As things slowly deteriorate within The Don Callis Family, Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita attempt to pick up a victory for the stable by taking on Private Party’s Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen head-to-head. Following Fletcher’s loss of the Ring of Honor World Television Championship to Atlantis Jr. at CMLL’s Super Viernes event on June 28, AEW International Champion Will Ospreay walked out of the stable last Wednesday after Callis gave him a screwdriver in an attempt to help him dethrone Swerve Strickland as AEW World Champion, which he ultimately did not use.

After falling short against MJF on the June 19 episode of “Dynamite,” Rush looks to redeem himself by returning to action to face Komander. Prior to his loss to MJF, Rush was on a winning streak in AEW, defeating the aforementioned Kasssidy, Cody Chhun, and Deonn Rusman.
