"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes shows up. He talks about how he asked MJF what it would take to get a match with him last week, and we see the stipulations for their match at Revolution: Cody cannot touch MJF until the event, Cody must take ten lashes on live television and Cody must have a steel cage match against Wardlow. Cody says that the steel cage match surprises him, as he has been in a number of tag team and factions with someone being jealous of their success, and says that MJF should be carrying Wardlow's bags, not the other way around. As for the ten lashes on live television, he says that MJF is mistaken if he thinks ten lashes will soften him up. Cody then says he does not have to touch MJF, as he lives rent-free in his head and he and everyone knows that MJF if stalling, saying that MJF clings onto minute Internet fame from other wrestling veterans who says that MJF is a true, old-school heel. He then says that MJF is lazy and incapable of doing more, then accepts all of the stipulations. Cody then says he has failed as a mentor to MJF, but he will teach MJF one more lesson: MJF is not the hero of his own story, and that MJF is but a chapter in his and that he will give him his own scar.
We hear from "The Bad Boy" Joey Janela, who says that 2020 was a clean slate for him until Penelope Ford hit him with a low blow. He says that he told Penelope that he wanted nothing to do with her, but the only way Penelope could create buzz for herself is on his name, and now Penelope is walking around like she is hot stuff with "Superbad" Kip Sabian. He says that if Kip wants to play, he can play. He then says that his record last year wasn't where it was supposed to be, but next week, he has Rey Fenix is a match, and he has something to prove as part of the backbone of All Elite Wrestling. He says that something needs to change, and next week, he will show Rey Fenix why everyone calls him "a bad, bad boy."
Kris Statlander and Hikaru Shida beat The Nightmare Collective (Brandi Rhodes and Melanie Cruise, now known as just Mel).
We see a vignette where The Dark Order (Evil Uno and Stu Grayson) have targeted Michael Nakazawa, Brandon Cutler and "Hangman" Adam Page as potential prospects as part of their plan to cast doubt on The Elite and show that The Elite will never be as powerful as The Dark Order.
Jon Moxley beats Sammy Guevara with a rear naked choke to advance to a #1 contender's match for the AEW World Championship next week. After the match, Chris Jericho's music hits, then the lights go out. When they come back on, the rest of The Inner Circle (Chris Jericho, Santana, Ortiz, Jake Hager) are in the ring, and they gang up on Moxley. As The Inner Circle attacks Moxley, Jericho takes one of the spikes from his jacket, removes it, and then spikes it into one of Moxley's eyes, blinding him. Referees run in to check on Moxley afterwards.
Backstage, Chris Jericho says that what happened tonight was Jon Moxley's fault, as The Inner Circle offered him the keys to the kingdom, but Moxley signed his own death warrant. He says that his reckless abandon is what got him into this position, and says that the winner of PAC vs. will go straight to a match with him while The Inner Circle continues to embarrass Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy, Marko Stunt, Luchasaurus).

PAC then tells Chris Jericho that he is coming for him, then it is revealed that Jon Moxley is refusing medical help as he kicks his way out of an ambulance with a bandage around his injured eye. Moxley tells PAC that he will be there next week to kick PAC's ass, as the title shot belongs to him.
