AYW Fury episode 8 kicks off with a bang as pyro lights up the arena, signaling an electric night ahead. The camera pans over the pumped crowd, then focuses on the commentator’s desk where Michael Cole, Excalibur, and Nigel McGuinness are clearly excited.
Michael Cole: “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to AYW Fury! And buckle up because tonight is our final stop before Rage in the Cage! A big night ahead, a huge card, and of course, I’m joined here by Excalibur and Nigel McGuinness—who is, as always, overjoyed to be here.”
Nigel McGuinness: “Oh, please, Cole, this night’s got more thrills than you’ve got hairs left on your head. Rage in the Cage is right around the corner, and tonight, well, tonight’s just a warm-up!”
Excalibur: “Let’s not forget, Nigel, this is AYW we’re talking about. Warm-up is not in our vocabulary! With the lineup for Rage in the Cage, tonight’s going to set the whole arena ablaze!”
As the fans cheer, the opening music hits: Christian Cage’s theme. The arena lights dim, and the crowd shifts to boos as Christian Cage steps out onto the ramp, a sly smirk on his face and his usual smug confidence. He’s dressed sharply in a black suit and saunters down to the ring, clearly in his element. He pauses mid-ramp, soaking in the boos and sarcastically waves at the crowd.
Nigel McGuinness: “There he is—the father figure of AYW, ladies and gentlemen! Christian Cage has a lot to say, and from the look on his face, I’d say he’s feeling particularly…fatherly tonight.”
Cage steps into the ring, microphone in hand, and takes a moment, looking out into the audience with a mocking smile.
Christian Cage: “Well, well, well…another night, another moment for you ungrateful masses to bear witness to greatness. But tonight isn’t about you—it’s about me. And it’s about the future of this company!”
The crowd responds with a chorus of boos, and Christian chuckles.
Christian Cage: “You all don’t have to like me. Trust me, I sleep just fine knowing I’m despised. But Rage in the Cage is almost here, and I—Christian Cage, the best thing to happen to AYW—am here to make sure it goes down in history.”
The crowd boos louder, but Christian’s face remains unfazed, as if he’s waiting for them to settle down.
Christian Cage: “See, Rage in the Cage is going to be special. It’s not just another event. This is where champions are made and pretenders are exposed. And you can bet I’m going to make sure everyone knows who’s in charge around here.”
Christian Cage starts to pace in the ring, holding up a finger.
Christian Cage: “Tonight, I have some… adjustments to make. Some people have been getting too comfortable around here. And some, well, they’ve disappointed me.”
He pauses, giving the audience a smirk that hints he has more up his sleeve.
Christian Cage: “So tonight, before Rage in the Cage, we’re going to be tying up a few loose ends. And let me be very clear—by the time the night is over, you’ll know exactly why I’m the ‘father figure’ around here.”
Christian Cage’s music hits again as he stands tall in the ring, arms outstretched in arrogant triumph as he gazes out over the crowd, basking in their disdain.
Excalibur: “Christian Cage is clearly not done asserting his control here in AYW! Rage in the Cage is days away, and it looks like he’s setting up a few surprises.”
Michael Cole: “But you have to wonder—what exactly does Christian Cage have planned for tonight? And how will it impact Rage in the Cage?”
Nigel McGuinness: “Well, I’ll say this—Christian Cage knows how to make a statement. I wouldn’t want to be on his bad side tonight!”
With Christian Cage’s shadow cast over the entire show, the stage is set for an intense episode as AYW Fury heads to commercial.

Segment: The Acclaimed and The Young Bucks Confrontation

Caster does his usual freestyle rap on the way to the ring, taking playful jabs at their upcoming opponents at Rage in the Cage. The crowd eats it up, chanting along as The Acclaimed soak up the love.
In the ring, Max Caster grabs a mic, grinning at the roaring fans.
Max Caster: “AYW, make some noise for your tag team champions—The Acclaimed, baby!”
The crowd erupts, and Caster smirks as he looks into the camera.
Max Caster: “Now let’s talk Rage in the Cage. We’ve heard all the talk, all the whispers about how The Young Bucks, FTR, and everyone else think they can just walk in and take these titles off us. But newsflash—we’ve proven why we are the champs! When the dust settles, we’re walking out of there still the champs, because everybody loves…”
Crowd: “THE ACCLAIMED!”
