00:01SÅ‚yszymy.
00:02Was that too early?
00:03No.
00:07I mean,
00:09the reality of it is that, like,
00:11no one
00:13knows
00:15when you're going to get hurt or how you're
00:18going to get hurt.
00:20But that's just
00:21kind of the nature of the beast in this business.
00:24It comes for everyone eventually.
00:27I have to withdraw
00:28from the Owen Hart Cup.
00:31Furthermore,
00:34I must relinquish
00:36the TBS Championship.
00:39Doctors are telling
00:40me I have to
00:42sit out the pay-per-view
00:43that's in New York, that's in front of
00:46my family. Like, I was going back and forth with
00:48our team being like, hey, can I get this
00:50many tickets for my family? Can I
00:52do this? And it was, you know, a
00:54struggle. It felt like
00:55the beginning of my path to Wembley.
00:58And
01:00it just
01:02stopped.
01:03And, uh, I had to figure
01:05out
01:08what was next?
01:09What would be next? How do I get there?
01:12Thinking back to
01:13Beach Break, knowing that
01:15we'd be outdoors, knowing that
01:17we'd been experiencing record heat
01:19here in Florida.
01:20And it's hot, it's hot as hell, man.
01:23Nighttime or not, it's hot.
01:24And it was gonna come down to both
01:25preparation and willpower.
01:30And if I didn't have in here,
01:32if I didn't convince myself in here
01:35that this was everything,
01:37I know I'd lose.
01:38One-winged angel
01:40Kenny Omega proved
01:42that he is the best in the world.
01:44He proved that he deserves to be
01:46to be the AEW World
01:48Champion.
01:50Yeah, listen, if you're not
01:51in this game for the world title,
01:54I don't know why you're bothering.
01:56But I've been around this long enough to know
01:57that it's a ladder, right?
01:59You just gotta climb it.
02:00And the roster currently
02:03in AEW is better than any roster
02:06that's ever been assembled to professional
02:08wrestler.
02:09So to come here
02:10and to look at people like Will Ospreay
02:12and Kenny Omega,
02:13look at people like
02:14Cope and Christian and Jericho,
02:16look at people like Mox
02:17and Speedball Mike Bailey
02:19and The Jet and Kyle Fletcher,
02:21and the list just goes on
02:22and on and on.
02:23There was no doubt in my mind
02:24that this is the place to go
02:26to not only test myself,
02:28but to prove to myself
02:29that I'm just as damn good
02:31as I think I am.
02:31Just as damn good as I say I am.
02:36I mean, Jericho is certainly
02:37not the end goal.
02:39When I came to AEW,
02:41he was high up on my short list of people
02:44that I really was eyeing.
02:46And, you know,
02:47for anyone who doesn't understand
02:48why that is,
02:49that you just don't understand pro wrestling.
02:51Chris Jericho has been everywhere
02:53in the world.
02:54Chris Jericho has been
02:55at the pinnacle everywhere he's gone.
02:56He's the first ever AEW world champion.
02:59If I beat Chris Jericho
03:00and prove to the world,
03:02like I've said from day one,
03:03Tommaso Ciampa
03:04is better than Chris Jericho.
03:06That's a great way
03:07to go rung by rung up the ladder
03:09to the world title.
03:10Willow isn't just a dumb bitch.
03:12She's actually pretty smart
03:13for a dumb bitch.
03:15She avoided losing the TBS title.
03:18She avoided being in the 0-1 hard,
03:20and she just came back
03:21at the exact right time.
03:23She's walking around
03:24calling everybody dumb bitches,
03:26so obviously she must feel better
03:28than everybody else.
03:29but hubris is exactly the kind of thing
03:33that crushes champions.
03:35Kevin Knight interview.
03:37Take one.
03:38Come on.
03:40Come on now.
03:41I'm currently the face of TNT,
03:44and everybody wants to run around here
03:46giving me advice.
03:47Like, I don't understand my instrument.
03:50I know exactly who I am,
03:52and I know exactly what I'm capable of.
03:54You know, I didn't come to AEW to hide.
03:57I didn't come here to run from the spotlight.
04:00That's why ever since I came to AEW,
04:02I called myself the one that you look up to.
04:04Because I'm not wasting any time.
04:07Kenny Omega, for sure,
04:09wanted the best to ever do it.
04:11But in the amount of time
04:12that it took him to do it,
04:14the Jett did it in months.
04:16and now I'm showing exactly what's supposed to happen
04:19when two greats go at it.
04:24Kevin Knight,
04:25you know, I look at you,
04:27I see the future.
04:30You've got something that others wish that they had,
04:32and it comes to you naturally.
