DEVELOPMENTS

• Kenny Omega disposes of Bad Dude Tito with the One Winged Angel, and he has a mic after the opener. He says a week ago, he asked himself what the next plan of action is to climb back to the top. It came to him: if he couldn't make it in time for the Owen, but Zack Sabre Jr. needed an opponent for Forbidden Door, and an opponent he will have. Kenny's still got his eyes set on MJF and the World title.
• The National Champion MARK DAVIS is backstage with KYLE FLETCHER. Kyle says the reason Mark Davis isn't in the final of the Owen is solely that of Konosuke Takeshita. Fletcher compares Takeshita to a jealous ex-girlfriend, and he plans on taking a measure of revenge by bringing the International title back to the Don Callis Family. KAZUCHIKA OKADA is here, and he agrees. They shake on it. Davis says nothing this promo.
• Hikaru Shida has forgotten how to do a stretch muffler but Zayda Steel taps out anyway. She continues to attack Steel after the bell, and Christopher Daniels has to get between them. Mike Posey is not really helping very much.
• THE OPPS are backstage with Lexy Nair. Bowens cuts a promo about how it's Pride of Professional Wrestling Month and how Joe has told him to choose violence, and ends with his new standing ovation gimmick. This makes Hook really mad and he basically tells him to shut the fuck up because he's the new kid. Bowens is confused by this because Hook's been an asshole lately and Hook doesn't really give him much. Hook says The Opps aren't about applause but about violence which... kind of still lines up with what Bowens was saying but I don't really have much faith in Hook's listening comprehension. He tells Lexy to talk to him instead of anyone else when she talks to The Opps.
• Dezmond Xavier has a mic after disposing of the Atlas Boys. They put over MYRON REED, their teammate who's got a match for the TNT Championship due up next.
• Tony Schiavone tells us out of the break in this TNT title match that on Dynamite Wednesday, MJF and Mark Briscoe will pick their teams for the main event steel cage match at Forbidden Door, then those teams will compete in a traditional 12-man tag team match later on in the show.
• Kevin survives a rapid-fire exchange with Myron and wins with the Crash Landing to retain the title.
• DIVINE DOMINION video package. They're still looking for worthy challengers to their championships. 
• MAYA WORLD is out in the parking lot. She says on Sunday at 3 AM, she woke up to the news that her big brother, who introduced her to wrestling, had passed away. Tony Khan and AEW, she says, told her to take time off, but she refused because she felt she needed to be with her second family. After upsetting Skye Blue, she faces down Athena, who, she says, taught her everything that she knows: "if everything I know that you taught me comes back to bite you in the ass, that's on you." Maya's well aware of the improbability of her having this opportunity to begin with, and she doesn't intend to take it for granted.
• ATHENA is backstage and she hasn't taken kindly to the words from Maya. She expresses condolences for Maya's loss, but she's also feeling pretty sorry for herself. She's never made it out of the second round of the Owen. "Just because I taught you everything that you know... doesn't mean I taught you everything I know."
• Athena keeps attacking Tiara James after submitting her to the Koji Clutch, prompting Maya to run out and make the save. Athena powders, and leaves up the ramp, before suddenly running back out and now attacking Maya. Mike Posey is exactly zero help. That is now the second time tonight he has allowed this to happen.
• THE DEMAND are backstage. Ricochet wants Takeshita and the International title.
• David Finlay hits Matt Jackson with the shillelagh from the floor and Clark spears him, but Nick is able to break up the pin. He handles them both for a moment, but Clark gets him to the apron and spears him through the ropes. The Dogs hit Full Clip on Matt Jackson to pick up the win.
• THE CONGLOMERATION--Kyle, Roddy, and Big Tom--are backstage and they're looking forward to the main event cage match at Forbidden Door. They're intent on securing Mark Briscoe's shot at the world title.
• Tony Schiavone is trying to formally apologize to Stardom for Thekla's actions last week. THEKLA is now here and cuts him off and basically tells him to shut the fuck up. This crowd is eating this up, so maybe Stardom are the heels in this storyline. Thekla wants Stardom's "best girl" for a shot at the AEW Women's World title at Forbidden Door, and she calls out Taro Okada--the president of Stardom who she's publicly beefed with in the past--and says she'll buy him a first-class ticket to sit in the front row at Forbidden Door to see the monster he created.
