you like your John Stossell,
Luchasaurus, I’m ‘a turn you into a fossil
The Acclaimed on the mic, I’m a showboat
Jungle Boy stutters every time he cuts a promo
Platinum Max, spittin’ flames
We about to make what Lenny did look tame!
Caster hands the mic to Bowens, who tops it off.
Anthony Bowens: Stanford! The Acclaimed has arrived!
The bell rings, signaling the start of the match, and Jungle Boy and Max Caster step into the ring to kick things off. They circle each other, each looking for an opening. Caster strikes first, attempting a quick takedown, but Jungle Boy counters with a lightning-fast arm drag. Caster scrambles to his feet, and the two engage in a flurry of strikes and counters, showcasing their agility and skill.
Kevin Kelly: Max Caster just did a whole rap trying to get into the heads of Perry and Luchasaurus, but Perry’s looking focus in that ring tonight!
As the match progresses, Luchasaurus and Bowens tag in, slowing the pace a bit and bringing their power and technical abilities to the forefront. Bowens tries to outmaneuver the towering Luchasaurus, but the dinosaur’s strength proves too much, as he delivers thunderous chops and kicks that send Bowens staggering. Bowens manages to regain his footing and fights back with a series of quick strikes, but Luchasaurus responds with a devastating spinebuster that rattles the ring.
Arn Anderson: It’s that intensity from Luchasaurus that makes him so potentially dangerous. The big man hasn’t quite found his footing yet here in AEW, but a win for Jurassic Express tonight could really turn that around.
With both teams evenly matched, the momentum swings back and forth, each team gaining the upper hand only to have it snatched away by their opponents. The crowd is on the edge of their seats, fully invested in every moment of the intense battle unfolding before them.
Kevin Kelly: This match has been an absolute rollercoaster from the get-go, Arn. Both teams are hungry, and they’re leaving it on the mat here in Stanford.
In the final moments of the match, chaos erupts as Bowens distracts the referee, allowing Caster to deliver a low blow to Luchasaurus. The massive dinosaur doubles over in pain, and Caster capitalizes, hitting his Mic Drop finisher on Jungle Boy for the pinfall victory!
Arn Anderson: A despicable move from Bowens and Caster, and the Acclaimed have stolen this one!
Kevin Kelly: You say stole, but honestly, a win is win, and Jurassic Express desperately needed one.
The Acclaimed celebrate their hard-fought win, while Jurassic Express regroups, determined to come back stronger in their next encounter.
Winners: The Acclaimed
Match Time: 10:15
As Jurassic Express attempt to regroup, the camera pans to show Christian Cage sitting in the front row, studiously watching Jungle Boy and taking notes. As Perry and Luchasaurus make their ways up the aisle, Jungle Boy takes note of Cage and looks confused.
SEGMENT TWO
In the High Minded locker room, the group is still buzzing from their epic 90s Movie Marathon at Hulk Hogan’s place. The guys are swapping stories and cracking jokes, reliving the highlights of the night. But amidst the laughter and camaraderie, Midget Hogan seems distant, his attention glued to his phone screen.
Matt Riddle: Hey little bro, who you textin’ over there?
Midget Hogan quickly glances up before mumbling “nobody.”
Kevin Nash: Ah, come on, Midge. Don’t tell me you’re still wrapped around Lady Love’s finger.
Matt Riddle: Which one? I’ve heard she has eleven.
The guys laugh, as Midget Hogan looks annoyed. He quickly looks away, but Hulk Hogan takes notice of his bad mood and offers some advice.
Hulk Hogan: Be careful, Midge. That woman’s caused more trouble than she’s worth. Remember what happened to Kevin Kelly? He became a woman for a few years when he was pining after her!
Midget Hogan fires back, his pride obviously wounded.
Midget Hogan: I really don’t need relationship advice from a guy with a failed marriage.
Riddle attempts to defuse the situation, as now Hulk Hogan is wounded from Midget Hogan’s shot about his divorce with his ex-wife Linda.