As Caster and Bowens hold their titles high, the arena suddenly lights up with The Young Bucks’ theme music. The crowd shifts to a mixed reaction as Nick and Matt Jackson strut out onto the stage, smirking with mics in hand. They saunter down to the ring, sizing up The Acclaimed.
Matt Jackson: “Well, well, well… looks like The Acclaimed have gotten a little too comfortable with those shiny belts around their waists, huh, Nick?”
Nick Jackson: “Yeah, a little too comfortable! You guys think walking out of Rage in the Cage as champs is a given? Let’s get one thing straight: we’re not here to play second fiddle to some wannabe rappers.”
Bowens steps forward, leaning into the confrontation.
Anthony Bowens: “Wannabe rappers? You two couldn’t get a bar out if your lives depended on it. This isn’t about talking—it’s about proving it in the ring. And we’ll prove it at Rage in the Cage!”
Caster, feeling hyped, adds a sharp comeback.
Max Caster: “Tell you what, Young Bucks, if you’re so confident, why don’t you show us right now?”
Nick Jackson smirks and nods, clearly ready to accept the challenge.
Nick Jackson: “You want a piece of us? Fine. But how about I take on you, Bowens, right here, right now!”
The crowd cheers as a referee rushes to the ring to make the impromptu match official.
Excalibur: “It’s on! Anthony Bowens versus Nick Jackson—right here on Fury!”

The bell rings, and the crowd is buzzing with anticipation as Anthony Bowens and Nick Jackson square off. The Acclaimed’s intensity matches The Young Bucks’ cocky confidence, making for a tense face-off in the center of the ring.
Excalibur: “This rivalry is reaching a boiling point just before Rage in the Cage, and tonight, Bowens and Nick Jackson are about to give us a preview of what’s to come!”
Nigel McGuinness: “The Young Bucks are crafty. If I were Bowens, I’d keep one eye on Nick and the other on Matt Jackson lurking at ringside.”

The crowd is fully invested as both men continue to exchange moves, Bowens hitting a big German suplex, and Nick responding with a hurricanrana. The two are evenly matched, until…
- Matt Jackson jumps onto the ring apron, yelling at the referee and causing a distraction. The ref turns his attention to Matt, trying to get him down. Meanwhile, Bowens, seeing Matt, yells at him to get lost. This gives Nick the opening he needs.
- Nick sneaks up behind Bowens, landing a low blow out of the ref’s sight! Bowens doubles over, and Nick quickly capitalizes by hitting him with a Poison Rana, stunning him.

Michael Cole: “What a dirty finish! The Young Bucks will do whatever it takes to get the upper hand before Rage in the Cage.”
Nigel McGuinness: “Classic Bucks, Cole! They’ll use every trick in the book—and it worked!”
In the ring, Bowens looks frustrated, clutching his midsection as he realizes how the match slipped out of his hands. Max Caster joins him in the ring, helping him up as they glare up the ramp at The Young Bucks, who continue to mock them from a safe distance.
Excalibur: “If this is any preview of what we’re going to see at Rage in the Cage, then The Acclaimed are in for one brutal fight!”
The camera cuts to The Young Bucks posing and taunting at the top of the ramp, while Bowens and Caster stare them down, both fired up and ready for revenge at Rage in the Cage.
Backstage Interview with Samoa Joe
The camera cuts to Renee Paquette, who’s standing in the backstage interview area, microphone in hand.
Renee Paquette: “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time… Samoa Joe!”
Samoa Joe steps into frame, his expression deadly serious. The crowd’s reaction from the arena can be heard faintly as Joe gives a small nod to Renee.
Renee Paquette: “Joe, you’ve made it clear that you’re ready for anything, but stepping inside a steel cage with Bronson Reed at Rage in the Cage is no small task. What’s going through your mind as you prepare for this brutal match?”
Samoa Joe looks into the camera with a steely gaze.
Samoa Joe: “Bronson Reed thinks he’s some unstoppable force. But inside a steel cage, there’s no running, no hiding, no cheap shots. At Rage in the Cage, I’m going to rip him apart. Reed’s nothing but a big fish in a little pond. But I’m the shark, and I’m about to tear him limb from limb.”
