Here is the AEW recap of this week’s episode of Dynamite related to Tyson.
Earlier in the day, “Iron” Mike Tyson attempted to film an introduction for DYNAMITE to say how excited he was to be the special ringside enforcer tonight, but he was interrupted by MJF!
“Brother, I’m not asking you to cheat tonight, I’m just asking you to be on the right side of history. The last thing I want is for you to look back on tonight and have any regrets,” said MJF, who then proceeded to insult Tyson’s face tattoo. MJF then tried to bribe “Iron” Mike with a blank check. Tyson grabbed the blank check and tore it to pieces. MJF walked away in disgust…
…Alex Marvez interviewed the Inner Circle along with “Iron” Mike Tyson backstage.
Jericho said after their beatdown from the hands of the Pinnacle a few weeks ago, they decided to change their ways. Jericho said he called Tyson to apologize. Jericho said that Tyson was there tonight because he offered to have their backs. Jericho said he expected Tyson to call it right down the middle and didn’t expect any special favors.
“Hey, listen, Chris, I’m firm but fair, so let the best man win. I have respect for you, I’m happy to call you a friend, but I’m not gonna take any sides. If you mess up, there’s a possibility you’re gonna get knocked out again. I don’t want that to happen. Best of luck, my friend,” said Tyson…
