He says that O'Reilly may become the Continental Champion, but he is not the same man he was six months ago.

Gunther says that this is his deal and his title match, and that the Undisputed WWE Championship will be his title. Gunther tells Cody to be professional, address him nicely and say "please." Cody reminds Gunther that he is the one to get the drop on him, got a favor from "The Oracle" Paul Heyman, and refused to sign last week. He says that Gunther is making it weird and that he will make it simple, and tells him to sign the contract so he can guarantee himself an ass whipping at Clash in Italy, remembering to say "please" in the process.

She announces that Maclin is cleared to return to the ring, and that they will have a title rematch next week.

Joe says that Ospreay could have had a bye in the tournament and been in a group that enhances each other by joining The Opps, but he chose differently and became "a lap dog for Jon Moxley" in The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir). Joe says Ospreay will pay for that decision and that he will leave Ospreay in peace before his moment with destiny, then says Shibata and Bowens are still slighted and that he does not put leashes on his friends.

During the match, El Clon distracts the referee so that Don Callis can hand the Dynamite Diamond Ring to Takeshita, who refuses to use it as a weapon. After the match, Darby Allin calls out MJF so that he can sign the contract for his match. A table with a microphone and the contract on top of it is brought into the match, as well as two chairs as MJF heads to the ring. MJF hesitates to sign the contract, then tells Darby that he hopes he had fun holding the AEW World Championship, as a small part of him feels bad because Darby will never hold the AEW World Championship again. He says that "stuntmen who burn the candle at both ends" like Darby are a dime a dozen and that one's legacy is all that matters, and that Darby's legacy is having his fifteen minutes of fame and making no impact in professional wrestling. MJF says that Darby will be known as "a little prick who got lucky" and was too reckless and stupid to stay on top, and after Double or Nothing, he will go down as a three-time AEW World Champion at thirty years of age and go down as the greatest of all time. He says that Darby brags about climbing a mountaintop, then says that he is the mountaintop. Darby says that MJF is vain for caring only about legacy, for he lives in the moments, and tells MJF to sign the contract so he can make him "a bald-headed bitch." MJF signs the contract, then attacks Darby before knocking him out with the Dynamite Diamond Ring and lifting up the AEW World Championship while standing over Darby. MJF considers heading to the back, but gets back in the ring and nearly hits a Tombstone Piledriver off the middle rope before "The Jet" Kevin Knight rushes in and chases MJF out of the ring.
