Claudio Castagnoli wants to fight PAC.
On the July 19 episode of AEW Dynamite, The Golden Elite (Kenny Omega, Hagngman Page, the Young Bucks, and Kota Ibushi) defeated Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli, Jon Moxley, and Wheeler Yuta), Konosuke Takeshita, and PAC in the Blood & Guts match. Near the end of the bout,, Castagnoli accidentally hit PAC with an uppercut. "The Bastard" argued with the ROH World Champion and proceeded to flip him off. PAC then left the match, and his actions somewhat cost the BCC the bout.
In a tweet, AEW shared a post-match promo in which Castagnoli challenged PAC to face him at ROH Death Before Dishonor on July 21.
"BASTARD. Step up."

PAC quickly responded and accepted the challenge. He vowed to embarrass Castagnoli and take his title at the pay-per-view.
Tony Khan then officially announced the match for the pay-per-view.