Matt Riddle: We’re not just giving you a hard time, little bro. She’s done a number on a number of dudes! We’re talkin’ Big Show, Ric Venon, Saguna…
Midget Hogan cuts him off.
Midget Hogan: I also don’t need relationship advice from the dude who only fucks porn stars.
With that, Midget Hogan gets another text and before opening it, he storms out of the locker room, leaving his teammates in an awkward silence, the party atmosphere deflated.
Backstage, AEW correspondent and the co-host of AEW Dark, Taz, is standing by with the new AEW World Tag Team Champions, Kenny Omega and Hangman Adam Page!
Taz: Gentlemen, congratulations on your big win last week! How are you feeling after capturing the first championships of your careers?
Omega and Page exchange a look, a mix of pride and determination evident in their expressions.
Kenny Omega (grinning): Thanks, Taz. It feels incredible. We’ve put in the work, and now we’re here. But this is just the beginning. We’re ready to be fighting champions, defending these titles against anyone who steps up.
Hangman Adam Page (nodding): Absolutely. The tag division in AEW is stacked with talent, and we’ve been keeping a close eye on everyone. We’re prepared for whatever challenges come our way.
Before they can continue, the atmosphere shifts as former AEW World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles enters the scene.
AJ Styles (sincerely): Hey, guys. Just wanted to be the first to say how proud I am of you both. You guys deserve this moment.
Suddenly, another figure steps into view, drawing everyone’s attention – the former champion who turned on AJ Styles at Genesis, Bryan Danielson!
Danielson (apologetically): Listen, I know there’s been a lot of tension between us lately, and I want to own up to my part in it. I don’t regret what I did to get to the top, but I hope we can move past it. Congrats on the win.
The air becomes tense as Omega, Page, and Styles exchange skeptical glances.
Kenny Omega (coldly): You know, Bryan, you really showed your true colors at Genesis. As much as we despise MJF, we’re glad you’re not the World Champion anymore.
Styles shoots Danielson a disgusted look.
AJ Styles: Actions have consequences, Bryan. You want to go back to having a friendship? That’s off the table.
With that, Omega, Page, and Styles exit, leaving Danielson alone to ponder the fallout of his actions, a heavy silence lingering in the air.
Match #2: Exhibition Match
Sting vs. Sammy Geuvara
As Sting makes his introduction, Darby Allin accompanies him to the ring. Instead of standing by Sting’s side at ringside, Darby takes a seat at the commentary table with Arn Anderson and Kevin Kelly. Sammy Guevara’s music hits, and he enters the arena with a confident swagger, ready for the challenge ahead.
Arn Anderson: Well, it looks like we’ve got company, Kevin!
Darby Allin: I figured I’d watch this one from the best seats in the house. And I know I’m not the only one watching. Brock Lesnar, enough of these sneak attacks. If you want a go at the Icon, he’ll be waiting for you Memorial Day weekend at Retirbution!
Kevin Kelly: You heard here first, folks! Darby Allin has challenged Brock Lesnar on behalf of Sting!
The bell rings, and the match begins. Sting wastes no time taking control, using his experience and power to overpower Guevara. The crowd is firmly behind Sting as he dominates the early stages of the match.
Kevin Kelly: Sting is in complete control here!
Sting continues to punish Guevara with his trademark offense, hitting him with a series of Stinger Splashes and a Scorpion Deathlock. Guevara fights back valiantly, but Sting’s momentum is too much to overcome.
Arn Anderson: Guevara is going to have to dig deep if he wants to turn this around.
After a hard-fought battle, Sting hits Guevara with the Scorpion Death Drop and goes for the cover. The referee counts to three, and the bell rings.
Kevin Kelly: Sting picks up the victory in his first match in AEW!
As Sting celebrates, Darby Allin joins him in the ring. Brock Lesnar’s music hits, and he storms to the ring with a look of rage on his face. Sting and Darby quickly exit the ring and retreat to safety as Lesnar grabs a microphone.
