00:00Welcome back to AEW Dynamite. We're just over two weeks away from Double or Nothing, live on Sunday, May 25th on Pay-Per-View, where Mercedes Manain, Jamie Hayter, will meet in the finals of the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament.
00:14Right now, Renee Paquette standing by with Jamie Hayter.
00:18Guys, I am here with Jamie Hayter.
00:21Right now, we are just over two and a half weeks away from Double or Nothing, where you are going to be in the finals of the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament facing Mercedes Manain.
00:31And the winner of that then going on to All-In Texas with a shot at the AEW Women's Championship.
00:38Talk to me about what this opportunity means to you.
00:41Well, it means to me. It means more to me than it does Mercedes. Let me tell you that for nothing.
00:46She was sat there with you last week talking about Scooby-Doo characters and her legacy.
00:52Pfft, what a load of nonsense.
00:54I'll be damned if Owen Hart's legacy is represented by Mercedes Monet, who is virtually the antithesis of what that man stands for.
01:05I don't care about all that.
01:07I want to get to know the real Mercedes, the human behind the hype.
01:12Not the catchphrase, not the brand, not the cheap, egotistical, obnoxious woman that we know today.
01:24Well, regardless of maybe how you feel about Mercedes, I mean, there's really no denying what she's been able to accomplish throughout the duration of her career.
01:32But I sat down one-on-one with her last week, and she said that you actually remind her a lot of herself.
01:39What's your take on that?
01:40My take? I'm insulted. We are nothing alike.
01:46I don't claim to be anything. I'm not the best, I'm not the worst, I'm not this, I'm not that.
01:52I reciprocate actions and energy, and she runs away like she owes me money.
01:59Come on.
02:01Renee, I don't have her resume.
02:02I don't have her accolades, her match catalogue, her star power.
02:10But what I do have is integrity, grit, truth, and more of a reason to hurt her, because this isn't about gold or glory.
02:21This is about showing her that she isn't untouchable.
02:25She can't walk around here, do what she wants, says what she wants, like she's the second coming.
02:32Well, Jamie, you were out of action for quite some time with a back injury.
02:37Are you at all going to need to talk about it, Renee?
02:41The back injury is irrelevant. I'm fine. I'm good to go.
02:44The point is, Mercedes is looking past me.
02:48And that's fine.
02:49Because she won't see...
02:50Oh, wait a second, Mercedes.
02:55Wow.
02:56It was Mercedes.
02:57I think so, yeah.
02:58Grabbed a handful of hair.
02:59Jamie Hayter.
03:00Wow.
03:01And, I mean, Hayter, she is exuding nothing but confidence, heading into double or nothing.
03:06But, Taz, Mercedes-Mene has been perfect.
03:09Wait, wait, wait.
03:09Wait a second.
03:10I'm here somewhere.
03:11Where are they?
03:14Battling out through the...
03:16Like the little gimmick balcony down here.
03:18Oh, Mercedes down to the...
03:20They're in the box seats.
03:21That's it, the word I was looking for.
03:23And now, Mercedes looking to get the better of Jamie Hayter, but I'm not sure.
03:28That's a fist fight that Mercedes can win.
03:31Yeah, Mercedes is trying to get away here now.
03:34You're not kidding, and Jamie is in hot pursuit after her.
03:39Oh, over her.
03:40Nice block.
03:41The overhook.
03:42The Hayter, right?
03:43No.
03:44Hayter was swinging for the fences with that one.
03:47But it will be Jamie Hayter, Mercedes-Mene, the finals of the 2025 Owen Hart.
03:54Oh, no.
03:55Oh, God.
03:57Hayter, she thought Mercedes was long gone, but now the statement maker sensed in.
04:05The shot from behind, and Jamie Hayter in agony.
04:12Yeah, pulling that neck back, her spine, getting bent back.
04:16You may not like it, but that was a brilliant move to think that she was gone.
04:20Wait a few seconds to come back in for the attack from behind.
04:23Mercedes-Mene looking to gain any edge, any advantage ahead of her clash with Jamie Hayter
04:32at double or nothing in the finals of the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament.
04:41Mercedes standing tall.
04:43Jamie Hayter obviously in distress, but fans, we have to keep this program moving.
04:48Let's head to the back where Alicia Tooth is standing by.
