00:00Fans, we were so excited a week ago to welcome to the AEW roster, one of the biggest stars
00:08in the entire world.
00:09And we know you want to see her live.
00:10Let's bring in right now, the CEO, Mercedes Moné.
00:11What an arrival it was to see the CEO of Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-Benz,
00:18Mercedes-Benz.
00:19To borrow a phrase from our colleague Jim Ross, business picked up.
00:46It was big business in Boston, and the arrival of this woman.
00:53Yeah, that's exactly how Mercedes rolls, big business for sure, great reaction for the
00:58CEO.
00:59What an energy there is here tonight in Toronto, and Mercedes bringing that energy just on
01:08her pitch.
01:09Mercedes Moné wasted no time in getting involved last week.
01:13We saw after the conclusion of the main event, Sky Blue, the TVS champion, Julia Hart, went
01:19to basically take out all of their frustrations, long-running frustrations on Laura Nightingale.
01:26But Mercedes Moné played the difference maker.
01:43Tonight, Dynamite is live on TVS, immediately followed by Rampage, three straight hours.
01:50Our Rampage main event will be the street fight between Julia Hart and Sky Blue, taking
01:56on Chris Stadlander and Willow Nightingale.
01:59That's immediately following Dynamite tonight.
02:02Don't go anywhere.
02:03We will be live.
02:04Yeah, that's going to be wild for sure.
02:08Great reaction right here, Toronto for Mercedes.
02:14And let's go back to the great Tony Schiavone.
02:16CEO! CEO! CEO!
02:20Well, I think the crowd says it all, Mercedes Moné, and the floor is yours.
02:26Toronto!
02:41Please say hello to your new CEO.
02:53Man, I am still on such a high since last week at big business.
02:58And I mean, I missed all of this.
03:02I missed the ring.
03:03I missed these ropes.
03:04I missed you guys.
03:06I missed all of this.
03:09And I am so excited to be here in AEW.
03:19CEO! CEO! CEO!
03:30Now, a lot of you guys don't know this, but all of this almost got taken away from me.
03:41This almost got taken away from me 10 months ago.
03:45I almost had a career near injury in a match for the New Japan Strongwoman Championship
03:53against Willow Nightingale.
04:01Now, I know this isn't the past, and I'm in a new home of AEW.
04:07And a lot of people might not know who Mercedes Moné is.
04:13So, I asked the truck to play a video that I put together so you can get a little taste
04:19of Moné.
04:25Please say hello to your new CEO.
04:34She is an iconic global star.
04:41From the red carpets of Hollywood
04:46to the runways of Paris.
04:51But her true calling, dominating professional wrestling
04:57everywhere around the world.
05:00I am here in New Japan at StartUp.
05:05I also know a thing or two about making history.
05:11That dream to become the greatest women's wrestler of all time.
05:17I'm the standard.
05:19The conversation.
05:21The blueprint.
05:25Willow, you and I have a lot of unfinished business.
05:33So, let's get down to business.
05:35And now, above all else, Mercedes Moné is off the elite.
05:53That's right.
05:55As you see, I was rocking and rolling.
05:58I was kicking butt all over the world.
06:02Then it got taken away from me.
06:04You see, I didn't know how it was going to come back.
06:07But I knew I needed to be back.
06:09I needed to be here.
06:12You see, because minor setbacks make for major comebacks.
06:17And now, here I am as your CEO.
06:28And I want to make the mission very, very clear.
06:31I am not here to lead a woman's evolution.
06:35No, I've done that before.
06:37I am here to lead a woman's global revolution.
06:43I came here to face the very best women in AEW and all over
06:49the globe.
06:54Now, about last week, when Julia Hart and the TBS champion
07:00That's right.
07:02And Sky Blue attacked Willow.
07:05They must not have heard when I said,
07:07I have unfinished business with Willow.
07:10And anybody who messes with my business will get bankrupt.
07:15Because there's a price to pay when you mess with
07:18Mercedes Moné.
07:26Well, you heard it from the woman herself.
07:29Oh, wait a second.
07:32All right, now.
07:36Well, something's happening.
07:37We can hear it.
07:38Yeah, what's up?
07:39The lights are out here in Toronto.
07:49Oh, wait a second.
07:50There's Julia Hart out there.
07:51And there's Sky Blue.
07:52And Sky Blue in from behind.
07:53Oh!
07:55Mercedes dropping Sky Blue.
07:57But Julia Hart in there.
08:00Now, Mercedes catching the boot on the knee to the face.
08:05And now, up for the Moné maker.
08:08But Sky Blue saving Julia Hart.
08:13A street fight coming up later tonight, a rampage.
08:16Good job by Sky Blue, saving her friend Julia Hart right there.
08:19But those two ladies aren't done.
08:21They're going under the ring here for chairs.
08:25They mean business, guys.
08:27They need to stop Mercedes Moné before she even starts.
08:34Oh, look at this.
08:36Is Willow going to return the favor from last week?
08:38Well, Statland is there and Willow.
08:41Chairs in hand.
08:42Things are getting spicy ahead of the street fight coming up
08:45tonight on Rampage.
08:47Chris Statland and Willow Nightingale standing shoulder to shoulder
08:51with Mercedes Moné.
08:53We should have known where the lights went out.
08:55That means Julia Hart will be around.
09:03It is pitch black in here.
09:05We saw it.
09:06Oh, my God.
09:07So Julia and Sky Blue, they were just standing in front of our desk.
09:10Now they've...
09:11Whoa, whoa, whoa.
09:12Look at Willow.
09:13What the hell is...
09:14Well, we know about the history with her and Mercedes.
09:20I think...
09:21You know, I think she may have...
09:23I think she was going to hit her with that chair.
09:25I mean, she was thinking about it.
09:35Intense moment there between Willow Nightingale and Mercedes Moné.
09:39I mean, Tony, I don't know if we'll ever know.
09:43Tony, I don't know if we'll ever know.
09:45Was Willow going to do it?
09:47Well, tonight, our Rampage main event, the street fight.
09:51Chris Statland and Willow Nightingale take on Sky Blue and Julia Hart
09:55at our Dynamite main event.
09:57The I Quit Match for the TNT Championship.
10:00Christian Cage, the champion.
10:01The Rated-R Superstar, Adam Copeland, coming up next.
