Mark Briscoe successfully defended the Ring of Honor World Championship against Chris Jericho at AEW WrestleDream on October 12. Tonight, he will be putting his title on the line against him once again tonight, but unlike their last match, this time it will be in a Ladder War. Tensions between Mark and Jericho have meteorically risen over the course of the past few weeks, with the two coming face-to-face in a handful of verbal and physical confrontations.
Sammy Guevara will be making his return to action on "Dynamite" for the first time since coming up short against Ricochet on the September 11 edition of the show as he squares off with Shelton Benjamin. Benjamin emerged victorious in his first ever match in AEW last week when he defeated Lio Rush as his ally MVP watched on from ringside and sent a message to Swerve Strickland following the match.
After unsuccessfully challenging Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship during last week's edition of "Dynamite", Queen Aminata looks to redeem herself tonight as she goes one-on-one with Mone's ally Kamille. Kamille is currently undefeated in AEW, having defeated the likes of Robyn Renegade, Zoey Lynn, Brittany Jade, Clara Carter, and Jazmyne Hao.
Private Party will be joining forces to go head-to-head with The Elite's Matthew Jackson, Nicholas Jackson, and Jack Perry. Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy have had their fair share of issues with The Young Bucks over the course of the last few weeks and were unsuccessful in challenging them for the AEW World Tag Team Championship at WrestleDream while Garcia has been looking to capture some gold of his own.
Additionally, AEW World Champion Jon Moxley will be appearing after he and his allies Marina Shafir and AEW World Trios Champions Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli, and PAC launched a series of attacks on Orange Cassidy, Top Flight, Action Andretti, and Dark Order throughout the course of last week's show. House of Black also look to score another win following their win against Chris Nastyy, Olumide, and Alpha Zo this past Saturday on "AEW Collision" as they face opponents who have yet to be named, and Kyle Fletcher is set to speak on tonight's show following the press conference he and his Don Callis Family stablemates Konosuke Takeshita, Brian Cage, Lance Archer, and Don Callis held last week.
We are live! Excalibur and "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard greets audiences at home as Tony Schiavone introduces "Hangman" Adam Page. Page then makes his way down to the ring.
We Hear From Adam Page
Schiavone addresses Page's recent loss to Jay White at WrestleDream and their confrontation last week. Page says a few weeks ago, he attacked Austin Gunn and still doubts that he remembers his own brother's name. Colten Gunn then blindsides Page from behind and runs him over with a clothesline, then tosses him over the timekeeper's table and dumps him back in the ring.
Page looks to choke Colten out with his belt, but White and Juice Robinson run down to the ring to provide Colten with a hand. White rains down right hands on Page and looks to lash him with his belt, but Page rolls out of the ring before he can. Page retreats, and White asks where he's going. He tells Page that he can't run or hide from him, and says he'll always have his number. He says Page can try to cover his shortcomings with whatever weapons he chooses, but when the bell rings, he'll never be on the measure of him. He says if Page isn't down with that, then he has two words for him.
Sammy Guevara then makes his way out to the ring. MVP and Shelton Benjamin follow.

Tony Schiavone then introduces Kyle Fletcher and Don Callis, and the pair make their way out to the ring.
We Hear From Kyle Fletcher
Callis says Fletcher has something to say and hands the mic over to him. Fletcher says fans can boo him all they want, but the only person he wants to talk to is Will Ospreay. He says it's been 11 days since he cost Ospreay his AEW International Championship at WrestleDream and says fans are just as much to blame for him betraying Ospreay as Ospreay himself is. He says when Ospreay got to AEW, instead of calling him "the next big thing", they started calling him "the next Will Ospreay". He says he's bigger, stronger, faster, and better than Ospreay. He addresses when Kenny Omega left New Japan Pro-Wrestling and Ospreay stepped up, everyone said that he would never be able to fill Omega's shoes and yet, he did. He says he saw the writing on the wall and knew what he had to do to get out of Ospreay's shadow.
Fletcher says Callis helped him realize that Ospreay never wanted him to see his full potential in order to ensure that he would never surpass him. He demands that Ospreay will face him in the ring last week ignoring doctor's orders and his family's pleas. Callis then hands Fletcher a pair of hair clippers, and Fletcher shaves his head as a means of showing that he doesn't want to look like Ospreay any longer and is nothing like him.
Back from the break, we see MVP and Shelton Benjamin approach Ricochet as he speaks with Renee Paquette. MVP hands Ricochet his business card.

Adam Cole then makes his way out to the ring.
We Hear From Adam Cole
Cole asks who's ready for storytime with him, but Roderick Strong, Mike Bennett, and Matt Taven interrupt him. Strong says he knows Cole had to get some things off his chest about MJF last week, but everything already knew everything about MJF that Cole had said. Bennett says he knows that in MJF's egotistical brain, he thinks that the Undisputed Kingdom was formed for him. Bennett says they started the group together and they'll end it together. Taven reiterates Bennett's point and says some of his favorite moments of his career have been when they're all together.
Strong says he's proud of Cole for recovering from injury and coming back to take out MJF with Strong, Bennett, and Taven. He says that he wants MJF first, and Cole says Strong is right. He says he thinks that they should finish things tonight, and calls MJF down to the ring.
