The fans chant for Ospreay, who says Danielson is the bar around here, and an inspiration. Ospreay thanks Danielson for everything he’s done in wrestling.
BUT.
You, ya cheeky little slag, Danielson. You interrupted Ospreay on Dynamite, and maybe, just maybe, Danielson wants to ask Ospreay something. Danielson that’s half right, he’s got something he wants to ask Ospreay, and something he wants to say to him. Firstly, welcome to AEW! Danielson saw the match with Takeshita at Revolution, and not only did he win, but it’s one of the best matches Danielson’s ever seen. Danielson also listened to the media scrum, where Ospreay says he wants to prove he’s the best wrestler in the world. Danielson wants to give Ospreay the chance to prove it. Danielson vs. Ospreay at AEW Dynasty on April 21st?

Tony Schiavone welcomes FTR to the ring. Cash says they’re going to dust themselves off and move forward, especially since this year marks their 10th year as a team. There’s an AEW World Tag Team Title Tournament around the corner, and FTR are throwing their names in the hat. Dax says Collision has been built on the back of tag team wrestling, and it would be easy to say FTR are firing on all cylinders… but they’re not. Dax doesn’t even know if FTR should be in the tournament, but they’re going to give every ounce of energy they’ve got. FTR wants to be the first ever three-time world tag team champs… Top Guys… out!
The Infantry’s music hit. Interesting. The most handsome, flyest, coolest, most handsome tag team, there is. “The Captain” Shawn Dean. “Bad News and Tattoos” Carlie Bravo. The cap don’t cap, baby. Dean says he respects everything FTR has done in AEW, and, may the best team win. Dean says they’re coming for both of FTR’s spots, and they’re going to give AEW a… revival. Oh yeahhhh. Dax says that’s cute, but The Revival is dead, and if FTR meets The Infantry in the tournament, then they will be too.
