The open to tonight’s Dynamite saw Elite come out as the mystery joker opponent in the Owen Hart Foundation men’s tournament, facing Samoa Joe. The two had a back and forth match, with Joe picking up the win after the muscle buster. With the win, Joe advances to the semifinals of the tournament, where he will meet the winner of the Jeff Hardy/Adam Cole match set to take place later on Dynamite.

He is also scheduled to make his GCW debut at Downward Spiral on May 28, where he will be going under the name Johnny Game Changer.
