00:01Omega!
00:02One-winged angel!
00:05One, two, three!
00:10A crucial victory for Kenny Omega on numerous levels.
00:17So, with this attempt at becoming champion again, am I trying to prove something?
00:28Yeah.
00:30Yeah.
00:33John, I am going to alter your life just like you've done mine.
00:39I was almost robbed of the ability to do any of this.
00:42I was almost forced into retirement.
00:44You know, we don't get to choose exactly how things end.
00:51Every time I get in here,
00:54could be the last time.
00:56I wanted to see how far I could take it when it seemed like even continuing was an impossibility.
01:03Coming out of that surgery and having restrictions on my neck and having no real idea of what I'm going
01:11to look like on the other side.
01:13I was blessed with another opportunity and I felt I could do this again.
01:19FTR didn't just attack your family, they also attacked my wife.
01:23So is this a chance for me to prove something?
01:29John Moxley, would you like to know the biggest difference between me and you?
01:37I understand this situation is deeply personal for all three of you.
01:43It's a chance for me to prove something about myself.
01:45I don't need a weapon to snatch someone's neck.
01:49We get a chance to prove that not only are we the best tag team of our generation.
01:56I can do it with my bare f***ing hands.
01:59We're the best tag team of your generation.
02:12You're not the greatest tag team of any generation.
02:15You don't even like each other.
02:16You've turned on each other.
02:18You've stabbed each other in the back.
02:18How many times now?
02:20You were childhood best friends and you hate each other's guts.
02:22Think about that for a second.
02:23The fact that you two who know each other better than anybody don't like each other tells me everything I
02:29need to know about you.
02:29We've never even argued.
02:30We've never had an argument.
02:31We've never had a disagreement.
02:32We've never had a cross word.
02:34You guys can't even trust us.
02:35You can't even have lunch together.
02:40What a follow up.
02:41Another hidden blade.
02:43The cover.
02:44And the return win for Will Ospreay.
02:50Oh, mate.
02:52They were on fire.
02:53I needed that, like, especially, especially for f***ing six months off, man.
02:58Oi, oi.
02:59What are you saying?
03:01I'm busting this.
03:03Yeah.
03:04Yo, mate.
03:05Mate, star, feel great.
03:07Thank you, mate.
03:08Kobe's been such a legend, man, throughout all of this.
03:11Always checking up on me.
03:12Always messaging.
03:13Like, he had the exact same one that I had.
03:15And ten years ago, that would disqualify me from wrestling.
03:18I got cleared to step foot in a wrestling ring again.
03:22I got my dream back.
03:24You know, the main reason I came to AEW was to reform the tag team with Christian.
03:29To show an entire new audience, a new generation of fans, what exactly it is that CNC is.
03:35What we are is groundbreakers.
03:37We changed tag team wrestling.
03:40And now, getting to our team again, there was a few hiccups along the way.
03:44But we were able to get, speaking of hiccups, glad you could join us.
03:49You're welcome.
03:51And you're right.
03:53There were some hiccups along the way, but we're here now.
03:56Those hiccups aside, the goal is to become the AEW tag team champions.
04:01The greatest champions of all time.
04:04AEW was built on the tag team division.
04:07There's a reason that the tag team division in AEW lives and dies with STR.
04:12Nobody can touch us between those ropes.
04:14We are the number one team to do this ever.
04:20You know, it's funny, right?
04:23Whether I want to admit it or not, without Kenny Omega, the Young Bucks, Cody Rhodes,
04:28this company doesn't exist.
04:29It just doesn't.
04:30It's called All Elite Wrestling for a reason.
04:34However, when you talk about All Elite Wrestling, you don't think about Kenny Omega.
04:38You think about MJF because I'm the biggest star that this promotion has by a wide margin.
04:44Now, am I going to sit here and pretend to you that Kenny Omega isn't going to go down as
04:48Bella's
04:48to Bell one of if not the greatest professional wrestler of all time?
04:52No, I'm not going to do that.
04:53There's a reason they call him a wrestling god.
04:55But there's also a reason they call me the devil.
05:04Does being champion equate to power?