Brock Lesnar: You want Retribution, Sting? You got it! You and me, one-on-one!
The crowd erupts as Lesnar stares down Sting as he heads up the ramp, setting the stage for the first official match made for our third PPV!
Winner: Sting
Match Time: 8:40
SEGMENT THREE
The scene opens with Gunther standing amidst the solemn remnants of a famous German battlefield, the echoes of history reverberating around him.
Gunther: Here, amidst the echoes of valor and sacrifice, I stand. Gunther, the Ring General, the harbinger of destruction and discipline.
He gazes into the distance, his eyes piercing with determination.
Gunther: I have come to All Elite Wrestling, for it is here that true talent thrives. Months I spent as the WWE European Champion, only to realize that Jeff Murrey cared not for the world’s best wrestlers, but for comedic folly.
His voice grows somber as he recounts his past.
Gunther: I cast aside the European Championship, for it was tainted by the folly of wasted opportunity. My career, my legacy, squandered in Jeff Murrey’s pursuit of jest.
He clenches his fists, his resolve evident.
Gunther: AEW saw my worth, drafting me in the eighth round, only to trade me away in 2023 for the likes of Kevin Owens. But it matters not, for the only gift WWE bestowed upon me was the liberation from a foolish moniker that PWI saddled me with.
His eyes narrow with intensity as he speaks of recent events.
Gunther: Last week, I made a statement. Cody Rhodes claims the Television Championship signifies the one who brings viewers to the screen. If that be true, then the title belongs to the Ring General.
He steps forward, his presence commanding.
Gunther: Swerve Strickland may issue his challenges on the B Show, but know this: I am coming for Cody Rhodes and the TV Championship. And when I do, I will show him the true meaning of a nightmare.
Gunther’s words hang heavy in the air as he stares into the distance, his determination unyielding.
The scene opens in an empty parking lot, with Midget Hogan anxiously pacing and checking his phone.
Midget Hogan (to himself): I don’t get it. She said she’d be here… Where is she?
Suddenly, the calm is shattered as the Usos, Jimmy and Jey, emerge from the shadows, launching a surprise attack on Midget Hogan! The two brothers deliver a devastating double superkick, sending Midget Hogan crashing to the ground.
Jimmy Uso: Get him, Uce!
Jey Uso: Let’s teach this fool a lesson he won’t forget!
The Usos swiftly grab Midget Hogan and throw him into the trunk of their car, slamming it shut. The cameras follow as the Usos jump into the driver’s and passenger’s seats, revving the engine.
Jimmy Uso: Let’s roll!
With screeching tires, the Usos speed out of the parking lot, racing through the streets of Stanford. The drone camera captures the chaotic scene as they approach a lake near a busy intersection. Suddenly, we hear the voices of Kevin Kelly and Arn Anderson on commentary, cutting through the scene.
Kevin Kelly: Oh no, they’re heading straight for the lake!
Arn Anderson: This is madness! Someone needs to stop them!
At the last possible moment, the Usos leap out of the car, narrowly avoiding disaster as it flies into the lake below. The sound of the crashing impact echoes through the air as the car immediately plunges into the lake!
Kevin Kelly: My God, they’ve gone too far!
Arn Anderson: We need to get Midget Hogan some help, and fast! This is beyond brutal!
The scene fades to black as the voices of commentary continue to express shock and concern over the shocking turn of events.
Match #3: Exhibition Match
Roman Reigns w/ Paul Heyman vs. Wardlow
The shot opens with Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman walking purposefully towards the gorilla position. Reigns looks focused, ready for his upcoming match against Wardlow, while Heyman appears tense, constantly glancing over his shoulder.
Roman Reigns: Paul, you good?
Paul Heyman: Yeah, yeah, just… you know, anxious to see you dominate out there, Tribal Chief.
