BRITT BAKER CHALLENGES MERCEDES MONE FOR ALL IN

- The returning Britt Baker made her intentions very clear last night on Dynamite and challenged Mercedes Mone at the upcoming All In pay-per-view in Wembley. Baker told Mone that she wrestled at the first All In in Chicago and then went all in by becoming the first female to sign for AEW. She added that she also wrestled at All In last year while Mone looked like a broken bitch with a broken leg in the stands. "So I want to face you at All In," Baker said. Mone shoved her hand in Baker's face and told her that she's never broke, she stays rich, and since the double champion, there's a long list of wrestlers that want her so she better get in the back of the line, bitch. DMD got in Mone's face and said, "Bitch, what line?" as she looked behind her. Mone then told her that there's a price to pay if you mess with Mercedes Mone and held her two titles above her head to end the segment. Earlier in the segment, Baker revealed she was admitted to a hospital for a week after suffering from spins and blurry vision and the entire right side of her body stopped working, with doctors telling her she suffered a mini stroke.

HANGMAN PAGE RETURNS ON DYNAMITE

- Hangman Page made his return to AEW as the wildcard pick in the Owen Hart Cup tournament, defeating Jeff Jarrett to advance to the next round. Page has been off AEW television since Revolution and his last match came in a three-way match against Swerve Strickland and Samoa Joe for the AEW World title. There were rumors leading up to the show that Page might not make it to the pay-per-view due to some personal issues, but Page wrestled that show and then took a hiatus, with The Young Bucks announcing that he was being suspended from The Elite. Speaking of the Bucks, Matthew and Nicholas Jackson offered Page the fifth spot on their team for Blood & Guts but Page refused. Page now wrestles Jay White on Saturday at Collision in the semi final match of the tournament.

DANIELSON AND NIGHTINGALE ADVANCE TO FINALS

- Bryan Danielson reached the final of the Owen Hart Cup tournament after he defeated PAC in the opening match of Dynamite last night. Danielson will now face the winner of Hangman Page vs Jay White on next week's episode live from Calgary. He has often said that since his in-ring career is winding down, this is the last chance at getting a shot at the AEW World title. Willow Nightingale also advanced to the final after she beat her former friend Kris Statlander in last night's semi final. She now faces the winner of Mariah May vs Hikaru Shida which takes place on Rampage this Friday. Nightingale won last year's Owen Hart Cup tournament but the stakes are higher this year with an AEW Women's title shot on the line in London.

MARK BRISCOE JOINS TEAM AEW FOR BLOOD & GUTS MATCH

- ROH champion Mark Briscoe is the first member of Team AEW in the upcoming Blood & Guts match against The Elite. Cutting a promo on Dynamite last night, Briscoe said it's Shark Week and when he thinks of that, he thinks of blood, of blood and guts, and in three weeks time from Nashville, it's Blood & Guts with Team AEW vs The Elite, and he was entering the match as part of Team AEW. He is the first of five who will be on the team, with The Elite still hunting for their fifth and final member. Last night, The Elite tried to get Hangman Page back on board after they suspended him a few months ago, but Page didn't want any of it. This is the fourth edition of Blood & Guts, a concept similar to WarGames which was introduced in 2021.

MERCEDES MONE TALKS ENCOUNTER WITH SHANE MCMAHON

- In her newsletter this week, double champ Mercedes Mone detailed her encounter with Shane McMahon at an airport after Forbidden Door. News broke out earlier this week about the meeting between the two, which was unplanned, and both were going to different destinations from the same airport. "After it all, by only the fates aligned – I walked into the airport, was in line by the bagel shop when I suddenly looked up, and there he was, just as surprised as I was," Mone wrote. "My first day being a double title holder and the first wrestler and former WWE Superstar I see is McMahon...come on, if that isn’t the universe working in divine timing, I don’t know what else it could be!" Mone said that she always loved Shane and when the two locked eyes, both of them looked at each other as if saying, 'is that you!?' "Our faces lit up as we got to talking a bit and before he boarded his flight, he gave me his number...the rest as they say history or maybe a mystery!" The encounter comes amidst rumors that McMahon reached out to some AEW stars who he knows to gauge interest about a possible run with the company as a performer. AEW President Tony Khan said that he never met Shane McMahon in his life but he respects him both as a performer and as an executive, adding that the door is always open for him to come to AEW.

WRESTLEMANIA XL: BEHIND THE CURTAIN DOC NOW OUT

- The long awaited WrestleMania XL: Behind the Curtain documentary was finally released in its entirety last night on WWE's YouTube channel. The documentary covers the road leading up to WrestleMania XL and the decisions that had to be taken following the fans' backlash when Cody Rhodes was taken out of the main event so The Rock could headline with Roman Reigns. In a rare move, WWE decided to pivot and give the fans actually what they want, with The Rock saying that he did not like the fans being upset, which "bugged the shit" out of him, and it was his choice to turn it around and push for Cody vs Roman instead while he turned heel. The one-hour documentary already has over half a million views at time of this writing and you can see it at