05:08Kenny, we just saw you beat Swerve as the number one contender.
05:11Yeah.
05:12What does this mean to you after your hard road to get back to this point?
05:14Yeah.
05:16No, of course it does.
05:17I haven't been on the precipice of being a champion in quite some time.
05:21A champion is, it's a symbol.
05:24All eyes on me, that means power.
05:27That's a chance at influence.
05:29That's a chance to become an inspiration.
05:31This right here, it means a lot to you, doesn't it?
05:34You're a great wrestler.
05:36So why is it that you do the things that you do?
05:41I still hold the championship that every single man could only ever hope of obtaining.
05:48The ultimate power is being the AEW world champion because it is the most important world championship in all of
05:54professional wrestling.
05:55Frankly, it might be the most important championship in all of sports.
05:57Ain't nobody on the level of the devil.
06:08So when it comes to someone who can take that from you, why not the god of professional wrestling?
06:15Factually, Kenny Omega has had a hall of fame career.
06:19The best belt machine.
06:21This man is a freak athlete.
06:23Kenny Omega the greener.
06:24This man is durable.
06:25The belt collector.
06:27This man is strong.
06:28This man is fast.
06:29Some might say this man is unbeatable.
06:31And yet, I've already done that.
06:33You were better than a 60-80% Kenny Omega.
06:37It's my duty now to take that belt to represent what a true fighting champion is.
06:42What you people deserve is a champion who will go down as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.
06:49The god of pro wrestling.
06:51This isn't the place for people like you.
06:54Versus the devil.
06:56This is never supposed to be the MJF show.
07:00I remember back in like September 2022, and he took to the ring, and he said the words.
07:06The ace always wants the ball.
07:09Just at that moment, I was like, oh, man, I want to be here.
07:12I want to fight alongside him.
07:13I believed in what Jon Moxley was preaching back then.
07:16I don't believe in what he preaches now.
07:18Now I just hate him for what Jon took away from me.
07:22Hello, Jon!
07:24You get your friends.
07:26I'll get my friends.
07:28Lights out!
07:29Sue Cage, bruv!
07:32I think so much about that night.
07:37When it comes to my home, when it comes to my people, like, I want to be able to perform
07:41in front of them.
07:43It was just a magical moment standing there and performing in England.
07:46Having that special moment, realizing that I'm going to be going in for surgery.
07:53I got jumped, man.
07:57They fenced off anybody that tried to get in.
07:59Get him up!
08:01Get the cage up!
08:03Over and over and over again.
08:08And I felt my neck snapping.
08:12He didn't have any sympathy, any remorse.
08:15All he cared about was make an example out of me.
08:18We played gig.
08:21This game just keeps on going.
08:23And now I'm gonna make an example out of him.
08:34Revenge is me battering him to an inch of his life.
08:38Six months of just sitting there.
08:39I had to build myself from the ground up.
08:42The continental rules state, no one ringside.
08:45I'm gonna come at you with six months of depression.
08:50Six months of anger.
08:52Becoming the man that I am now.
08:54You have completely altered my life, mate.
08:56So now, you're gonna snap your neck off.
09:03January 1st, 2025.
09:05Asheville, North Carolina.
09:07Spooch!
09:08Yes!
09:08We got our revenge, but you needed more.
09:11You challenged Jon Moxley to a World Heavyweight title match
09:13that has nothing to do with us.
09:15You put me on the shelf for four months that I don't have!
09:19We're not like you, Cope.
09:21We're not like you, Cage.
09:21You don't have to feel that we are validated in what we do.
09:24Is that enough to convince Cope that Christian has turned a corner?
09:27You are just riding off into the sunset, one last hurrah.
09:31Well, it's a grudge match between two of the greatest tag teams ever.
09:35This Toronto crowd is jacked.
09:38You know, I hear a nostalgia act thrown around,
09:40but I don't see anyone that's gonna stop us.
09:44Wait a second, what is this?
09:47Beth Copeland!
09:48With the assist!
09:49It's real simple, FTR.
09:51You could still be somewhere else shaving each other's backs,
09:53but instead, you're here with the greatest tag team of this generation
09:56and prior generations.
