Rey Fenix beats Chuck Taylor. During the match, Alex Abrahantes shows up with Penta el Zero M, but he is confronted by Orange Cassidy. Penta superkicks Orange as referees show up, but that allows Rey Fenix to win with a crucifix pin on a distracted Chuck Taylor.

"The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth beats Ryzin following the distraction by "Pretty" Peter Avalon.

Orange Cassidy beats Dean Alexander.

We hear from "Pretty" Peter Avalon, "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth and Cezar Bononi. Nemeth celebrates his victory tonight and says are looking up for them now that Avalon is back. JD Drake shows up in one of the shirts, much to the delight of everyone else, and Avalon unfastens one of the buttons.

The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster and Anthony Bowens) beat Liam Gray and Adrian Alanis.

We hear from Alex "3" Reynolds and Alan "5" Angels. Reynolds says they have a big tag team match tonight, and while Angels is not John "4" Silver, he has faith in him. Angels says that Scorpio Sky grabbed the brass ring and did nothing with it, and that "All Ego" Ethan Page did nothing after making a wordlwide debut, while Reynolds says that they have done nothing but whining and that they will give them another thing to cry about tonight.

Nick Comoroto beats VSK, then hits him with another powerslam after the match.

We hear from "Legit" Leyal Hirsch. She talks about being adopted in the United States and adjusting to the country before excelling in sports. Shen then talks about how she discovered porfessional wrestlig and set her mind to doing it, first by joining both the boys' and girls' amateur wrestling teams in school. Despite the difficulty, she got an atheltic scholarship, and she was about to go to college before a mutual friend in the business helped her get her foot in the door. Despite her small stature, she sees herself as a person to beat and says she is lucky to travel the world and wrestling in Europe and Japan, the latter of which was cut short by COVID-19. Leyla says that she is here to win, and that when she signed to All Elite Wrestling, she knew all her work was worth it. Leyla also says she has no problem breaking an arm to make a statement, and that her style is different from that of everyone else in AEW. She says that she has always been a fighter, and that anyone who underestimates her size will see why she is "legit."

"Legit" Leyla Hirsch and Ryo Mizunami beat Amber Nova and Diamante with a cross arm breaker from Leyla to Amber. After the match, Diamante attacks Leyla, and Mizunami has to make the save.

Backstage, Dasha Gonzalez interviews Scorpio Sky and "All Ego" Ethan Page. Scorpio says he and Ethan are having a bit of an argument over what their tag team name should be, which is really an argument over whose name comes second. As for The Dark Order (Alex "3" Reynolds and Alan "5" Angels), Scorpio says that he does not underestimate anybody and admits that they are good, then says he is a wrestling savant and does not surround himself with anybody who isn't a certified winner. Page says that John "4" Silver is not even in The Dark Order's corner tonight, and wishes The Dark Order luck in keeping up tonight.

Kris Statlander beats Tesha Price.
