Tonight, it’s the last Dynamite before Sunday’s inaugural AEW Redemption! Who will get the last word before their match? What will fill up the pre-show? Will we see Hangman Page again? I have no reason to think that last one, but I needed a third thing, and also it’s a little weird that he showed back up on an episode of Collision and then went right back to being away.
Dynamite opens with Will Ospreay hyping up his trios match tonight alongside Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley. He hypes up how he and Kenny are undefeated as a team, and tells Kenny that he can lean on him if he needs to. Kenny says Ospreay can lean on him if he needs to. Mox walks in and sarcastically remarks, “There’s no tension in this room.”

Willow says it’s nice to see Mick, and it’s also nice to see Thekla without it being a sneak attack. She says only one match stands between her and her dream. Thekla says Willow’s personality is a facade, and she’ll tear it down at Redemption. Willow calls that projection, and says that Thekla’s act is bravado to cover up insecurity. They almost come to blows, Mick Foley gets between them, and says he sees a lot of himself in Willow because he also found a way to keep smiling. Willow says that Mick Foley may be a happy person by nature, but he was willing to do sick things to get the job done, and so is she. She says that she and Thekla are more alike than Thekla realizes. Thekla challenges Willow to smile after what she does to her at Redemption. Then she slaps her, and in the ensuing scuffle hits her with the microphone. She rolls Willow in the ring, takes her belt off, and enters the ring herself, only for Willow to catch her with a Pounce.
