Cody Rhodes interviewed AEW referee Aubrey Edwards. Edwards said WWE wasn’t interested, and Cody pointed out that Edwards is a person that would ask “What’s missing?” and that WWE is a place that doesn’t tell you. Edwards went from that to “What can I do?” and it highlighted how she went from her WWE rejection to refereeing the main event of AEW All Out. This was absolutely fantastic.

A highlight video aired about The Young Bucks vs. Private Party from AEW Dynamite.
