Kenny Omega beats Trent to a near-time limit draw.
Hikaru Shida beats the debuting Anna Jayy.
We see a video package chronicling the history Jake Hager's attack on Jon Moxley from AEW Dark. Moxley and Hager will square off in an Empty Arena No Holds Barred Match for the AEW World Championship in two weeks
Colt Cabana replaces "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes on commentary.
Before the next match, we see footage of Jake "The Snake" Roberts stating that Lance Archer is going to destroy whatever AEW has cooked up for him tonight and that AEW is only delaying the inevitable, as there are some people who should not be made mad. He feels that "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes is either smarter than he gave him credit for to be scared, or Brandi Rhodes - who is "wearing the pants" - is telling him not to go.
Lance Archer beats Marko Stunt in his AEW debut. Before the match - which begins and ends as a destructive blowout - Archer takes out a member of medical staff on his way to the ring. After the match, Archer throws Marko over the barricade and into two wrestlers sitting nearby.
We hear from Brodie Lee, who talks with The Dark Order as he welcomes the viewers to The Dark Order. He says that they know how everyone feels during these trying times, as he was once beaten down and downtrodden but is now The Exalted One. He asks a member of The Dark Order to stand next to him, and aggressively insists on being called "Mr. Brodie" before telling him to say "We are one." Another member yawns in his presence, and Brodie Lee chews him out for yawning in his presence, as tiredness shows weakness, and warns him not to yawn in his presence before telling him to leave the room. (This is supposedly another dig at Vince McMahon.)
The Natural Nightmares ("The Natural" Dustin Rhodes and QT Marshall) beat The Dark Order (8 and 9). After the match, Brodie Lee shows up, but instead of confronting The Natural Nightmare, he gets in the ring and powerbombs one member of The Dark Order in front of the other one.
We hear from Chris Jericho from the hot tub outside of his home, proclaiming that today is a holiday and that he has never met a bigger group of fools in his life than The Elite. As he makes fun of each member, Vanguard-1 approaches Chris Jericho's home. Jericho apologizes as only he can to Vanguard-1 for things he said to him last week, and offers the drone another chance at The Inner Circle, complete with a tiny Inner Circle shirt. Vanguard-1 then flies away, and Jericho unleashes a group of small dogs to chase after Vanguard-1.
Next week: Shawn Spears vs. "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes in the TNT Championship Tournament! In two weeks: Lance Archer vs. Colt Cabana in the TNT Championship Tournament!
We hear from The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson). Matt has brought a wrestling ring to Nick, who says that he has no memory of who attacked him backstage or even being in an ambulance before practicing in the ring. He says that it is hard to say when he will return, but he will get ready for an in-ring return until then, and that nothing can be taken for granted. When Matt asks Nick if he is ready to get back in the ring, Nick says "Not yet."
Sammy Guevara and Shawn Spears beat "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes and Darby Allin after Guevara brings a steel chain into the match for Shawn Spears. When Darby Allin takes it away from him, Guevara takes it from Darby Allin, allowing Spears to win the match for his team with a schoolkid pin to Allin. During the match, Guevara and Spears bet money on how long they can keep Darby Allin in a delayed vertical suplex, Cody Rhodes is attacked by a few wrestlers acting as audience members when he is thrown over the guardrail, and Darby Allin hits Guevara and Spears with a Coffin Drop off the top of a pole in the arena to the outside. After the match, Darby Allin violently shoves Cody to the mat.