As they approach the entrance to the gorilla position, they spot Brock Lesnar walking in their direction. Heyman’s eyes widen in fear as he locks eyes with Lesnar, who stops in his tracks. Lesnar’s gaze shifts to Reigns, the intensity in the air palpable. Heyman breathes a small sigh of relief as Reigns stands between them.
Roman Reigns: Hold up, Brock. We ain’t got no beef with you right now.
Brock Lesnar (with a menacing smile): Not yet, anyway.
Reigns and Lesnar exchange a silent yet intense stare-down, both men radiating power and authority. Heyman, still visibly shaken, watches nervously from the sidelines, grateful for the buffer between himself and Lesnar. The two men continue on their way, as Heyman breathes a sigh of relief.
The camera follows Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns through the gorilla position and out to ringside, where Wardlow awaits. Commentary discuss what happened last week with Roman Reigns stepping up to challenge the AEW World Heavyweight Champion MJF, with MJF saying that Roman hasn’t earned it. Tonight, he’s looking to prove MJF wrong with a victory over his bodyguard!
The bell rings, signaling the start of the match. Roman Reigns and Wardlow circle each other in the ring, their eyes locked in determination. Paul Heyman watches intently from ringside, his expression reflecting a mix of confidence and concern.
Kevin Kelly: I’m dying to talk about that encounter we just saw with Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, but right now we’ve got to focus on this match! Roman Reigns versus Wardlow, a collision of two absolute powerhouses!
Arn Anderson: And for those who are concerned, we have been informed that a pair of medics arrived to the nearby lake within a minute and a half of the shocking incident we just witnessed with the Usos and Midget Hogan. We don’t know much about Midget Hogan’s condition, but we can report that he was breathing when the medics arrived.
Reigns and Wardlow lock up in the center of the ring, each man vying for control. They trade powerful strikes, neither willing to give an inch. The momentum shifts back and forth as they exchange blows.
Arn Anderson: Wardlow is giving it all out here tonight, he is definitely looking to win favor with his employer, the World Heavyweight Champion, MJF.
Reigns gains the upper hand with a well-timed Superman Punch, staggering Wardlow. Seizing the opportunity, Reigns unleashes a flurry of strikes, driving Wardlow back into the corner as Heyman watches on enamored on the outside.
Arn Anderson: When Roman Reigns senses weakness, he pounces, Kevin!
Reigns whips Wardlow into the ropes and follows up with a thunderous Spear. The impact sends Wardlow crashing to the mat, dazed and reeling.
Kevin Kelly: What a Spear by Reigns! He could have broken Wardlow in half!
Reigns pulls Wardlow to his feet and delivers another punishing blow, sending him tumbling out of the ring. Heyman watches with a satisfied smirk as Reigns follows Wardlow to the outside.
Kevin Kelly: Reigns isn’t content with just winning this match. He wants to send a message.
Reigns continues his assault on Wardlow, using the steel steps and the ringside barricade to his advantage. Heyman looks on approvingly as Reigns asserts his dominance. Reigns hits a massive spear, sending Wardlow through the barricade!
Arn Anderson: This is brutal! Reigns is dismantling Wardlow piece by piece!
Kevin Kelly: Wardlow may have bitten off more than he can chew, Kevin. Reigns is operating on a whole other level tonight.
With Wardlow weakened and exhausted, Reigns rolls him back into the ring. He covers Wardlow for the pinfall, and the referee counts to three.
Arn Anderson: A dominant performance from the Tribal Chief. MJF better take notice.
Reigns stands tall in the center of the ring, his hand raised in victory. Heyman joins him inside the ring, a look of satisfaction on his face as they celebrate another decisive win.
SEGMENT FOUR
Arn Anderson: Welcome back to Dynamite, folks! Before we dive into our highly anticipated main event, I’ve got another update on Midget Hogan. He’s currently being treated at the local medical facility, and the good news is he’s alert and conscious. Doctors are still evaluating his condition, but it looks like Midget Hogan will pull through after that heinous assault from the Usos.
