Don Callis and "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher heads to the ring to start tonight's show. They are soon joined by Will Ospreay. Fletcher says it has been two years since he and Ospreay have had a one-on-one conversation, when he stood in the ring in the same building they are in tonight and shaved his head, and that so much has happened since then. He mentions Ospreay getting married, getting neck surgery, and coming back to win the AEW World Championship, then says he himself has won the TNT Championship twice, the Trios Championships and the International Championship. Fletcher calls Ospreay the catalyst for this path and thanks him, admitting it was not possible because of Ospreay. Ospreay admits this was not the encounter he expected, especially after next week, and that he has kept his eye on Fletcher, too. Ospreay admits that he is proud of Fletcher and hopes that Fletcher can say the same for him, but Fletcher tells Ospreay that he would not change a thing and he would attack him like he did again. Fletcher mentions Ospreay's spinal fusion surgery and going after Jon Moxley for retribution when he knew it was him who broke his neck in the first place when he dropped him on his neck multiple times in multiple ways. Fletcher then demands that Ospreay credit him as the one who broke his neck, and Ospreay admits that Fletcher was responsible for the most excruciating ten months of his life when he wrestled with one arm. Ospreay still cannot figure out how he did this, and states that he did not want to let anyone down after being seven months into the first year of his AEW contract, and that he only got through it because of the opening beats of his entrance theme and fan support. He even states that when they were in Australia, the fans were cheering him over Fletcher, and thanks to them, he had to fight like his life was on the line and prove to the wrestling world that "we run this shit." Ospreay also calls the "Ospreay, Ospreay" part of the bridge - which Fletcher cut off - a call to arms, as he is fighting for legacy, then reminds Fletcher that he has beaten him twice and he is 100% again and operating on a level no one can replicate. He asks Fletcher if he wants to face him after what he has recently accomplished, especially at All In and in Clockwork Carnage, then plays a clip from his All In entrance where he encountered Fletcher and Mark Davis. Ospreay asks Fletcher what he felt at that moment, and Fletcher says he felt absolutely nothing. Ospreay tells Fletcher that he is a bad liar, and says that Fletcher and Davis felt regret and wanted to be ringside with him. Fletcher goes off and says he felt jealous, as the man he hated most achieved his dream and the fairytale he wanted his entire life. He then states that jealous feeling did not last long, because when he realized what was going to happen, he knew he would be the man to take it all away. Fletcher says he knew he would be the man who would take Ospreay's crowning achievement for himself, but Ospreay says that Fletcher is still lying and that they could have put their differences aside and fight for the greatest title in all of wrestling, and deep down, he knows Fletcher still loves him. Fletcher accuses Ospreay of manipulating his words and that everyone will realize that he is a master manipulator just like he and Davis did, especially his wife and son, and if his son does not, he and Davis will make sure his son does. Fletcher says that at Full Gear, there is only hatred, and he is going to take everything from Will Ospreay. Ospreay tells Fletcher that he has improved dramatically and is one of the best wrestlers in AEW right now, but they do not stand on equal footing. He says that they have wrestled six times, with him winning five and Fletcher winning once two years ago, and that the killer instinct he had to show Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega will now be pointed at Fletcher. He tells Fletcher he will pull the trigger, the lights will go out on Fletcher, and he will stand over him with the AEW World Championship, for when it comes to the two of them, he will always have the high ground. As Ospreay tells Fletcher that he is on another level, Fletcher slaps him in the face, and Ospreay simply finishes his sentence while Fletcher tries and fails to get under his skin.

He says the Trios titles will be on the line, but it is about something more for Swerve. Hangman admits that it is not the fear of Texas Death, but the lack of understanding about it. Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) show up, and Hangman states that they want and need Texas Death, and he will cast aside any hesitation and walk with them into the mouth of Hell. Brody King says he understands Hangman's hesitation, but for years, hate was his worth, but Bandido showed him a different way to talk.