As Joe speaks, the crowd in the arena roars in anticipation. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Bronson Reed charges into frame and blindsides Joe with a thunderous shoulder tackle, sending him crashing into a stack of equipment cases.
Renee Paquette: “Oh my god! Bronson Reed just attacked Joe!”
Joe stumbles but quickly regains his footing, a fierce glare in his eyes as he stands up, clearly infuriated. The two titans lock eyes for a split second, and without another word, they lunge at each other. A brutal backstage brawl erupts, with both men throwing heavy punches, neither backing down.
- Bronson shoves Joe against a concrete wall and slams him with a series of hard forearm shots to the face. Joe responds with a brutal headbutt, momentarily stunning Reed. He grabs Bronson by the neck and slams him into a stack of steel chairs, sending them scattering across the floor.
- Bronson roars, recovering quickly, and drives his knee into Joe’s midsection, doubling him over. He then lifts Joe and slams him against a large equipment crate, nearly breaking it with the force of the impact.
- Joe grits his teeth, refusing to back down. He grabs a nearby metal pipe and swings it at Bronson, catching him in the ribs with a vicious hit. Reed staggers, clutching his side, but fires back by grabbing a trash can and smashing it over Joe’s head, denting it with the force.
The chaos escalates as security personnel and backstage staff rush to the scene, trying to separate the two behemoths. But Joe and Reed shake off the guards like rag dolls, each determined to get the upper hand.
- Joe manages to grab Bronson’s head and slams him into a rolling equipment cart, tipping it over. As Bronson tries to get up, Joe pounces on him, landing brutal knee strikes to Reed’s head, his face twisted with rage.
- Bronson, undeterred, throws Joe off him with a powerful shove, sending him into a stack of lighting equipment. He stands up, breathing heavily, and yells at Joe.
Bronson Reed: “At Rage in the Cage, I’m gonna end you, Joe!”
Samoa Joe, barely winded, cracks a dark smile, wiping a bit of blood from his lip.
Samoa Joe: “Bring it, Reed. You’re gonna need more than this to keep me down.”
The two lock eyes once more, the tension palpable as security finally manages to wedge themselves between them, holding each man back. Both Joe and Bronson struggle against the guards, still shouting threats at each other.
Renee Paquette: “This rivalry has boiled over, and if this is any indication of what we’ll see at Rage in the Cage, it’s going to be absolute carnage!”
The camera cuts back to the ring area, leaving the image of Joe and Reed seething and struggling to break free, their fury barely contained as security pulls them in opposite directions.
Match 3: Thunder Rosa vs. Skye Blue
The bell rings, and Thunder Rosa and Skye Blue circle each other, ready to put on a hard-fought contest. Skye Blue, the underdog, shows off her agility, dodging some of Rosa’s early strikes and countering with quick arm drags and a dropkick that briefly catches Rosa off-guard.
Michael Cole: “Skye Blue is putting up a fight here, showing us why she’s one to watch!”
Nigel McGuinness: “But against the intensity of Thunder Rosa? She’s got an uphill battle here, Cole.”
Thunder Rosa quickly takes control with a brutal kick to the midsection, followed by a snap suplex that leaves Skye reeling. She applies relentless pressure, hitting a powerful running knee strike and grounding Skye with a submission hold. Skye tries to fight back, but Rosa shuts her down with a brutal Thunder Driver, slamming her into the mat and covering for the 1… 2… 3!
Thunder Rosa stands tall, looking determined and focused as she signals to the crowd, who cheer her on as a potential threat for the title at Rage in the Cage.
Excalibur: “Another impressive win for Thunder Rosa, who’s making it clear she’s coming for the gold!”
Just then, the arena lights dim, and “Brutality” blasts through the speakers. Rhea Ripley’s imposing figure appears on the entrance ramp, the AYW Women’s World Title slung over her shoulder. She marches to the ring with a focused, menacing glare. As she reaches the ring, she locks eyes with Thunder Rosa.
Rhea brushes right past Rosa with a hard shoulder bump, making a statement as she steps into the ring. Rosa doesn’t back down, giving her a cold stare before stepping out of the ring.
Michael Cole: “Did you see that, Excalibur? Rhea Ripley just walked right through Thunder Rosa like she was nothing!”