04:35This is where you belong.
04:37You belong in the ring.
04:38There's one lesson that I need to drive home.
04:42There is a vast difference
04:44between being a TNT champion
04:48and a world champion.
04:50A redemption.
04:52I'm going to teach you
04:54just how big that gap actually is.
05:00You know, I find myself always thinking about
05:02the difference between who I am today
05:05and who I was back then.
05:09I can't lie.
05:10Holding this belt
05:12just doesn't quite seem proper.
05:15I would look at Kenny Omega matches
05:18and I knew they were great,
05:19but I was like, something is missing.
05:21It's not so much about what I've lost now,
05:24but it's what I've changed.
05:26But holding what it represents,
05:28that being AEW World Championship,
05:31now that means the world.
05:33And that secret ingredient was confidence.
05:35Not only will I be the best champion I can be,
05:39but I'll be a champion that even you are jealous of.
05:42Not only does Kenny have the hot hand
05:44because he's coming off a thrilling title victory over MJF,
05:47but he's got his confidence back.
05:50He's got his confidence back.
05:52The Kenny Omega back then didn't understand the gift that he had.
05:57What happened to the gentleman's agreement?
05:59Don Callis has led a screw job here.
06:01And he thought, I want to be the champion.
06:04And I want to be the champion now.
06:06I'm not going anywhere until you find someone that can actually beat me.
06:11He wasn't afraid to take shortcuts.
06:14The Kenny Omega of today, we don't take shortcuts.
06:20I must beat you, I do.
06:22So goodbye, everyone.
06:24And good night.
06:28Kenny Omega is trying to do the impossible.
06:32Kenny Omega is trying to slow down time.
06:35But that just isn't going to work for the Jett.
06:39Kevin Knight, what are you doing?
06:42Because what I'm about to do in this business can't be contained.
06:45I decided that I wasn't going to trust the process anymore.
06:48Kevin Knight, you know, I look at you, I see a bit of myself.
06:53Don seen that the Jett was the biggest one in the back
06:56and made me his number one asset.
06:58I know it's hard to understand huge ideas.
07:02Like the concept of family, for example.
07:05That's it.
07:05Are you kidding me?
07:06That's very, very key.
07:07There's no loyalty in the wrestling business.
07:09Kevin Knight, this young man with a world of potential
07:12is flying a little too close to the sun.
07:15You don't need a guy like Don.
07:18Trust me.
07:19He's trying to point his fingers and tell me
07:21not to go down the same route that he already did.
07:24I'm here for one reason and one reason over.
07:27Jett, two belts, baby.
07:29Kenny Omega is afraid of what I'm going to take from going.
07:31Good for Kevin.
07:33Oh, cheap shot.
07:34Five time comes for everybody, Kenny Omega.
07:37And at redemption, what you feared has already came.
07:42That you're going to be looking up at the Jett.
07:47I think there are a lot of expectations that come with being
07:51Willow Nightingale and being like the smiling, happy person.
07:58and it's been hard.
08:01I think I've been depressed for about a year.
08:04And I've just had to find a way to strap a smile on,
08:09put my twinkly boots on and find a way to keep going.
08:13And, um...
08:14As the clock ticks down...
08:16Look at them go.
08:17They all want a shot.
08:18Any time you come back from a serious injury like Willow has,
08:21it's a question mark.
08:22Willow, we already have so much in common.
08:23We all have worries when coming back from an injury.
08:26I could sit here right now and tell you I'm on all these flights
08:30and I'm doing this so often.
08:32I'm missing my family's birthday party.
08:34I'm missing weddings.
08:36But we all do it.
08:36What makes me more deserving than anybody else?
08:39Oh, wait a second!
08:40Look at us back!
08:42The Panjikoi Bananas here!
08:44To me, it's not even a matter about deserving.
08:47It's just I'm in this position.
08:49The opportunities are there.
08:51I'm taking them and I'm excelling.
08:52And at the end of the day, that's what makes you a champion.
08:55It will be Willow Nightingale and the Toxic Spider Tekla
08:59for the AEW Women's World Championship!
09:02With Mercedes Monáe waiting in the wings...
09:06Willow, baby!
09:08No amount of manifesting and dreaming is going to save you
09:11from what I'm going to do to you at redemption.
09:15Have I not been running women's wrestling
09:17while Willow hurt her shoulder while picking out record albums?
09:22I'm going to step into your dreams.
09:24Willow would not be human if she was not concerned.
09:28I'm going to break your smile.
09:29Because you don't earn the name The Toxic Spider by accident.
09:33Tekla!
09:34The spear Willow had no chance!