Kevin Kelly: That’s a relief, Arn. But let’s not forget the severity of what happened here tonight. The Usos’ actions were downright despicable, and I’m hearing rumblings about a possible suspension for them. And let me tell you, Arn, if that’s the least management does in response to this, it’ll still be too lenient!
Arn Anderson: Absolutely, Kevin. There’s no room for that kind of behavior in AEW. We just witnessed an attempted murder! These superstars need to understand that there are consequences for their actions, and I hope management takes swift and decisive action.
Kevin Kelly: Well said, Arn. But now, let’s shift our focus back to the ring because our main event is just moments away!
Match #4 | Exhibition Match
Bianca Belair & Ronda Rousey vs. Sasha Banks & Chyna
As the bell sounds, we kick things off with Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair circling one another, waiting for the opportune moment to strike.
Kevin Kelly: The history between these four women is deep, and the story is compelling. Ronda Rousey was never pinned for the Knockouts Championship, and Banks held the belt for nearly a year before losing it to Bianca Belair at New Horizons.
Arn Anderson: And let’s not forget about Chyna, she holds a singles win over Rousey, with the stipulation that Rousey cannot challenge for the belt if and when Banks is champion!
Banks initiates with a quick arm drag, but Belair counters with a skillful kip-up, showcasing her agility. They engage in a fierce grapple, bodies twisting and turning as they vie for dominance.
Belair gains the upper hand, driving Banks into the corner with her raw power. However, Banks retaliates with a sharp forearm, staggering the EST.
Rousey and Chyna outside the ring exchange heated glances. Suddenly, Rousey lunges at Chyna, and the two begin to brawl fiercely, their fight spilling all around the ring!
Meanwhile, inside the ring, Belair unleashes a flurry of strikes, each one landing with precision. She whips Banks into the ropes and delivers a powerful spinebuster, the impact reverberating throughout the arena.
Kevin Kelly: I don’t envy the referee here, Arn. Trying to keep up with the action inside the bring and the brawl on the outside!
Belair goes for the cover, but Banks kicks out at the last moment, displaying her resilience. Seizing the opportunity, Banks locks in a tight headlock, applying pressure on Belair’s neck.
Belair struggles to break free, but Banks maintains her hold, wrenching Belair’s neck with determination. Despite Belair’s efforts to power out, Banks transitions smoothly into a modified armbar, torquing Belair’s arm at an unnatural angle.
Belair grits her teeth, refusing to submit as Banks continues to apply pressure. With a burst of adrenaline, Belair summons her strength and manages to counter, rolling through and hoisting Banks up onto her shoulders.
With a thunderous slam, Belair executes a spine-jarring powerbomb, sending Banks crashing to the canvas. But before Belair can capitalize, Chyna re-enters the ring, blindsiding Belair with a devastating clothesline. Rousey isn’t far behind, as she tackles Chyna and they topple to the outside!
In the midst of the altercation, Knockouts referee Kenzie is knocked out. Sasha Banks uses this opportunity to drill the Knockouts Champion with the title, lacerating her deeply on her forehead! As the crowd boos, Chyna hits the pedigree on Rousey and sends her through the announce table. She rolls into the ring and revives Kenzie.
Bianca Belair is desperate, clinging to life as Banks locks her in the Bank Statement! As Kenzie comes to, Banks latches the hold on even tighter, blood pouring from the champ’s face! Suddenly, Bianca goes lifeless, and Kenzie is forced to stop the match!
Winner via stoppage: Sasha Banks & Chyna
Match Time: 22:05
Back at ringside, Molly Mouse, Rob Amick, and The Establishment (Recon & Sniper) are in the ring, as Arn Anderson and Kevin Kelly say it’s finally time for Benny’s decision. They say its been an emotional week, from Molly’s appeal, to Benny’s letter to the press, and to the opening video this evening – Benny Mouse has had a lot to think about. Everyone in the ring looks nervous, their expressions tense with anticipation.
