We hear from Jon Moxley, who says that the MJF campaign is amusing to him and fun TV, and while MJF has said some bad things about him, it does not bother him. He then says that MJF missed a lot of the good and that he should talk to his wife, because she will give him a two-page list of all his faults and problems. While it does not bother him, he says that people who feel the need to talk about themselves all the time rub him the wrong way, as where he comes from, the toughest guys usually don't have to say much or hide behind words, and MJF talks a lot. He says that it makes him wonder what MJF is hiding, and while MJF might be the future of the business due to being talented in every way and he wants MJF to fulfill his potential and be the man to lead AEW for the next years as he gets out of bed not knowing if he has 18 months left in his career, going so far as to tell MJF to move out of his parents' basement, lose his virginity and become a world champion. He then says the day he becomes world champion will not be September 5th, as he will beat the hell out of him. He then says that at All Out, he will be in heaven while MJF will be looking for a way out while the world finally finds out what MJF is hiding.
We hear from MJF, who says that Genghis Khan, Fidel Castro and Napoleon were all "homicidal maniacs" who pale in comparison to "Dictator John." He talks about how Jon Moxley attacked him from behind "like a gutless coward" and that Moxley is too afraid to try it from the front. He says that Moxley's actions have put him in a neck brace, and that he wants to have a family and kids but won't be able to do because Moxley mangled him. He says that the Paradigm Shift is not a move, but an abomination. Mark Sterling, MJF's attorney, then states that the Paradigm Shift is not just a dangerous move, but also deadly, and that the move ended MJF's career. He then asks whose career Moxley might end next, then says the campaign has put up a petition online last week calling for a ban on the Paradigm Shift, and that the petition has netted five million signatures. He then announces that he and a team of lawyers have made it so that the Paradigm Shift has been banned in MJF's match for the AEW World Championship at All Out, and that Moxley has no reason not to sign at as he is "a badass" and "a man of the people." He also says that if Moxley does not sign the contract, he will sue Moxley so hard that he will have to part his hair to poop. Sterling then states that his firm has not lost and that they will take everything from Moxley before MJF takes his title.
The Natural Nightmares ("The Natural" Dustin Rhodes and QT Marshall) and Jurassic Express (Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy) beat The Lucha Bros. (Pentagon Jr. and Rey Fenix), The Butcher and The Blade after The Blade pushes Pentagon Jr. into a schoolkid pin by Jungle Boy as they argue. After the match, The Butcher and The Blade argue with The Lucha Bros in the ring, then Eddie Kingston shows up and tells everyone to calm down before questioning why none of them are successful and that they are beaten when they are defeated when he has known them for years and knows they are good and they are capable of more. He then tells the four of them to walk with him, and that everything they want will be theirs. Both parties then make up and become a united faction under Eddie Kingston.
We hear from Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D., who is interrupted by "Superbad" Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford making out. He warns them that streptococcus is transmitted via saliva, and offers them her "Couples' Special:" free dental care for a year. She says that if they want it, Penelope Ford has to help her and Reba in a handicap match against Big Swole and make her put her money where her mouth is. Britt also throws in Reba doing Penelope's make-up for a year for free. Penelope accepts.
Tony Schiavone interviews Orange Cassidy and Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent) in the ring. After Schiavone congratulates Cassidy on his win against Chris Jericho last week, Jericho shows up. Jericho congratulates Cassidy for beating him last week, as he has only been pinned three times since the first episode of Dynamite and one of them has been to Cassidy. He says that while it is embarrassing on the surface, he is proud of Cassidy, as he has proved that he is learning from him and proved his haters and critics that he has heart, desire, courage and what it takes to be a main event superstar in AEW. Jericho then wants to give Cassidy a toast, but proposes that they have a third match to see who the better man truly is, and given that he came up with the Money In The Bank Ladder Match, he wants to come up with a unique match. He then proposes that they have a "Mimosa Mayhem Match," a match where 80 gallons of orange juice is mixed with 500 bottles of A Little Bit Of The Bubbly and the only ways to win are via pinfall, submission or being tossed into a vat of mimosa, at All Out. After a video package explaining the match, Cassidy accepts the challenge with a thumbs up. Jericho tells Cassidy the right decision, then says he wants the rest of The Inner Circle to join him. The rest of The Inner Circle surround the ring for a toast, then Jericho sics The Inner Circle on Best Friends and Cassidy, also pouring A Little Bit Of The Bubbly on Cassidy afterwards.
