Taz guests on commentary for the next match.

During the match, Hook and "Absolute" Ricky Starks show up to hand the FTW Championship to Hobbs, but "The Machine" Brian Cage runs in, takes the title back and chases Starks to the back. Page goes for the Buckshot Lariat, but Hobbs counters with a powerslam. Page ends up winning the match with the Deadeye.
We see a video package for Jungle Boy vs. Kenny Omega for the AEW Championship later tonight.
We hear from The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and Brandon Cutler. The Young Bucks say they are the longest reigning tag team champions in AEW, then mention a few of the teams they have beaten before saying that Eddie Kingston and Penta el Zero Miedo will not get a title shot. They say this is because they are EVP's: "Extremely Violent People." The tag team title eliminator match is official for next week.
Tony Schiavone and Tully Blanchard are in the ring. Schiavone introduces Konnan to the ring. Tully says that the last time he saw Konnan, he stuck his nose in his business, then lets him go first. Konnan says that Tully likes to impose his will on people and play mind games, and that Tully's mind games won't work and that Proud 'n Powerful (Santana and Ortiz) have been through a lot. He says that he, Santana and Ortiz are from a more violent world, and while Tully may be FTR's mentor, he is Santana and Ortiz's father. Tully says he has done some research on Konnan and tells him he does not know who he is dealing with. He says that when FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) shows up, Konnan will be flat, as he will make his one big entrance and end the game. Konnan says that when all is said and done, Walmart will still be hiring greeters, then says he has Santana and Ortiz in the back. Santana and Ortiz show up in masks and bandannas, then Tully reveals that Santana and Ortiz are actually laid out backstage and that the men in the masks are FTR, who hit Konnan with a spike piledriver.
Before the next match, Vickie Guerrero shows up and introduces "the future champion of All Elite Wrestling," Andrade el Idolo. She then says the two of them have a huge announcement to make before they are interrupted by Matt and Mike Sydal.
Matt Sydal beats Dante Martin.
We hear from Jungle Boy, who says that tonight feels like the biggest night of his life when Christian Cage shows up. Christian tells Jungle Boy he should be pissed off, as there are some who feels he should be in this spot and Kenny Omega is one of them. He says that Kenny Omega considers him a threat to the AEW Championship, and says he shocked the world once by winning the Casino Battle Royal. He then tells him to shock the world again by beating Kenny Omega for the AEW Championship.
We hear from Mark Sterling and Jade Cargill. Sterling says he and Jade have come to a deal with ShopAEW.com, announcing that you can buy either of Jade's shirts at 10% off with the code "THATB." Jade Cargill then says that she is one of one and undefeated, and that there is nobody like her because she is "that bitch."
Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews MJF, Wardlow and Shawn Spears. MJF says there is a part of him deep down that understands why he attacked Chris Jericho's injured arm last week and why Spears hit Guevara with a steel chair earlier tonight. MJF then says he cannot understand why people are upset with what he did to Dean Malenko last week, saying he is an old man with a bad heart and Parkinson's Disease and should not be involved in a business like professional wrestling. He says people should be throwing flowers instead of rocks at him, because he gave Malenko an early retirement. He, Wardlow and Spears are then attacked by Jericho and Jake Hager. Despite being outnumbered three to two, Jericho and Hager are able to hold their own until the numbers game eventually takes over in the ring. Spears soon gets a chair as MJF holds down Jericho's injured arm, but as Spears is about to swing, Sammy Guevara shows up and takes out Spears before hitting Wardlow with a jumping knee and a chair shot. MJF rolls out of the ring, and Guevara also hits Spears with the chair. Guevara says that on Wednesday, the world will know they picked the wrong guy for the poster and action figures when she shows MJF that he is "The Best Ever."
We hear from Miro, who thanks God for keeping him powerful. He then says that Brian Pillman Jr. may be ranked highly in the television title champion, but he does not respect him, and says that Pillman will find out why he is God's greatest champion. He says that Pillman can keep lying, but he says that attacking him was the smartest thing that Pillman ever did to him.
"All Ego" Ethan Page beats Bear Bronson after the ref is distracted by Bear Boulder attacking Scorpio Sky on the outside, allowing Page to hit a low blow prior to getting the win with the Ego's Edge. After the match, Ethan Page says that Darby Allin is not done with him and that pinning him is not enough for him. He says that he wants to be the nail in Darby Allin's coffin and wants to put him in one. He then challenges Darby Allin to a Coffin Match at Road Rager on July 7th.
We hear from Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. and Rebel. Britt says that Vickie Guerrero has asked for a wrestling match and that there is no insurance policy that will cover all the damage she will do to her. She says that she is leading a whole new era and has no time for games. She then mockingly asked to be excused in advance for when she beats her ass next week. We then hear from Vickie Guerrero and Nyla Rose. Vickie says they are coming for the Women's title, and Nyla Rose says that Britt will be trapped in the cage with her next week. Nyla also warns Britt to watch out for "the claws of the cougar."
Kris Statlander beats The Bunny after Orange Cassidy takes some brass knuckles away from The Bunny that are introduced into the ring by The Blade. After the match, The Blade attacks Orange Cassidy, and TheHybrid2 show up to help The Blade outnumber Orange. The Blade then gets the knuckles back and punches Orange Cassidy out.
In footage from earlier today, Tony Schiavone interviews QT Marshall. He says that Cody Rhodes has Hollywood running around today while he is putting in the work, and that he plans on becoming a champion one day in AEW.
We hear from Brian Pillman Jr. in footage from earlier today. Pillman says Miro has a bit of a messiah complex and just wants to pick fights to boost his own ego. He says he has fought for everything he ever had, and next week, he will give Miro an ego check when he becomes TNT Champion.
We hear from Eddie Kingston and Penta el Zero Miedo. Kingston says that The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) don't know how to take people out, and that how much he and Penta hurt them, all they care about is their ego and their tag team titles. He says that to hurt The Young Bucks, they must take the tag team titles, and to do that, they must really take them out. Penta says that The Young Bucks talk about those they have run over, but next week, he and Kingston will run them over.
Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match as Luchasaurs, Marko Stunt and The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) get ejected from ringside.
Kenny Omega retains the AEW World Championship against Jungle Boy. During the match, The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) come back, but they get taken out and sent to the back by Luchasaurus and Marko Stunt with the help of Frankie Kazarian. After the match, Kenny Omega is about to hit Jungle Boy with the AEW World Championship when Christian Cage shows up to stop him. Suddenly, The Hardy Family Office shows up, and Matt Hardy clotheslines him before going for the Twist of Fate. As Christian reverses it into the Killswitch, he is superkicked by The Young Bucks. Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks and The Hardy Family Office then celebrate in the ring to close out the show.