09:59Greatest tag team of your generation, my ass.
10:01We are painted as the bad guys in this situation.
10:04They both are so damn selfish and so egotistical.
10:09They need the spotlight.
10:10Beth is trying to undo the handcuffs, but she doesn't have a key.
10:14Here it is, Adam!
10:18Go! Go! Go!
10:20You've been under our roof, our children!
10:22Go to school together!
10:23You are the throne!
10:24That's a boy!
10:26Adam, you did this.
10:26You put her in harm's way.
10:28Look in the mirror, bug eyes.
10:35Get out of here!
10:36I'd be remiss to say if Adam and Christian decided to bring their daughters into this.
10:42Maybe I'll spike pile drive them too.
10:44Beth Copeland does not need me to protect her,
10:48but over the last six months, I haven't been able to look her in the eye.
10:52But now that she's out of the woods, I realized that I needed to get my ass back to AEW
10:57and rectify the damn situation.
11:07He's back!
11:09He's not alone!
11:10Cope and Cage are back!
11:13And they are out for revenge!
11:16It's cute that Adam Copeland and Christian Cage are now trying to relive their glory days on the backs of
11:23FTR.
11:24Welcome.
11:24Join everybody else who tries to feed off of the FTR table.
11:28This is what really hurts you, isn't it?
11:31For 12 straight years, no breaks, no breakups, no individual goals.
11:37We have become the predominant tag team in professional wrestling.
11:43We've been here to bring up the tag team division,
11:46to make sure the World Tag Team Championship was on the exact same level as the World Heavyweight Champion.
11:53We live by this.
11:57You guys like to sing your own praises that you're top guys, that you're living legends, you're this, you're that.
12:03For you, this is a dream match.
12:06We'll see how true it is when we take those titles from you, when we embarrass you, when we leave
12:10you with nothing.
12:13The CNC Dynasty take a rightful place back on top of the mountain.
12:20Calling yourself the greatest tag team of a generation doesn't change the facts.
12:25We are the tag team you pretend to be.
12:29How many times have you went your separate ways to win a World Heavyweight Championship? Not us.
12:35We are the 11-time World Tag Team Champions for a reason.
12:40Something you've never done around the world.
12:43If you think you're gonna take these from us, we absolutely will dog walk them.
12:48What exactly can you do to us that hasn't been done before, that we haven't got up and walked away
12:54from under our own power?
12:56We are the Premier Tag Team. We are the dynasty of AEW.
13:02We will end you. Top Guys, out.
13:13As an EVP, I never created this company because of my own ego.
13:18We wanted to create a place where the best wrestlers.
13:23I'm not going to say everything I've accomplished because it's exhausting,
13:27but I've accomplished more than almost anyone has ever,
13:30and I've only been on national television for six years.
13:32It's frightening.
13:34I've been asked if winning the title this time around is going to be something that defines my legacy.
13:39Here's someone who came from the brink of death.
13:41Someone who thought, that was it.
13:43And here I am now on the doorstep of possibly reclaiming that belt.
13:46Possibly becoming the face again of a place where the greatest wrestlers are heralded as the best.
13:53And I never thought I could do that again.
13:55Well, what's the excuse going to be for your legacy, Kenny Omega, when you lose in your home country?
14:07Will Ospreay is one of the most jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring artists in the ring I have ever seen.
14:20A once-in-a-lifetime wrestler, a once-in-a-lifetime talent.
14:26I see the best in people.
14:28And I wanted the best for Will Ospreay.
14:49I do not apologize for anything.
14:58Anything.
15:00For better or worse, good or bad, comfortable or uncomfortable, the dominoes fall.
15:10Exactly how I want them to.
15:14If we put Will on the shelf, put him in timeout, start thinking things over,
15:19and realize that he is more powerful than he could ever imagine if he could just get out of his
15:25own way.
15:25This isn't personal for me, Will.
15:28Don't make it personal.
15:30We have never put a target on Will Ospreay.
15:34Will Ospreay put a target on himself.
15:39One thing I like about this championship is when he is on the line, there is no one ringside.
