The Dark Order is in the ring, where John Silver introduces "Hangman" Adam Page. Adam Page says that he earned the AEW World Championship, not deserved it, and says that he is usually a little more shy and reserved and does not talk too often, but since he is AEW World Championship, he will do whatever the hell he wants. He says that he is a still a man with a job and a boss to answer to, and that that boss is the fans. He says that if the boss doesn't mind, he would like to stay in the ring and celebrate "National Cowboy Shit Day" with the fans. Page says he knows the AEW World Championship holds a lot of weight and responsibility, and after Full Gear, his next responsibility is Bryan Danielson. Danielson arrives and heads to the ring. Danielson congratulates Page on winning the AEW World Championship and shakes hands with him, and says that while he is excited about his title shot, he is surprised and disappointed it is not Kenny Omega standing across the ring from him. Adam Page brags about beating Kenny Omega in less than 30 minutes at Full Gear, then Danielson tells Page he is not coming dressed as a Ghostbuster and is coming to kick some ass, then says "cowboy shit" is more about talking than wrestling. Danielson says that when he won the world title at WrestleMania, he wrestled the very next day, which earns him some boos for the crowd. Page then says that if Danielson wants a title match, then there is no reason to have the match here tonight. Danielson asks the fans if they want to see that happen tonight, then says that he would normally be up for it, but Adam Page is not dressed to compete and has a list of excuses for failing during his career. He does not want Page to have the excuse that he is not ready when he beats him. Page says the match will not be tonight, and while Virginia is for lovers, he will still fight. Things soon get physical between Danielson and Page, and The Dark Order has to restore order. Danielson says that Page does not want to fight right now because The Dark Order is stopping both of them, and that The Dark Order knows he would kick his ass. Page rushes at Danielson and attacks him. Danielson retreats.

He then mentions next week's show being in Chicago, Illinois, and if Colt Cabana has the nuts, he will kick his head in next week.

MJF says he is the guy who checks all the boxes in the ring and on the microphone, making him the most complete pro wrestler on the planet. He says that he will start a major bidding war in 2024, says he is the past, present and future of pro wrestling, then says he could take "Hangman" Adam Page to the glue factory and shit on his championship reign. MJF then states that even though the fans hate his guts, they know that he deserves to be the next AEW World Champion, as nobody else in the locker room is on his level. Suddenly, CM Punk shows up.