Nigel McGuinness: “It’s a message, plain and simple. Rhea’s saying, ‘This is my division.’ But Rosa didn’t look intimidated at all.”
Match 4: Rhea Ripley vs. Ruby Soho
Rhea Ripley stands tall in the ring, ready for action as Ruby Soho’s music hits. Ruby comes out, fired up and unafraid, bringing her unique style and energy to the fight. The bell rings, and Ruby rushes at Rhea, hitting her with a series of quick strikes, trying to catch her off-balance.
Rhea absorbs the hits and retaliates with a brutal clothesline that sends Ruby crashing to the mat. Rhea’s strength and intensity dominate the match as she methodically takes Ruby apart, showcasing her power with suplexes and vicious ground-and-pound.
- Ruby attempts a comeback, using her speed to avoid a big boot and delivering a dropkick to Rhea’s knee, briefly staggering her. Ruby goes for a springboard move, but Rhea catches her mid-air, hoisting her up into position for the Riptide.
- Rhea slams Ruby down hard, and the ref counts the 1… 2… 3! Rhea Ripley stands victorious, grabbing her AYW Women’s World Title from ringside and holding it high above her head.
Excalibur: “Another dominant performance from Rhea Ripley, and she looks unstoppable!”
As Rhea celebrates, Thunder Rosa suddenly slides back into the ring. Rhea turns, and the two lock eyes in a heated stare-down. Before Rhea can react, Rosa strikes, lifting her up and hitting the Thunder Driver, planting the champion flat on the mat!
The crowd erupts as Thunder Rosa stands tall, picking up the AYW Women’s World Title and raising it above her head, a clear message to Rhea and everyone watching.
Michael Cole: “Thunder Rosa just took out the champion! If this is a preview of Rage in the Cage, Rhea Ripley’s title reign might be in serious jeopardy!”
Nigel McGuinness: “Rosa made her point loud and clear tonight—she’s ready to dethrone Ripley!”
Rosa stands in the ring, clutching the title, her eyes filled with fierce determination as Rhea stirs on the mat, realizing her challenger is more than prepared for their clash at Rage in the Cage.
The camera cuts backstage, where Jon Moxley is seen exiting Christian Cage’s office. He pushes the door open with force, a smirk on his face, and pauses to crack his neck, clearly satisfied with whatever discussion just took place.
Michael Cole (voiceover): “Looks like Moxley just had a little chat with our GM, Christian Cage. Wonder what that was all about?”
Excalibur (voiceover): “When Moxley has a grin like that, you know he’s up to something. Could he be plotting something major ahead of Rage in the Cage?”
Moxley adjusts his leather jacket, briefly glancing back at the closed office door before striding down the hallway with a swagger. Other wrestlers and staff in the corridor give him wary glances as he walks by, his unpredictable energy radiating off him.
Nigel McGuinness (voiceover): “Whatever they discussed, you can bet it’s going to shake things up. Moxley doesn’t walk out of a meeting with Christian Cage without a plan in mind.”
The camera lingers on the door to Christian Cage’s office as Moxley disappears around the corner, leaving viewers wondering what the conversation could mean for the upcoming PPV.
Match 5: Britt Baker vs. Athena
The atmosphere in the arena is electric as Britt Baker makes her way to the ring, a confident grin on her face. Athena enters next, looking focused and determined, and the two competitors lock eyes before the bell rings.
Michael Cole: “Britt Baker has been on a roll lately, but Athena is no pushover. This should be an intense matchup!”
Nigel McGuinness: “Both these women have something to prove, Cole. Athena’s got the speed and power, but Britt has the technical edge.”
The bell rings, and the two go head-to-head, starting off with an intense back-and-forth exchange. Baker takes control early on, grounding Athena with a series of well-timed strikes and a side headlock takedown. But Athena quickly powers out, countering with a spinning kick that rocks Baker and sends her reeling into the corner.
- Athena charges, hitting Britt with a double knee strike in the corner, then follows up with a snap suplex. She covers for a quick pin, but Baker kicks out at two.
- Britt fights back with a flurry of punches, then plants Athena with a DDT. She smirks as she prepares to lock in the Lockjaw, signaling for the crowd as she grabs Athena’s arm.
