Jeff Hardy shows up. Jeff says he has not felt this good in a long time, and that the last few months with Sheamus have been tough, as he has been a constant reminder of how dangerous his demons can be.

Jeff says he is more than an alcoholic and that he loves to perform in the ring for everyone, and that the love of family and friends has gotten him here. He says that his love makes him not want to let everyone down ever again, and that he is grateful to be alive and well today on SmackDown. Suddenly, King Corbin shows up. Corbin says his head will explode if he continues to hear about Jeff's sobriety, and says that Jeff is just whining and crying about recovery. He says that Jeff's life sucks and that he should shut up and deal with it. Corbin says he is losing his mind as he is looking for a Matt Riddle who cannot find his shoes and that he has a match with Drew Gulak, and that his kingdom is turning into an insane asylum. Jeff tells Corbin the problem is him, not those around him.

Backstage, Sheamus says the mistake he made in fighting Jeff Hardy in a bar was fighting Jeff Hardy in a bar, as he gave him home field advantage. He says that Jeff was fueled by alcohol despite not one drop touching his lips. He calls last week's bar fight "a handicap match," then says what's done is done and that it is only a matter of time before nature takes its course, as Jeff is not his problem anymore and that is bad for the locker room, because he is now their problem.

Before the next match, Lacey Evans says if people want to feel sorry for Naomi so badly, she will make them feel sorry for her tonight.

Naomi beats Lacey Evans with a backslide pin after blocking the Woman's Right.

MJF thanks Tony Khan for giving him time to speak to the fans, then says he is never spotlighted two weeks in a row is because a certain someone is scared of being upstaged two weeks in a row. MJF says it is time for change, and says that a guy on the top of the company who is able to do whatever he wants after making his career in the "place of Titans" is "old hat." He says that AEW turned from a revolution to a dictator, and because of that, Jon Moxley is not his champion. MJF says he will not stand her and pretend that Moxley is one of the greatest wrestlers the business has ever seen, but he says that a discussion about the negative things that have occurred since the Moxley ever started is needed. MJF says there is no wrestling and more people flipping around, and that the fans have been brainwashed to believe that flipping around is equal to good wrestling. He says that Jon Moxley should not be allowing this kind of "play wrestling" and that he should not be imitating a certain wrestler. MJF says he is a real wrestler and he is undefeated, and that Jon Moxley is treated well because of the name value he has and the ratings he brings, then says he draws better numbers than Moxley ever does and that Moxley does not want the fans to know that, as MJF is supposedly not on his level. He says that AEW is supposed to be the land of opportunity, but the old guard has squandered that. MJF says he can catch the company and carry it to the top because his talent outweighs Moxley's tenure, and says he will lead the company for the next 25 years. MJF promises he will not stop until AEW is a true alternative and the pinnacle of professional wrestling. MJF then announces that he will challenge Moxley for the AEW World Championship at All Out.

Starks says he is young, handsome and successful and that he was recruited by Tazz because he knew there was something different in him. He says that when someone who choked out an Olympic gold medalist tells him to "go get 'im," he's got them, and tonight will be no different. Starks says that Darby Allin is loved because of his enigma, but Starks says he is dressed like Pigpen and wrestles like a crash test dummy, and says there is a stark contrast between the two of them. Starks says people can try to stop them, but if they try hard, they will die hard, and he is about to dig two graves tonight. When Cage and Stars come out to the stage, they are taken out with a Coffin Drop from Darby Allin from above and out of seemingly nowhere.

Darby Allin and Jon Moxley beat "The Machine" Brian Cage and "Absolute" Ricky Starks after Allin stomps a skateboard with thumbtacks on the underside into Starks' back while Moxley has Cage in the cross arm breaker.

Orton then says he knows what is missing, and that he needs to become WWE Champion again. He says that Drew McIntyre pales in comparison to him and that he "had his head so far up his ass that he got fired" before coming back. He admits that McIntyre has his respect after beating Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship, but warns McIntyre that he has what he wants and that he has a tendency to take stuff he wants from people in the biggest way possible.