The Elite (Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, Kenny Omega) beat The Dark Order (Alex "3" Reynolds, John "4" Silver and Alan "5" Angels). After the match, Kenny Omega is about to powerbomb Alan Angels into a steel chair, but Matt and Nick stop him from doing it by pulling the chair away.
Backstage, Marvez interviews Tully Blanchard and FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler), who will be in a Gauntlet Tag Team Match that starts with #4 ranked The Natural Nightmares ("The Natural" Dustin Rhodes vs. #3 ranked The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), with whoever wins going up against #2 Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent). The winner of that will face #1 ranked FTR. Wheeler says that FTR wants to be the best, and that if they want to be the best, they must learn from the best in Blanchard. Blanchard says it is all about crossing the threshold and becoming the best, which is where FTR is destined to be in the gauntlet match. He then says that the tag team title match at All Out is the path, then "Hangman" Adam Page shows up and confronts FTR for their actions last week. FTR ask Page to calm down and say that last week has nothing to do with him, and that The Rock 'N Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson) turned their back on them and disrespected them. Harwood says that he had to see if FTR could trust The Elite as well as him, then asks Page what will happen if The Young Bucks face him and Kenny Omega at All Out, beat them and put him back in their shadows. Harwood then says the most important thing is winning the gauntlet match and facing a man they respect in Page as well as Omega.
Darby Allin beats Will Hobbes. After the match, Taz gets on the microphone and says that Team Taz is flourishing and that they have a new member: "Darby," who is really "Absolute" Ricky Starks dressed like Darby Allin. Starks says it is not every day you can live your dreams, but it is every day he can live his nightmares, and for that, nobody likes him. He says that he likes skateboarding, cuddles and being reckless and stomping a man's back, shredding it with thumbtacks on his skateboard, because life is a joke to him. This is just a distraction so that "The Machine" Brian Cage can attack Darby from behind with the FTW Championship before Stark splashes water on him and tells him that he is a joke, and that he does not need facepaint to be somebody or be better than him. He then says life is a joke and that Darby is the biggest joke of all before he and Cage attack Darby again, with Starks hitting Darby with a Coffin Drop.
During the commercial break, Sammy Guevara mocks Matt Hardy with a bunch of signs like he did last week, but he is attacked from behind with a steel chair by Matt Hardy, who then throws Guevara off the stage and into a table. Referees have to stop Matt Hardy before he can attack Guevara further.
We hear from Thunder Rosa, who says that she is here to bring the women's division to the next level and take the AEW Women's World Championship from Hikaru Shida.
Ivelisse and Diamante beat The Nightmare Sisters (Brandi Rhodes and Allie) to win the Women's Tag Team Tournament. When presented with the Women's Tag Team Cup, Ivelisse and Diamante do away with the flowers and display the flags of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.

Brodie Lee decimates "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes from start to finish to become the AEW TNT Champion! After the match, members of the production crew check on Cody while The Dark Order show up to celebrate. Tony Schiavone interviews Brodie Lee, who says that nobody believed in him or The Dark Order, then says he is now a problem for AEW. He says that with the TNT Championship comes the power and the say-so, and that The Dark Order is at the top as Cody is helped onto a board. Brodie Lee says that executives like Schiavone gave him no chance and kept him down, and when he got the chance, he knocked it out of the park. Brodie Lee then tells Schiavone to get out of the ring as Cody is placed on a stretcher. Cody gives the thumbs up, then The Dark Order approach Cody and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson. When Anderson fights off The Dark Order, The Dark Order attacks Anderson and surround Cody's stretcher, then topple Cody off the side as they harass referees and security. Brodie Lee then hits Cody in the head with a black bag with what seems to be a metal object inside, then lifts the TNT Championship up while The Dark Order bring out QT Marshall and "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes. Brandi Rhodes gets on top of Cody to protect her, but Brodie Lee sics Anna Jay on Brandi, and Anna Jay chokes Brandi out in a rear naked choke. Brodie Lee then pours the contents of the black bag out: the old, unfinished version of the AEW TNT Championship, which is now broken and what Brodie Lee declares is now Cody's while the newer, finished TNT title is now his.
Here are the top five moments from tonight's show!