• The BANG BANG GANG are backstage. Austin Gunn calls out The Dogs, and declares that he spent the $200,000 they won as a team months ago on property in a strip mall and registered an LLC. Colten Gunn is just now finding all of this information out, and supposes that it explains why at home he's kept receiving mail referencing "Juice Robinson's Super Affordable Quick & Easy Kinda Reliable Spay & Neuter Center for Lost Dogs."
• Juice, who was wearing shades, takes them off to reveal a second pair of glasses underneath and says that he handles all the procedures himself. "So guess what, Dogs? After you get snipped, and you're on the mends, you're both gonna get a cute little cone! Only problem with the cone is everyone knows you can't clean yourself." Juice now takes off the second pair of glasses. "But that's alright, cuz you can clean one another... and when Gabe comes back, you're gonna have to clean him, because he's gonna get the first appointment!!!!"
• Persephone's staggered after Julia repeatedly focuses on her eyes. Julia has the mist prepped but Persephone quite literally slaps it out of her mouth, splattering it across the canvas. Persephone hits the Razor's Edge to win the match and advances to Survival of the Fittest.
• THEKLA is backstage with Lexy Nair. We find out she'll be facing Starlight Kid at Forbidden Door. Thekla says she knows everything about her, and despises everything about her. She wants to make sure Starlight Kid's first time in AEW is her last. "The blood of Stardom will be on your hands."
• SPEEDBALL MIKE BAILEY was backstage earlier tonight. They say earlier they watched their former friend Kevin Knight defend the TNT title alone. They intend to start taking out every member of the Don Callis Family one by one. Kevin Knight comes out with Jake Something and gets on comms. It's a matchup of former DEADLOCK Pro Wrestling tag champions tonight.
• The Death Riders are coming in from outside the arena to head into this street fight, but they're jumped from behind on the stairs by STP and we're underway about as far from the ring as you can possibly be. I believe the bell rings but there's no audio from inside the arena besides comms.
• Carlie and Shawn bury Claudio under a stack of metal railings as the rest of the fight makes its way inside the building. Mox is focusing primarily on Shane and Danny is matched up predominantly with Lee.
• Everyone is brawling on the floor (minus Claudio) and they cut to the ring and Danny and Lee are just having an actual wrestling match. Lee and PAC proceed to just do rope-running drills for like 30 seconds. 
• Mox gets singled out in the ring by Shane, Carlie, and Shawn. Shane produces brass knuckles and clocks Jon in the head but they don't seem intent on pinning him and ending this as they continue to beat him down. Mox is busted open as the Infantry pick him back up for a second blow when Claudio suddenly rushes the ring and clears house. He manages to get a vertical suplex off on Taylor.
• Claudio now charges Dean in the corner, but Trish gets in his way and dares him to hit her before chopping him. Claudio responds by dramatically removing his lucha mask as if to reveal that he was, in fact, Claudio. I'm not sure how it could have been anyone else. Shane bodies Claudio and hits the ropes but Claudio double legs him and tries to go for the Giant Swing. Trish chops Claudio in the back twice before selling her hand and Claudio slowly turns around. Trish chops him again before he cuts her off. She starts trying to beg off when Marina stomps her calf and basically commands Claudio to give her the swing. Claudio's initially reluctant to do it but eventually says fuck it and gets it into motion. Marina dropkicks Trish out of it and she and Claudio dap up.
• Carlie Bravo commandeers a camera, walking over to Nigel McGuinness at commentary and throwing his water cup in his face. Lee tries to get between them when Danny suddenly charges Lee. Lee sidesteps this and Nigel gets clobbered by a running elbow. Danny's body language screams "ah, oh well" in response to this.
• Mox, face still covered in blood, is attacking Lee over by the barricade. A child shouts "Moxley! There's children over here!" as Mox is fishhooking him. Jon's response is "hey, you gotta grow up sometime," and he resumes punching Lee in the head.
