Jericho satisfies this condition with an aerial Judas Effect. After the match, Wardlow runs into the ring and attacks both Jericho and Juvi, hitting Juvi with an F-10 before knocking Jericho out with a knee.MJF says that Jericho is "as dumb as everyone of these scum-sucking idiots" in the arena tonight if he thinks he will allow him his moment of happiness after the match, then announces that Wardlow is his opponent in the Fourth Labour.

As Fenix, Penta and Alex leave, Chavo tells Andrade they will come around.

Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews The Dark Order. As John Silver is about to talk about the match, "Hangman" Adam Page shows up and apologizes to The Dark Order for costing them their shot at the tag team titles, as the problems he has with The Elite are problems he created. Page says that he must handle these problems on his own, and tells The Dark Order that it is best that they go their seperate ways. Evil Uno says that if Page needs his space, then they need to give it to him.

Britt talks about how she beat Red Velvet in three minutes in Jacksonville, then accepts her challenge. Red Velvet tells Britt Baker that things have changed since the last time they faced off, and that she is 22-4 with seven straight wins without having to cheat to win. Britt Baker tells Red Velvet that she is a different wrestler now as she is now Women's Champion, then tells her they will have their match on Rampage next Friday. Red Velvet kicks the microphone out of Britt's hand, then ducks the crutch shot by Rebel before stopping her. After she grabs the crutch, however, Red Velvet is superkicked by Britt Baker.

Tony Schiavone interviews "Hangman" Adam Page in the ring. Before Page can say anything, however, The Elite shows up. Page tells The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) that he has something that he has needed to say to them for a while. Kenny Omega thinks that Page is trying to take his title and make a plea to rejoin The Elite, but Page says this is the last thing he wants to do. Omega then calls Page "a try-hard just like [the fans]," and that The Elite have entertained the idea of taking him back and overlooking some things, then says that Page does not fit the bill for The Elite, who does not have any losers or failures in their group. Page hits Omega in the face, and The Elite gang up on Page before The Good Brothers hit him with a Magic Killer. Before The Elite can do much else, The Dark Order run in, but Evil Uno and Stu Grayson stop them in order to honor Page's wishes.

After the match, Kamille and Leyla Hirsch have a staredown in the middle of the ring.

We hear from Jade Cargill and "Smart" Mark Sterling.

Sterling then announces that Jade Cargill will have her return match next week on AEW Dark Elevation.

Malakai Black beats "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes. Before the match begins, Tony Schiavone announces that QT Marshall was dissatisfied with how he read his apology announcement on air that he will not apologize to him this week. After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews Cody, who says that legacy is a funny thing and that when he got into wrestling, all he wanted to do was win the title they took away from his father. He says that goals change and that time flies as he tries to get back to his feet, and Cody has to use a crutch that is handed to him to get back up. As he limps, he talks about how he met The Elite and how everyone laughed at them when they tried to start AEW. He then says that now, AEW is destination viewing and not just alternative wrestling, and that they have set the table and new people can eat. He says that he has been lucky for the last three years, then says that he loves The Elite very deeply and will be forever tethered to them, then calls Daily's Place "the AEW Ampitheatre." He also says there is no better place than here and no better time than now to thanks the fans for making Daily's Place special, but as he takes off his boots to leave them in the ring, Malakai Black returns to hit him in the back with the crutch.
