During the match, it is mentioned that "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes is injured following his match last week against Brodie Lee and that he will be out for some time.

After the commercial break, Jake "The Snake" Roberts talks about the Casino Battle Royal, saying that twenty other men will go in thinking they have a chance of winning and that Lance Archer will be the only one walking out. He says that Lance Archer's loss has cost them time and that this is his chance to make up for it. Lance says that he will take everyone out, then Roberts says that the battle royal is like a wood chipper: a log goes in, and confetti comes out. As Roberts continues to put Archer on a pedestal, Tazz, "The Machine" Brian Cage and "Absolute" Ricky Starks show up. Tazz says he and Roberts have never crossed path, then says that a member of Team Tazz will win the battle royal. Roberts says that Cage and Starks will be plucked, and Tazz says that one of his men will win at All Out. Suddenly, Darby Allin shows up on his skateboard and drop kicks Starks out of his shoes before attacking him. Allin's and Starks' brawl goes to the back, and Roberts has to keep Archer from attacking Cage.

We see a video package for Hikaru Shida vs. Thunder Rosa.
MJF heads to the ring with his campaign committee. MJF heads to the ring with his campaign committee. Jon Moxley heads to the ring with a copy of the contract for their match from the stands. MJF signs the contract, as does Moxley. MJF says that everyone has seen a contract signing before and that they usually end in conflict, and as much as he would like to slap Moxley in the face for what he did to him, he will not do it. He says that unlike Moxley, he is not an animal and he can separate business from emotion, and tells Moxley to practice social distancing like his hairline. Moxley tells MJF he'll get there one day; he just has to hit puberty first. MJF tells Moxley that he is not a smart man, then says that people have been clamoring for their match before saying he never got the hype for Moxley, as he viewed him as a "one-trick pony." He then realized he was wrong about him and says that Moxley was "good...real good" after Mike Tyson pointed at Moxley and stated he did not want to be in a dark alley with him. MJF says taht nobody would like to be in that kind of danger, either, but at All Out, they will be in a wrestling ring, not a dark alley, and bad neck or not, Moxley will be the one in danger. MJF states he is a pro wrestling prodigy, and states that at All Out, he will systematically and concisely take Moxley apart and use every single part of the ring to his advance with the same steady hands and consistency as a brain surgeon. He then says that Moxley will panic as he is "a glorified goon" and not a wrestler, and that Moxley will not get him outside of the ring and into his territory, which is all he knows after idolizing guys like The Sandman, New Jack and John Zandig. He calls those men "hot garbage," and says he studied the "Ernie Ladds and Tully Blanchards of the world" and has too high of an in-ring IQ for Moxley to handle as he beats Moxley like the dog that he is. He states that Moxley's fans will be calling ASPCA, but it will be too late when he wears "pretty platinum" and becomes AEW World Champion, as the fans deserve better. He then says that if Moxley thinks he is better than him, then says he does not understand why Moxley needs the Paradigm Shift. MJF then questions Moxley's manhood and states Moxley knows he is not man enough to beat him without him, and if he isn't, Moxley might as well tell his wife MJF is single. Moxley stands up, and MJF's lawyer tells him to sit down and sign the paper or else he will sue. Moxley says he does not need the Paradigm Shift, but he does want to dump MJF on his head multiple times. He says that by banning the Paradigm Shift, MJF is only forcing him to get creative on how to hurt him and it only makes the match more interesting. He then signs the contract, but not before telling MJF that nothing MJF says matters and nothing he signs matters. He then tells MJF that at All Out, he is a dead man. MJF screams and calls Moxley an idiot, and his lawyer says this is the stupidest thing he ever did. Moxley then mentions page 17 of the contract. MJF and the lawyer - now suddenly taken aback - look at the contract, and Moxley states that next week, there will be a tune-up match between Moxley and the lawyer, and if the lawyer does not show up, MJF gets no title shot at All Out. The Paradigm Shift will also be legal during next week's match.

The Dark Order show up on the stage with a casket. Evil Uno says he has never been so happy, that Stu Grayson purchased two of the most beautiful vehicles on his dream list and that Brodie Lee bought six of the most exceptional lawnmowers known to man. Evil Uno then states that the casket is there for them to symbolically put Cody to rest, and when they open the casket, 10 is there with a fake Cody Rhodes tattoo and jacket. They then "bury' Cody to bury a prince and make way for a newking. They then bring out Brodie Lee, who shows up with Anna Jay and the AEW TNT Championship. Brodie Lee then has Tony Schiavone join him and The Dark Order in the ring for an in-ring interview. Brodie Lee asks Schiavone to look back to December, when he and The Dark Order were laughed off by the fans, then says he does what he says he will set out to do and that he took the TNT Championship like he said we would. He says that there is a lot of symbolism here, as The Dark Order has buried The Nightmare Family. He says there will be no open challenge, and that "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes will never get the title back. He then introduces Anna Jay as the newest member of The Dark Order. When John Silver sings Brodie Lee's praises, Lee smacks him, then says there is nobody who can touch him and that he is the hottest champion in wrestling. Suddenly, The Natural Nightmares ("The Natural" Dustin Rhodes and QT Marshall) run into the ring and attack The Dark Order, but they are easily outnumbered. Scorpio Sky then shows up and takes on The Dark Order, and he soon has Brodie Lee alone in the ring. Anna Jay slaps Scorpio in the face and Brodie Lee lays him out with a clothesline, then The Dark Order goes back on the attack until Matt Cardona shows up and joins The Natural Nightmares and Scorpio Sky in clearing The Dark Order out of the ring.
Backstage, Dasha interviews "Hangman" Adam Page at the bar. He is soon confronted by The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) for costing them a tag team match, then call him a drunk and a jobber to his face for his actions before kicking him out of The Elite. They then slam the door behind them so hard that the glass on the door shatters.