09:36I ain't buying any of that smile anyway, crap!
09:41Tekla will do whatever she has to do
09:42to capitalize on any weakness in Willow's game.
09:45You're putting on a mask every time you walk out here.
09:48And I think you're just poisoned inside.
09:50Divine Dominion attacking!
09:53If this wasn't bad enough,
09:54then I'm going to have to face Mercedes Monáe
09:57in the middle of Wembley Stadium.
09:58Mercedes made some sort of business arrangement
10:00with the World Tag Team Champions.
10:01You want to make some money, baby?
10:03You want to live forever, baby?
10:06Because I'm going to show you
10:07what a real toxic looks like!
10:11You can't be a winner without an adversary.
10:13I'm not going to tell you how I'm going to beat Willow.
10:16I'm not going to tell you why I'm going to beat Willow.
10:18The only thing I'm going to tell you
10:19is what's going to happen after that.
10:21Mercedes Monáe standing tall.
10:24This is about being the best.
10:25This is about walking out as the winner,
10:27walking out the champion at the biggest show of the year.
10:32I am so sick of the same damn question.
10:37Who's walking into All In with the title?
10:41Who will be AEW Women's World Champion at All In London?
10:45Wrong question, Renee.
10:48One hides behind a fake little poison?
10:51The AEW Women's World Champion!
10:55And new Artist of Stardom Champion!
10:59It's Tekla Two Belts, baby!
11:04I'm double fisting, baby!
11:07And the other hides behind a fake little smile.
11:10You mistook my smile as a weakness.
11:15I think people often overlook that
11:17and they think that that means I'm soft or a pushover.
11:21I haven't gotten this far just by being naive and hopeful.
11:25I will put every ounce of my soul,
11:28every ounce of blood in my heart into it
11:31and make sure that it will be me.
11:34At Redemption, we have everything to lose.
11:38When I'm standing on top of you with my belt
11:42and you're battered and beaten and broken and bloodied,
11:45your dreams are shattered and your clouds are pissed on.
11:53I don't give a damn who's walking out of Redemption with that title.
11:58We both want to walk into All In as the AEW Women's Champion.
12:02The only question that matters, it's who's walking out.
12:05Are we looking at the next AEW Women's World Champion?
12:10The C-E-O.
12:25Most of the hard work is done.
12:34These last few steps are the critical ones.
12:38Mistakes cost everything.
12:42All In 2025 Texas.
12:46Will Osprey, you ruined our lives.
12:48You embarrassed us in front of our children.
12:50You took away our EVP status.
12:52We lost everything and it humbled us and it put us to ground zero.
12:56And we had to build ourselves back up.
12:58But it took all of that to get us back to where we are.
13:02I think it's time that we teach you that same lesson.
13:06You've gotten this neck surgery.
13:07Yes.
13:08You're getting brainwashed.
13:09I think you've forgotten who Will Osprey is
13:11because Jon Moxley's in your head.
13:14You're getting real sick of everybody's talk about what's wrong
13:17and what's right and who's not being their true authentic selves.
13:25You're all full of s**t.
13:27It's the Young Bucks versus the Death Riders.
13:30We're going to prove to the world that there is no redeemable qualities left
13:35on any of the Death Riders.
13:36Did you want Ben this entire time?
13:39I have substance!
13:42Look, there will come a time in your life
13:44when you're going to have to make some hard decisions.
13:47This, your dream.
13:49This is not a hard decision.
13:51This is simple.
13:52When you get your shot, you don't hesitate to pull the trigger
13:56no matter who the target is.
14:07Did I want Painmaker?
14:11Does it matter?
14:13I pulled out a side of Chris Jericho
14:16that we haven't seen in quite some time.
14:18You left me bloodied and battered, and I liked it.
14:23You bring the pain, and I'll bring the Painmaker.
14:26And my guess is that the Painmaker might pull out a side in the Psycho Killer
14:31that we haven't seen in some time.
14:32The Psycho Killer is not afraid of the Painmaker.
14:38No.
14:39No.
14:40Holds.
14:41He has unlocked the door to the Painmaker.
14:44I don't think Ciampa realizes what he's done.
14:48When you turn into something like that, when that red light goes on,
14:53you're no longer a husband.
14:55You're no longer a father, a son, a friend.
15:00The Psycho Killer lives on an island when that light turns on.
15:05How violent do I expect this match to be?
15:08A victory over Chris Jericho?
15:10Painmaker or not, it has to put Tommaso up there in the title picture.
15:14He's going to do whatever he needs to do to get into that conversation.
15:17There's going to be suffering involved.
15:19The Painmaker lives on an island when that light turns on.