Suddenly, before she can lock it in, Toni Storm’s music hits and the crowd gasps as Toni storms down the ramp, eyes locked on Britt Baker.
Excalibur: “What’s Toni Storm doing out here? She’s not scheduled to be involved in this match!”
Toni hops onto the apron, shouting at Britt and distracting her. Athena takes advantage of the moment, rolling up Baker from behind! The ref counts—1… 2… 3! Athena wins the match, sliding out of the ring with a grin as Britt, shocked, turns to see Toni still standing on the apron.
Michael Cole: “Athena steals the victory, thanks to Toni Storm’s interference!”
Before Britt can react, Toni steps into the ring with a sinister smirk, advancing toward her. Britt braces herself, shouting at Toni to bring it. Toni suddenly tackles Britt to the mat and begins unloading with brutal punches, catching Baker completely off guard.
- Toni drags Britt to her feet and slams her headfirst into the turnbuckle repeatedly, with an almost unhinged look in her eyes.
- She pulls out a pair of brass knuckles from her boot, sliding them onto her fist before delivering a savage punch to Britt’s face, busting her open. Blood begins to drip down Britt’s face as she stumbles back, dazed.
Not satisfied, Toni grabs Britt and hits her with a Storm Zero in the middle of the ring, leaving her sprawled out in a growing pool of blood. Toni stands over her fallen rival, a cold, satisfied expression on her face as she surveys the damage.
Nigel McGuinness: “This is brutal… Toni Storm has just left Britt Baker in a bloody mess!”
Medical personnel rush down the ramp to tend to Britt, but Toni takes her time exiting the ring, smirking as she looks back at her handiwork. The fans are left in shock as Toni heads up the ramp, Britt lying motionless in the ring, blood staining the canvas.
Excalibur: “If Toni Storm is willing to go this far tonight, what will she be capable of at Rage in the Cage?”
Michael Cole: “Britt Baker may have just met her most dangerous adversary yet in Toni Storm.”
The camera lingers on Britt as she’s helped by medics, her face bloodied and bruised, signaling the intensity of her feud with Toni Storm heading into Rage in the Cage.
The camera cuts to backstage, where Christian Cage storms out of his office, his expression dark and seething. Renee Paquette quickly approaches him with a mic in hand, sensing the urgency of the moment.
Renee Paquette: “Christian, can you tell us what happened in your meeting with Jon Moxley? What was discussed?”
Christian glares at Renee, clearly agitated, and shakes his head dismissively.
Christian Cage: “I’m not in the mood to talk about Moxley right now, alright? That guy’s… well, let’s just say he’s going to get exactly what’s coming to him. But that’s not why I’m out here.”
Christian takes a breath, calming himself just enough to make an announcement.
Christian Cage: “At Rage in the Cage, we’re making history. I’m officially announcing a Gauntlet Match to crown the first-ever AYW Television Champion. It’s going to be grueling, it’s going to test every competitor to their absolute limit, and only the toughest will come out on top.”
Renee tries to ask another question, but Christian holds up a hand, shutting her down with an icy glare.
Christian Cage: “And before you start asking more questions, Renee… get out of my face!”
He brushes past Renee, who stands there momentarily stunned. The camera follows Christian as he storms down the hallway, clearly still fuming, leaving the announcement of the Gauntlet Match hanging in the air, fueling speculation about who might compete in this historic bout.
Michael Cole (voiceover): “A Gauntlet Match for the AYW Television Championship? That’s huge! But what’s going on with Christian and Moxley?”
Excalibur (voiceover): “Whatever it is, Christian Cage is clearly on edge, and Rage in the Cage just got even bigger!”
The scene fades out, leaving a sense of tension and excitement about what’s to come at the PPV.

They receive a solid reaction from the crowd, who know they’re in for a hard-hitting bout. The energy shifts as the Authors of Pain’s intense, ominous theme music blares through the arena, and Akam and Rezar stomp down the ramp, intimidating as ever. Both teams square up in the ring, tension palpable as the referee calls for the bell.
Michael Cole: “This is going to be a brutal battle! These are two of the toughest teams in professional wrestling.”
Nigel McGuinness: “FTR have the finesse, but Authors of Pain are pure power. This could go either way, and you can bet both teams are looking to send a message ahead of Rage in the Cage!”