15:49I'm not gonna beat Will Ospreay.
15:51He's gonna beat himself.
15:53Put the Continental title on the line, you little bitch.
15:55Every time I step into the ring with the Continental Championship on the line, I am on death ground.
16:02I am past the point of no return.
16:04One day I will go down.
16:06It will not be a dynasty.
16:09Will Ospreay will get exactly what he asked for.
16:16I like the idea that the God of pro wrestling and all his disciples will have no choice but to
16:23admit that Maxwell Jacob Friedman is better than him.
16:27And you know it.
16:28What a chaotic way to start dynamite here tonight.
16:32Things are only about to pick up when this man makes his way to the ring.
16:37And ladies and gentlemen, he is the number one contender for the AEW world title.
16:44He is Kenny Omega!
16:51You got a great signature there, bud.
16:53Max, Max, please.
16:55Shut your mouth.
16:57How is it that I defeat MJF as the current day Kenny Omega?
17:03I can't lie, it's not gonna be easy.
17:06Look at all these people, Max. They must be here for you.
17:09They must be here to cheer for the champ.
17:12I'm not gonna take away what you've done for us.
17:15People are watching the show.
17:17They have a vested interest in what happens to that title.
17:19They are watching because they want someone to take it off of you.
17:23They're here to watch the best wrestle.
17:29They're not here for you, Max.
17:31This version of Kenny Omega is the best that we've got.
17:34They're here for me.
17:36Max, if I'm the antithesis to what you are, maybe I can be the god of professional wrestling.
17:42What I want to do is I want to talk about the thing you don't want me to talk about.
17:48You feel great right now, but the fact of the matter is your guts can explode at any given minute,
17:53any given second, any time, any place, anywhere.
17:59You want to be able to submit your legacy before it's all over.
18:02Their god will fall.
18:04There is no level I am not willing to stoop to in order to make sure that my legacy gets
18:09cemented.
18:09And your devil will rise.
18:12You're not willing to go to the places I'm willing to go to.
18:14That belt that you wear around your waist, I will take it from you.
18:19You're not man enough to do what it takes to put me down.
18:23And I will start to right the wrongs that you have committed in this company.
18:29Kenny Omega was ready for it!
18:31That is what a god of professional wrestling does!
18:35You're good, Kenny.
18:36You're real good.
18:38But you ain't MJF.
18:44The truest, most basic battle has always been between right and wrong.
18:53Two sides of a coin to decide an entire future.
19:00But, which side dictates righteousness?
19:05Sunday 12th of April, put the continental title on the line.
19:10Is it a soldier of fortune?
19:13Or a soldier of ambition?
19:16MJF paid off the Don Callis family to take out Darby Allin.
19:21A toxic entity or justified aggressor?
19:26The kingdom has changed since you ruled it.
19:30Is it the revenge seekers?
19:32This is about our legacy!
19:35For the perpetrators of the original sin.
19:38Will the dominance of FTR continue?
19:42A devil or a god?
19:46Somebody needs to knock you down a peg.
19:48Someone needs to strike you down!
19:51There is no grander prize, there is no higher honor,
19:56and there is no one who deserves it more than me.
20:00No matter the side you stand,
20:06the only way to prove right or wrong
20:09is through the other side.
20:15Continental Championship on the line.
20:17Expect no mercy.
20:19You know what happens when Chris Jericho needs an opponent
20:22and doesn't have one?
20:24You just made the list!
20:27Eventually, I'm gonna find you,
20:29and I'm gonna end your careers.
20:32You're never gonna touch this again,
20:34because you are the dumbest bitch alive.
20:38It will be the Young Bucks against Okada and Tekeshta.
20:44You are in a race against time to cement your legacy.
20:47Let's see who the better man is at Dynasty.
20:50I don't think you truly understand what you got yourself into.
20:54The Casino Gauntlet match.
20:57We will crown a new TNT Champion.
21:00We're gonna create some chaos in Canada!
21:04Goodbye and good night.
21:13Bang!
21:24Bang!
21:26Bang!
21:27Bang!
21:27Bang!
21:28Bang!
21:28Bang!
