While Cutler was on the phone, Tony Schiavone knocked on the door to interview Matt on Dynamite. This was the promo that aired on Dynamite where Matt destroyed Tony’s phone. 

After Schiavone left, Matt destroyed Cutler’s computer, ruining the video that Cutler was putting together. 

The open ran nearly six minutes, as Matt dropped elbows on the computer and hit it with superkicks.

Daniels said he got attacked and injured and had to watch SCU win the Tag titles without him. Daniels said he hasn’t felt elite in a long time and has thought about retiring. Daniels fought back tears as he said that he wants to write his own ending to his story. He said he has a path to walk but he doesn’t know where it leads. He said this is not his best day, but it’s not his last day. Not yet. 
  • Dark Order were in their lair. They were singing Cody’s entrance song. Mr. Brodie Lee entered and asked where Alex Reynolds was. Silver said that he was at his father’s bris.