Suddenly, the arena erupts with the opening notes of “Metalingus,” heralding the entrance of BWM Inc. Chairman Benny Mouse, accompanied by AEW Director of Operations Sami Zayn. Anderson notes on commentary that Zayn appears just as nervous as everyone else in the ring!
As Benny grabs a microphone, he exchanges a brief embrace with Molly, before acknowledging Amick and the Establishment’s presence and mouthing that he’s glad they could make it for this. Sammy is looking down at his feet the entire time.
Benny Mouse: You know, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately. And let me tell you, it’s been quite the journey. Last week, Molly put things into perspective for me. And Molly, I’ll never be able to tell you how thankful I was for your clarity.
Before anyone can react, Sami Zayn suddenly delivers a devastating Helluva Kick to Rob Amick, sending him sprawling to the outside. The Acolytes emerge from the crowd and decimate the Establishment as Benny Mouse smirks like an evil genius and Molly looks horrified and surrounded. The Acolytes suddenly take hold of Molly by her arms, as Benny Mouse gets in her face with the microphone.
Benny Mouse’s entire demeanor has shifted a complete 180 degrees, his tone growing sharper as he directs his attention towards Molly, his eyes ablaze with intensity.
Benny Mouse: And you, my dear Molly. You’ve been ever so concerned about my well-being, haven’t you? But let’s be honest here – your concern, it’s not genuine. It’s a façade, a charade to hide your true intentions. Do you think I’m stupid?
Molly’s expression continues to show her horror, as she tries desperately to escape the clutches of the Acolytes. Benny’s words grow increasingly venomous as he launches into a scathing tirade, his voice dripping with contempt.
Benny Mouse: Uou think you can play me for a fool, Molly? You think you can manipulate me into relinquishing control? Well, I’m onto you, and I won’t be deceived. We’ve been divorced for over a decade, and now you want me to come home?? Give me a fucking break you bitch!
Molly’s eyes widen in shock as she struggles against the grip of the Acolytes, her voice trembling with emotion.
Benny Mouse: You are just as bad as the rest of them. No, actually, Molly, you’re worse. Because you tried to manipulate my genuine feelings for you and our daughter. I can’t trust you, I can’t trust my brothers, I can’t trust Jeff Murrey or Ted Brown, or anyone else! The only person who cares about me is in this ring, and his name is Sami Zayn! Zayn told me about you, Molly, and what you were doing.
Benny is a mere inches away from Molly as he screams at her, spit flying out of his mouth as he talks and landing on Molly. Suddenly, the crowd gasps as Benny Mouse slaps Molly right in the face!
Just as the tension reaches its breaking point, “Voices” by Disturbed reverberates through the arena, signaling the arrival of Master Splinter! The crowd’s anticipation mounts as Splinter steps into the spotlight, his presence commanding attention.
Splinter: If I were you Benny, I’d stop what you’re doing right now and pay attention!
Benny suddenly snaps out of it and acknowledges Splinter’s presence, before he was too enthralled in his feelings of rage towards Molly to even notice Splinter had came out.
Splinter: I just came from the Board of Directors, and I’ve been informed that they have finally reached the conclusion of their investigation! And Benny, next week, on Dynamite, the results of that investigation will be made public! And if the Board couldn’t find cause to dismiss you before, I’m sure you just gave it to them!
Suddenly, the weight of Benny’s actions begin to hit him, as he orders the Acolytes to let go of Molly. Molly quickly runs out of the ring, sobbing, as she rushes to seek solace with Splinter, the weight of the moment evident in her expression.
In the center of the ring, the camera focuses on Benny Mouse’s face as the momentary look of regret he just expressed is quickly replaced by a smirk spanning from cheek to cheek. He begins to laugh like a maniac, as he revels in the chaos he has sown. His laugh is so crazy that even Sami Zayn looks concerned.
The tension in the arena remains palpable as the scene fades to black, leaving the audience on the edge of their seats for next week, as this saga finally comes to a resolution!