15:23He's the Painmaker!
15:24I have owned this pain.
15:26This is just too much. Just too much.
15:27I have owned this pain.
15:29This is just simply barbaric.
15:31I have become this pain.
15:35Ciampa!
15:36Hell is coming for you.
15:40Every great wrestler needs an exclamation point at the end of their story.
15:44That exclamation point could be Montreal for Tommaso Ciampa.
15:48I can't promise you anything more than the fact that you are going to see violence.
15:55And I'm prepared for that.
16:00And I hope Chris Jericho is prepared for that.
16:10Omega lining up Trenton Rocky for a V trigger.
16:16Now Kevin Knight caught Omega square in the face with the TNT Championship.
16:23Kenny Omega may be the god of pro wrestling, but what's a god to a non-believer?
16:29Jet two belts, perhaps a portentous vision of the future.
16:33I could have walked into Wembley quite easily without having defended this belt once.
16:38Hey, Kevin.
16:41Here's something you don't see every day.
16:44You made me bleed.
16:46This could very well be the last time I hold this belt.
16:49So while I'm here, I want to do things the right way and I want to do things in the
16:53best way.
16:54Redemption marks a starting point for when we turn up the heat in this place.
16:59What seems like everybody around here is trying to humble the Jet.
17:03Why would anybody like me ever be humbled?
17:05Kenny Omega's next level.
17:07All bets are off starting from today on.
17:10Kevin Knight, show up hungry my friend.
17:12Show up very, very hungry.
17:15The Jet is the greatest TNT champion of all time.
17:20And me becoming AEW world champion is written in stone.
17:24Being the best champion means that you have to dig and find that little bit extra that you didn't even
17:29know you had.
17:30And I know exactly what I bring to the table.
17:33I want you to bring that out of me.
17:34I know you and Will are ready to get it on at Wembley, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
17:40I'm not here to take part in AEW.
17:42I'm here to take over this whole damn company.
17:45What the power, what the power, what the power.
17:48Every second, every minute, every hour, every hour.
17:51It's human nature to look at like the bigger picture.
17:54And in a sense, all in in Wembley Stadium, it's a slightly bigger picture.
17:58But do not overlook Montreal.
18:00Put it all out of line at Redemption.
18:04Try to play mind games.
18:05He's too smart for you.
18:07Everything you've got in your life that is good is because of me.
18:10But Redemption, I want it to be Kevin the Jet Knight.
18:16If you want to be my two belt man, you take care of that punk.
18:21Not Kevin, Don Callis' lapdog little bitch knight.
18:26This greatness in my heart is going to turn jet two belts from a dream to your worst nightmare.
18:34We all have something to prove.
18:38Because in the end, fail to seize the moments in front of you.
18:44Live the regret forever.
18:48You're hitting off way more than you can chew.
18:51Show up in Montreal at Redemption for a shot at the Tag Team Championships.
18:59Become who you were always meant to be.
19:02When you get your shot, you don't hesitate.
19:06We challenge you to a Tag Team Match at Redemption.
19:11You pull the trigger.
19:13No matter who the target is.
19:16You want me, Bandito?
19:19I want you!
19:21The Protostar Kyle Fletcher versus the most wanted Bandito at Redemption.
19:28Davis!
19:30Andrade!
19:31The AEW National Championship!
19:34You're gonna be chained to the Bang Bang Gang!
19:37Double chain!
19:38Tag Team Match!
19:40Stare fear dead in its eye.
19:43The Redemption.
19:44Let's raise the stakes, shall we?
19:46No holds.
19:50You bring the pain, and I'll bring the pain maker.
19:56Come and get it.
19:58No amount of dreaming is going to save you from what I'm going to do to you at Redemption.
20:03I took the gamble and now the babe with the power has one more shot.
20:09The best is Sheena!
20:15The six-man ladder match of Redemption.
20:18For a shot at the International Championship.
20:20Until someone is good enough, willing to sacrifice enough, this right here is gonna stay around my waist.
20:30Forget what you thought was purely destiny.
20:35Because before you can stand at the cathedrals altar, you must redeem yourself.
20:43There's a debt to be paid, and I'm here to collect.
20:47Kenny Omega, The Jet, Kevin Knight, one-on-one for the AEW World Championship.
20:58And your last chance
21:03Is in front of you, now.
21:19will be your last chance on your life.
21:22I'll see you later.
21:22And this will be a bit.
21:26The first time, you can see a bit of a lot of movement.
21:26I'm happy.
21:28You can see you later.
21:29I'm happy for you to be.
21:29Hey, you're happy.
21:30I'm