He says that every time the greater good takes two step forwards, someone gets in the way and he is forced to take a step back, and someone has to get hurt every step of the way, mentioning that Aleister Black has injured his arm. Rollins says he does not want to be "the person who hurts people," because that is not who he is. He says that last time Dominick confronted him, he attacked him from behind and things got more violent than he preferred. He then says tonight will be different, and asks that Dominick confront him face-to-face so they can talk things out. Dominick shows up, and Rollins asks him to step into the ring. Dominick slowly steps into the ring, and Rollins gives him the chance to get something off his chest. Rollins tells him that he is here for him if he cannot articulate his feeling into words, then tries to hug him. Dominick tackles Rollins instead. This leads to a brawl where Rollins and Murphy gang up on Dominick and throw him into the barricade multiple times before throwing him into the announce table. The steel steps then catch Rollins' eye, and as he is about to sacrifice Dominick, Aleister Black shows up and attacks Rollins. Aleister Black is attacked and his arm targeted, and Murphy takes him down with a high knee. Rollins then hits Aleister with The Stomp, then commands Murphy to sacrifice Aleister. Murphy grabs Aleister, then shoves Aleister's right eye into the corner of the steel steps. Rollins then commands Murphy to find Dominick. At this point, Dominick is back on his feet, and he forces Rollins and Murphy to retreat with a Kendo stick.

Ali says he is happy to be back with the opportunity to climb the ladder and become a real champion. MVP gives Ali credit for his talent and says it can happen if he makes the right decisions and hangs with the right people. Ali says he is not interested in joining him and that he has always thought for himself, but MVP tells him he is not thinking clearly, especially when he has a match with Bobby Lashley. MVP says that Apollo Crews went down a similar path and is now injured and sitting at home, and gives Ali the choice of either being a champion with "the hurt business" or he can be chum in the water for predators. Ali says "no," and as he speaks, R-Truth runs in and tackles Shelton Benjamin before running away after a failed pinfall attempt.

Bayley and Sasha Banks show up. Sasha says nobody likes a bully and that there is no bigger bully than Stephanie McMahon, who says he is jealous of her and Bayley and is forcing her to defend the Raw Women's Championship due to their dominance in the company. Bayley says that they are the show and that they always do the right thing, and when Asuka inadvertently blinded the referee at Extreme Rules, she took the referee's shirt to make the three count and says any good role model would have done the same thing. Sasha says that she and Bayley have done what they said they would do, and Bayley says that tonight, Sasha will make "The Empress of Nothing" Asuka tap out. When The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) show up, Kairi chases Bayley to the back.

Sasha Banks beats Asuka by count-out to become WWE Raw Women's Champion! (The championship could also change hands on a disqualification in this match.) During the match, Bayley attacks Kairi Sane backstage, and the attack is shown on the TitanTron. Asuka is forced to choose saving Kairi Sane over defending the championship, causing Sasha to win the match and the title.

He says that every person Cody has faced is a child while he is "a grown-ass man" who will put him in the ground and smile.

Taz and "The Machine" Brian Cage show up. Taz says he and Cage had a very difficult week full of heated arguments and discussions in which Cage almost fired him. Taz says he threw in the towel last week because the longer Jon Moxley had Cage in an arm bar - which Taz admits was "legit awesome" - the more likely Cage's bicep would be torn a second time, with Taz saying he has been there before. Taz says that Cage will never be in that position again, as Cage did not tap out and will not tap out, because he is not wired to. He says that Cage is FTW Champion because he has "an FTW mindset," then Darby Allin shows up only to be blindsided by "Absolute" Ricky Starks. Starks and Cage attack Allin again.

Brodie tells Page he has made his bed and that he hopes he enjoys sleeping in it. Brodie and Colt leave, then the rest of The Dark Order surround Page.

He says that Slammiversary trended worldwide because of them, and they became the talk of the wrestling world. Anderson says they are not only the best tag team in the world, but the best big man and the best wrestler in the world. After Anderson says that they turned the wrestling world upside down, Gallows says there is a reason Impact's Internet shop sold out of Good Brothers were quickly sold out, and after plugging "Talk 'N Shop-A-Mania," he says they don't need a "Too Sweet" these days. The two of them are about to have a beer in the ring when Ace Austin and Madman Fulton show up. Austin says he will forgive The Good Brothers for Saturday, as he knows they want to make a statement with their grand entrance, and gives them a chance to apologize as he and Fulton are "the guys" around here.

