After the match, Taz threatens to go after both Christian and Sydal from the announce table, then Ricky Starks shows up and says he is his own man and will not be on the sidelines. He then calls for Team Taz, who attack Christian and Sydal from behind. As Hook attacks Sydal at ringside and Taz and Hobbs attack Christian in the ring, Adam Page shows up, hands his beer to Ricky Starks and fights off Cage and Hobbs before Hook gets him with a chop block. Page then falls victim to a powerbomb from Cage, then Starks has a drink of Page's beer.

We hear from the Varsity Blonds (Griff Garrison and Brian Pillman Jr.). Brian Pillman Jr. that despite The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) mentioning his father, his father and the dark side of the ring was what kept him away from the ring until he saw The Young Bucks and felt he could succeed. Griff Garrison talks about how he got started running The Young Bucks' merchandise table and how he got to pick the Bucks' brains, then says the Bucks are not the people he once knew and need a reality check. Pillman Jr. says that they will not stop until they become AEW World Tag Team Champions.

We hear from Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston in footage from earlier today. Moxley says he and Eddie will do to The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster and Anthony Bowens) what they do to every other tag team: beat the brakes off of them. We then hear from The Acclaimed. Bowens says that they are pissed that Moxley and Eddie are invading their space. He says they are ranked higher, and if Moxley and Eddie want the tag team titles, they will have to go through them.

Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston beat The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster and Anthony Bowens) after Bowens gets caught using Caster's chain as a weapon and Moxley takes the boombox away from Caster and hits him with it.

Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews Dean Malenko and Chris Jericho. Jericho says that he will have to wait like everyone to see if The Inner Circle will accept The Pinnacle's challenge.

Tony Schiavone interviews Scorpio Sky and "All Ego" Ethan Page. Scorpio says that when he was a kid, Sting was everything he loved about pro wrestling and he wanted to be like him, but time happened and Sting is not the same man he used to be. He also says that he is a grown man who is warning Sting to step aside or else he will put him down, then Ethan Page says Scorpio proved he could put him down when he put him n the heel hook and says he hoped Sting was watching when he tossed Darby Allin down some stairs. He says he does not want to take all the credit and says that Miro will make a good TNT Champion, but he wants to take everything away from Darby Allin and the nail in his coffin. Suddenly, shows up. As Sting heads to the ring, Darby Allin strikes from behind with his skateboard, starting a tag team brawl that ends with Sting locking a Scorpion Deathlock in on Scorpio and Darby hitting Ethan with his skateboard. As Scorpio and Ethan leave, The Dark Order comes out from both stage entrances, and Scorpio and Ethan have to run to the side to escape.

The Pinnacle have dinner at a restaurant. MJF mockingly says that Chris Jericho is funny and witty with his third-grade humor, and says he hopes Jericho laughs himself silly as he is now dealing with a man who always get the last laugh. Dax Harwood says they should be chasing every championship AEW has and building a legacy, but they have to keep dealing with Jericho and The Inner Circle while Jericho continues to make a mockery of professional wrestling. As he speaks, Shawn Spears attacks a waiter and says "I want MY drink" before breaking a bottle of wine, and Tully Blanchard pays for the damages. MJF says that if The Inner Circle accepts their challenge, it will be their last match in AEW.

Hikaru Shida beats Rebel with a Stretch Muffler. After the match, Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. attacks Shida and curb stomps Shida face first into the front plate of the AEW Women's World Championship before holding the title up.

In backstage footage from last week, Don Callis and Kenny Omega meet with Orange Cassidy in the trainer's room while clearing out the rest of Best Friends. Omega tells Orange he is valued in the company and that he is wanted as "the mascot of the company." He and Callis then present Orange Cassidy with a set of papers which, if signed, causes Orange to waive his right to the main event of Double or Nothing due to injury. Orange tears it up without any hesitation. Omega warns Orange that he will not hold back with the One-Winged Angel and that unlike with the powerbomb, he can end his career or his life. Callis provides a duplicate of the document and hands it to Orange, and tells him to look at it before he and Omega leave.

The Inner Circle head to the ring. Ortiz says everybody has been wondering what they will do, then says talk is cheap and he wants to fight. Sammy Guevara says that as long as both they and The Pinnacle work for AEW, this will never end, and calls The Pinnacle "a bunch of clowns." Guevara says that everyone knows what he is going to say, then Jake Hager says that they don't have a choice and that they will be "a bunch of schoolgirl bitches" like The Pinnacle if they do not accept the challenge. Chris Jericho says The Pinnacle have their heads so far up their asses that they cannot hear very well, but he heard their challenge for the Stadium Stampede loud and clear. He wonders if it is worth, but he also wonders if Blood and Guts was worth it given all that happened and all they left in that match that they can never get back, saying he will never be the same again because of MJF. He says that MJF hurt him, and while his physical wounds will get better, he will not escape the mental image of MJF throwing him off the top of the cage, which he calls the most terrifying moment of his life as it was almost "game over" for him. He asks if it was worth scaring friends, family and everyone who watched the match, and says that the only answer he has is "yes," as MJF has given him the fire and inspiration to hurt him. Jericho then accepts the challenge with a "1000% yes." He then says that if The Inner Circle cannot beat The Pinnacle, they do not deserve to be a faction, but that will not happen because The Pinnacle will have to kill them, especially when Santana comes back next week. Jericho then says they will beat The Pinnacle at Spring Stampede and "piss all over [their] graves."

Daniels refuses to elaborate on his "This might be all" tweet, then shakes hands with Kazarian and whispers something to him. Kazarian says that whatever path Daniels chooses to take, he has earned the right to that path, then says he knows what path he is in, saying that The Elite are at fault for taking something from him and that he will hunt them down and show them what loss is like. He says that he will get his recompense or die trying, saying that he is a bomb The Elite cannot defuse and a gun The Elite cannot unload.

Miro heads to the ring. He thanks Jesus Christ for protecting him and giving him strength, power and more aggression than anyone else to destroy everybody, which he says is his talent and not Darby Allin's. He then says that it does not matter who his target it, and when they have something he wants, he will take it and it is done. He says he forgives Darby Allin, then says nobody will take the TNT Championship from him and he will destroy his next challenger. Lance Archer shows up with Jake "The Snake" Roberts and says he has been "the beast of AEW" long before Miro showed up, then mentions his match with Cody Rhodes for the title and vows he will not leave without the TNT title a second time. He says he and Miro will have a fight of the levels of "Godzilla vs. Kong," and that he will put Miro into the ground and become the TNT Champion after making Miro his "Bulgarian bitch." Miro threatens to drop Jake if he gets too close to him, then says that Lance Archer will be "the first to die" when he is done with him.
