Lexy Nair was backstage to interview the Hardys, Brother Zay, and “All Ego” Ethan Page!
Matt Hardy said it’d be the Hardys against the Gunns on Dynamite! “Maybe they forgot who we are. We are the Hardys. We are legitimately in the conversation for the greatest of all time.”

Jay Lethal begged Aubrey to hit him, knowing full well that Aubrey would be disqualified if she did. Satnam Singh jumped on the apron. Ref Paul Turner turned around to stop Satnam’s interference, and as Turner had his back turned, Aubrey smashed the guitar over Lethal’s head!
Karen Jarrett jumped back into the fray and tried to put the Stroke on Aubrey. Aubrey countered with the figure four leglock. Karen Jarrett quickly tapped out!
“This is a travesty! How can Aubrey Edwards use the guitar to get the win? She’s going against everything in the referee’s code!” said Chris Jericho.
Lexy Nair was backstage with Taya Valkyrie!
Taya: “I feel amazing! One more win! Winning again! Kris Statlander, you’re going to ask me about the new TBS Champion. Haven’t we got enough of her?”
TBS Champ Kris Statlander interrupted!
Kris: “Taya, don’t think I don’t see you watching me week after week. I’ve got something you want but it’s not my fault that Jade put out the Open Challenge.”
Taya: “The Open Challenge!? I broke her down! I’m the one that allowed you to come in here like that. You cheated me. You took away all the attention from me. I’m the one that did all the work. You were at home for God knows how long, nursing yourself back, only to come in here and take my spot!”
Kris: “Well, if you want it so bad, then I’m going to defend this, anytime, anywhere. I’ll put out the challenge next week if you want it so bad. You know where to find me. Come and get it, Taya!”
Taya: “Ew, I’m shaking in my fur boots. I’ll see you when I see you!”