We hear from Rob Van Dam and Katie Forbes. RVD says there have been a lot of changes lately. Forbes says she hates wearing clothes and she was punishing herself and not the fans. She also plugs her website, and says we will see some more of her next week.

Rhino quickly beats Hernandez with a single Gore.

Backstage, we hear from The North ("All Ego" Ethan Page and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander). Alexander asks when they get to celebrate, as they have etched their names as the best tag team in Impact history, as they dominated the tag team division. Page says that was until The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) disagreed with them, and says that while they may have changed the game back then, their words are opinion, and they have held the tag team titles for over a year. Page says that the Machine Guns' opinion will be beaten by their fact tonight.

We see a vignette for a masked wrestler in a hoodie.

We see a video package where we hear from the victors of Slammiversary's matches from Saturday.

Backstage, Deonna Purrazzo refuses to divulge her plans, and says she is the best technical women's wrestler in the world. She says that with Jordynne Grace's shoulders separated, she has no competition right now. Kylie Rae shows up and says she looks forward to facing her for the Knockouts Championship after becoming #1 contender in a Knockouts Gauntlet Match. When Deonna offers to shake her hand after saying she looks forward to it, she pulls her hand back and tries to break it. This starts a brawl that is quickly broken up.

Eddie Edwards shows up. Eddie says that being the Impact World Champion feels right, and mentions that his journey for the last few years has brought him back to the title. He says that this journey is over and that it is time for a new journey to begin, then says that stability has been missing for the last few months. Eddie says he plans to be a champion that everyone can be proud of. He says that the only thing harder than becoming champion is staying champion, and says that there have only been a few title defenses this year and the last title defense was five months ago. Eddie says this will change, and that he will defend the title each and every week against anybody deserving of a shot, then says he is proof that anything is possible. He says that he will bring credibility and stability to the title, then Eric Young shows up. Eddie tells Eric that the only thing he deserves is a good old-fashioned ass kicking, but Eric calls Eddie pathetic and says he has no sway or power in the fate of the World Championship going forward, as Impact Wrestling belongs to him. He also tells Eddie that he should be thanking him for targeting Rich Swann and not him, as those who stand in between him and what he deserves will get broken. Eric says that none of Eddie's hard work matters, and that they are talking about the World Championship mattering only because he made it so. Eddie dives into Eric Young and attacks him, and referees have to break up the brawl.

Backstage, Moose says he will not be a fighting champion like Eddie Edwards, as his title is the most prestigious in the world and that one must receive an invitation to a title shot to get one. Moose says that Fallah Bahh will get his invitation tonight, and tells Fallah Bahh that he will see him in the ring.

Backstage, Eddie Edwards says that Impact Wrestling has the best wrestlers in the world and that he is willing to defend against anyone. Suddenly, Trey Miguel shows up and propose that they have a World title match next week. Eddie accepts.

Moose retains the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against Fallah Bahh after raking his eyes to get out of the Samoan Drop prior to hitting No Jackhammer Needed to retain the title. After the match, Ethan Carter III shows up out of nowhere and hits Moose with a reverse DDT.

Outside of the arena, Ace Austin and Madman Fulton mock The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson), who are then attacked from behind by Reno Scum (Adam Thornstowe and Luster the Legend). The Good Brothers turn the tables on them, then Austin and Fulton speed off.

Backstage, Rosemary and John E. Bravo head to John E.'s place. Rosemary asks John E. Bravo what he could have out of anything in the world, then Taya Valkyrie shows up. Rosemary - knowing that Taya loves a good party - summons some of the Impact Wrestling roster to the house with a snap of their fingers, then Crazzy Steve starts looking around until he finds a camera and says that this is the craziest reality show ever. We then find out that "Wrestle House" starts next week.

Next week: The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) vs. Reno Scum (Adam Thornstowe and Luster the Legend)! Trey Miguel vs. Eddie Edwards for the Impact World Championship!

The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) beat The North ("All Ego" Ethan Page and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander) to become Impact World Tag Team Champions, ending The North's reign at 382 days.

The show ends with Heath sneaking into the arena after Jimmy Jacobs makes his way in.
