It was AEW Dynamite featuring Mercedes Mone officially becoming All Elite, Samoa Joe defending the World Title against Wardlow, and more.

This episode took place at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. The announcers were Excalibur, Taz and Tony Schiavone.

At the start of AEW Dynamite in Boston, a new theme song played where the letters “CEO” were shouted repeatedly and that led to Mercedes Mone (fka Sasha Banks in WWE) making her official AEW debut.

Mone: “Boston…I’m home.” Mone thanked the fans for having her back these past two years. Mone thanked the fans for giving her the courage and strength to be there for all of her lows, highs, milestones and moments. Mone told the fans that she loved them. Mone said if you only knew how much tonight means to her and how much wrestling means to her. Mone spoke about how wrestling has changed and saved her life. She said it has given her hope and to dream and people like Eddie Guerrero made her believe that she can do this one day too. There were “Eddie” chants.

As she continued, Mone said her dreams made her a leader of a revolution and main event a pay-per-view in this very building. Mone said she had a dream at 10 years old, then at 13 years old she dropped out of school to take care of her brother and she told her brother Joshua that she loved him. Mone said that she trained at Chaotic Wrestling in Massachusetts and had a dream to become the greatest women’s wrestler of all time. Mone said if she can do it then you can do it too.

The promo continued with Mone saying it was time to get to business. Mone said she needed to be here and she wanted to be here. Mone talked about how AEW is the only place where this revolution can be global while saying she’s going to make it happen. Mone said that she can’t wait to tear it up with everybody in the locker room.

That led to Mone mentioning Riho and Willow Nightingale having a match later in the show. Mone said that she has unfinished with Willow. Mone said that right now, Mercedes Mone is All Elite and the graphic was shown on screen. Mone invited the fans to say hello to your new CEO. Mone took off her jacket to reveal an interesting white/gold outfit while her “CEO” song played as the fans chanted along with it.

The Young Bucks and Kazuchika Okada were interviewed by Alex Marvez somewhere backstage. Marvez tried to talk to Okada, but Nicholas berated Alex. Matthew said they’ve had 14 years of friendship with Okada while claiming there were $14 million other reasons to join The Elite. Okada said they are coming for Eddie, Penta & Pac. Okada told Alex to say happy birthday to Matthew and Okada told Alex to sing it, so Alex sang it as the show went to break.

Ospreay said that he can respect the man opposite him, but the moment he walks into the ring, it’s your life or his and Will doesn’t plan on dying.