Excalibur: “The Authors of Pain hit the Last Chapter! This could be it!”
- Rezar goes for the cover, and the referee counts—1… 2… 3! Authors of Pain pick up the victory.
The Authors of Pain stand tall, breathing heavily, as their music hits. FTR rolls out of the ring, clutching their backs in pain but staring down their opponents with defiance, clearly unsatisfied with the result.
Michael Cole: “What a statement from Authors of Pain! They’ve just shown FTR—and everyone else—that they’re here to dominate!”
Nigel McGuinness: “That was an absolute war, and you can bet this rivalry is far from over.”
Authors of Pain stand in the ring, glaring out at the crowd as they raise their fists in victory, while FTR retreats up the ramp, determined to regroup and fight another day.
The screen fades to black as a dramatic music cue begins, and a voiceover cuts in with excitement.

Voiceover: “Be there as the curtain lifts on the faces that will define the future of wrestling. Don’t miss it!”
The commercial ends with a shot of the audience erupting in excitement, building the anticipation for next week’s landmark episode of Fury.*
The arena lights dim as Roman Reigns’ music hits, and the crowd erupts into a mix of cheers and boos. The Tribal Chief walks down the ramp, holding the AYW World Championship high above his head, a confident expression on his face as he enters the ring.
Michael Cole: “Here comes the reigning champion, Roman Reigns! He has a massive title match against Jon Moxley at Rage in the Cage!”
Reigns grabs a mic and takes a moment, soaking in the mixed reaction from the crowd before beginning to speak.
Roman Reigns: “Next week, I stand across from Jon Moxley inside that steel cage. Everyone knows that I am the best in this business, and I will prove it once again. Moxley thinks he can take this title from me? He thinks he can walk into Rage in the Cage and leave as the champion? Not a chance.”
The audience cheers, some chanting “Roman!” while others boo him.
Roman Reigns: “Moxley, you can bring all the chaos you want, but when that door closes, it’s just you and me. I’ll show you why they call me the Tribal Chief!”
Just as Reigns raises the title belt to his shoulder, the arena goes dark, and Christian Cage’s music hits. The General Manager strides down to the ring with a smug expression, microphone in hand.
Christian Cage: “Oh, Roman, Roman, Roman. You really think you’re invincible, don’t you? But let’s not forget, it’s not just about the title. It’s about survival in that cage. You may have the power, but you’re going to need more than that when it comes to Moxley. He’s a different animal.”
Reigns narrows his eyes at Christian, clearly annoyed by his intrusion.
Roman Reigns: “You’re just trying to get under my skin, Christian. I’m not afraid of Moxley or any of your games. You can try to play puppet master all you want, but this is my yard.”
Christian smirks, pacing around the ring, continuing to provoke.
Christian Cage: “Is it, Roman? Is it really your yard? Because at Rage in the Cage, you may find that you’re not the only one with a plan. Just remember, the cage isn’t just a structure—it’s a weapon, and it can turn on anyone. Including you.”
The tension rises as Christian leans in closer to Reigns, taunting him further. Suddenly, the lights flicker, and the atmosphere shifts as the crowd’s anticipation grows. Out of nowhere, Jon Moxley’s music hits, and the crowd explodes with excitement!
Before Roman can react, Moxley charges through the crowd, sliding into the ring like a freight train. He springs up and nails Reigns with his Paradigm Shift, dropping the champion hard to the mat! The impact echoes throughout the arena as Moxley stands over Reigns, breathing heavily and staring down at him.
Michael Cole: “What a stunning attack! Jon Moxley just blindsided the champion!”
Christian watches from the side, a sly smile creeping across his face as he steps back, enjoying the chaos unfold. Moxley kneels beside Reigns, his eyes wild with intensity.
Jon Moxley: “You think you’re ready for me, Roman? Let’s see how ready you really are at Rage in the Cage!”
The camera zooms in on Moxley as he stands tall, the crowd roaring in approval. The show ends with Moxley’s fierce gaze fixed on the fallen Reigns, leaving fans buzzing with anticipation for their championship clash.
Michael Cole: “What a shocking end to tonight’s Fury! Moxley has sent a clear message, and Rage in the Cage is going to be explosive!”
The screen fades to black, building excitement for the upcoming pay-per-view.