• Out of break, Marina has apparently fallen victim to the Bronco Bustin' Cap'n. Carlie, Trish, and Shane are on the floor all yelling at the camera at the same time as behind them, Danny drags Marina out of the corner while Mox and Claudio set up a table in the ring. Shawn, who is still up on the middle turnbuckle, is also yelling at the camera when Claudio walks underneath him. Their eyes meet and Shawn starts begging for his life. None of the other three notice this, including Trish, who is now holding up money in front of her face. Shawn is screaming to get their attention before eating the stiffest powerbomb ever through the table which explodes. The other three are silenced by this and slowly turn back around.
• PAC hits an Orihara moonsault onto Bravo and Taylor. Danny and Lee are now once again having a match in the ring as Trish clubs Marina in the gut with what appears to be the side of a rollerskate. Danny tries a Dragon Screw on Lee who stays put and tries to take an armbar; Garcia instead stacks up Moriarty and gets a 2 count. That is the first pin attempt this match.
• The Death Riders run a train on Moriarty in the corner before a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker from Claudio and a dropkick from PAC to clear the ring. They proceed to do their ring around the rosie taunt, which Marina offers Mox to join. He evidently does not seem particularly interested and instead does a double bicep taunt. STP promptly charge the ring and clear house.
• Shawn has set PAC up on a table at ringside as Trish hits a brainbuster on Marina on the ramp. Shawn proceeds to dive onto PAC from a platform in the crowd; the table only really half breaks and they both just die. Claudio is now attempting to hit some kind of powerbomb on Shane onto the ring stairs, which have been set up near commentary. He's intercepted by Lee who locks in an octopus stretch. Claudio responds to this by walking up the steps, onto the barricade, and hitting an Air Raid Crash through the timekeeper's table.
• Danny turns Carlie inside out with a lariat in the ring. He picks him up for a piledriver but dumps him when CHRISTYAN XO walks out on the ramp and displays to Garcia her shirt which reads "DEATH RIDE DEEZ NUTS." The way Daniel decides that he's going to respond to this is by acting like he's going to do his hip dance taunt thing. He promptly gets cut off by Bravo taking a rear waistlock.
• Carlie gets the brass knuckles back from Christyan and wipes Danny out with them. She then gives him a metal chair from under the ring; he sets it up and calls Shawn to get in the ring with him, where they hit dueling curbstomps on Danny onto the chair. Moxley breaks the ensuing cover up with a basement dropkick and double DDTs Carlie and Shawn.
• Moxley has now produced an entire spare turnbuckle from underneath the ring, and I guess he intends to bash Shawn's fucking head in with it. Shane Taylor cuts him off and beats him down. Danny is busted open nasty style from the curbstomps. A "Cleveland sucks" chant has now broken out in the arena. With the assistance of The Infantry, Shane puts Moxley through a table next to commentary.
• STP now turn their attention on Marina, who is isolated in the ring. She is also bleeding from the head. STP minus Lee have surrounded Marina in the ring, who proceeds to attack all three men before Trish Adora takes her fucking head off with Lariat Tubman. Carlie and Shane are now ripping Marina's boots and socks off her feet as Trish retrieves a bag of what is revealed to be plastic army men. Shawn has a bag of his own; this one has thumbtacks and glass shards. All three of The Infantry pick up Marina and drop her feet-first into the pile of sharp objects; Marina responds to this by grinding her feet into them and booting Trish in the head; Claudio double lines Shawn and Carlie, sending them to the floor, before press slamming PAC onto them and Shane.
• Lee dumps Claudio over the top, then he and Danny once again go back to having a match. Moriarty locks in a Border City Stretch but Danny is able to grab a rogue shard of glass and lacerates Lee's hand with it to force him to break his grip. Danny takes over and locks in the Dragontamer. Shane Taylor comes in and takes Danny's head off; Marina jumps onto him jockey-style and Shane dumps her but gets met with an Ace Crusher from Moxley.
• Moxley's decided this one's over. All four men in the Death Riders run a train on Shane in the corner and PAC levels him with his rebound lariat. Moxley hits Paradigm Shift and covers Taylor to win the match.
