All Elite Wrestling opened its September 30 episode of Dynamite with a pre-recorded promo from Jon Moxley that took on new meaning following the death of Pac.

Broadcaster Tony Schiavone introduced the footage before a ten-bell salute was held with the roster gathered on the stage .
In the promo, Moxley congratulated Ospreay on the victory but focused on themes of perseverance, loss, and how people are remembered after death .
He spoke about the inevitability of losing in wrestling and in life, telling Ospreay that every day is a gift and that the real work had only just begun .
Moxley then discussed the nature of eulogies, drawing a distinction between being remembered for what someone did versus who they were .
He said he knew which eulogy he wanted for himself and told Ospreay he expected the same standard from him .
The segment ended with Moxley leaving the frame, followed by Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, and Daniel Garcia. Pac remained briefly before turning and walking away last .
