Backstage, Scott D'Amore meets with Josh Alexander and tells him that Moose has been sent home and will be fired and stripped of the Impact World Championship. Alexander pins D'Amore to the wall and tells him that that he wants Moose, who has made this far too personal. Alexander says that he hopes Moose pays attention to what he has to say tonight.

Before the next match, Jonathan Gresham says he came to Impact Wrestling to share the true essence of Ring of Honor and professional wrestling with the world, but along with that came Honor No More. Gresham says the foundation of Ring of Honor was made by men like himself, Samoa Joe and even Eddie Edwards. He says Eddie is no longer the man he once knew and represents something completely different, and that they will finally meet at Rebellion. Kenny King shows up and says Gresham disgusts him, as he simultaneously sees on the greatest wrestlers of a generation as well as a chump and stooge for Impact Wrestling who is bringing prestige to their company. He then says that Gresham should be part of Honor No More, then says that he is "The Octopus" because he is all arms and no brains and balls, then says he is not interested in Pure Rules or "the piece of metal from a dead company" before declaring he wants to bury him.

Jonathan Gresham beats Kenny King by pinfall with the Figure Four Leg Lock after King's leg gives out completely. After the match, Gresham is attacked from behind by Eddie Edwards, and Kenny King holds Gresham down so that Eddie can hit Gresham with the Boston Knee Party.

Chris Sabin says that he will beat Jay White at Multiverse of Matches and that tonight, he and Shelley will prove why they are "the best damn tag team that ever lived."

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Deonna Purrazzo. Purrazzo says that the Knockouts Division is learning that when you mess with the bull, you get the horns, and that she has been pushing boundaries and will continue to do so at Multverse of Matches. She says that with tons of fans comes tons of options over who to face, and that "the champ-champ" is here.

Before the next match, Johnny Swinger says that if Zicky Dice listens to him, he will become "the next Adrian Adonis." He then calls out two "ham-and-eggers" to a match for "The Chump-Chump Challenge." The challenge is answered by The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson).

The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) quickly beat Johnny Swinger and "Outlandish" Zicky Dice in The Chump-Chump Challenge without Swinger even getting in the match. Backstage, Gia Miller interviews The Good Brothers. Anderson says that what happened in the ring is how they became the best tag team in the business and that they are back to beating people up. Gallows says they got screwed last week by Honor No More, but they are going to Rebellion and going through seven other teams. As for Multiverse of Matches, they will see how many bullets are in The Briscoes' (Jay and Mark Briscoe) gun. Suddenly, PCO is seen in the parking lot screaming JONAH's name.

Backstage, PCO is still screaming JONAH's name. He is suddenly attacked from behind by JONAH with a metal hand truck. JONAH places PCO on the hand truck and sends him into a bunch of cones. JONAH and PCO then brawl in the parking lot, and the brawl ends with JONAH powerbombing PCO and hitting him with a sledgehammer before placing a cement slab on PCO and breaking it on him with the sledgehammer. This only fires PCO up, and PCO grabs JONAH by the throat, much to the surprise of JONAH, who tries to fight back. PCO then slams the door of a nearby truck into JONAH's right shoulder before shoveling what looks like asphalt on top of JONAH.

"The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander beats Madman Fulton with the ankle lock. After the match, Alexander refuses to let go of the ankle hold until Ace Austin tries to get in the ring, when Alexander finally lets go and forces Austin to think twice about getting in the ring as soon as he glares at him. Fulton tries to attack Alexander again, but Alexander fends him off and breaks Fulton's ankle with the ankle lock while Ace Austin slowly backs away.

Backstage, Trey Miguel meets with "Speedball" Mike Bailey before asking what his relationship to Ace Austin is, then tells him not to expect Ace Austin to have his back.

In backstage footage from last week, Mickie James says she thought she has someone who looked up to her and was trusting in Chelsea Green only to find out that she was as much of a sell-out as Matt Cardona. She says that she sees Chelsea Green's true colors now, and if Matt Cardona thinks he can get away with putting his hands on her, then she and Nick Aldis will have their way with "The Mid-Cardonas" at Multiverse of Matches.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Chelsea Green, who says Mickie James asked her repeatedly not to help her, yet Mickie James came to save her anyway. She says that Mickie was too tied up to give her a title shot, and now she will get a shot at Mickie. Matt Cardona says that they will beat Mickie James and Nick Aldis, whom he says has accomplished nothing, and prove that they are the power couple of pro wrestling.

Tasha Steelz guests on commentary for the next match.

Rosemary last eliminates "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw and Lady Frost in a Knockouts World Championship #1 Contender's Battle Royal to earn a shot at the Impact Knockout World Championship at Rebellion. During the match, Kaleb with a K inadvertently catches Jessie McKay when she is knocked off the apron, briefly saving Jessie from elimination.



We hear from Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner). Eric Young says The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) experienced another symphony of violence, and the crescendo was when they took their power and control and everything they held dear. He then tells them to imagine what people will say when they run roughshod through seven other team and retain what matters to them: power and control. Eric Young says that he proved that the sickness still exists when he lost to Black Taurus. He says that the sickness can still take, and that Decay (Rosemary, Crazzy Steve, Black Taurus, Havok) now has their undivided attention and that they will take back what Deaner lost as well as their power and control.

Brian Myers provides alternative commentary for the next match.

Bhupinder Gujjar beats Aiden Prince. After the match, W. Morrissey shows up as Brian Myers tries to leave, and Myers and Morrissey brawl.

Suddenly, Die Familie (Teoman, Rohan Raja, Charlie Dempsey) shows up, and Teoman mocks Wolfgang for talking about heritage. Charlie Dempsey asks why Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang) is always chosen to represent British heritage, but Wolfgang says he is ready for a fight and he does not need a reason. Dempsey says "So do I," then Die Familie leaves.

Andy Shepherd moderates a face-to-face meeting between Roderick Strong and Ilja Dragunov. Dragunov says that Roderick Strong's work speaks for itself and that he can push things to the next level like he can. Roderick Strong says he sees a lot of himself in Dragunov and finds it inspiring, and that Dragunov pushing himself to a level he has never experienced before for growth is very important to him. He says there is no bigger test than Dragunov and taking the NXT UK Championship, who he says is at the top of his list. Dragunov says Strong does not know about the path that he has taken to get here and prove what "Unbeseigbar" is really all about, as a tsar takes care of the people that support him. Strong says Dragunov is living in the glory of the moment of being champion, but he has not felt the disappointment of losing something as big as the title, and that nothing hurts him more than saying he was a champion, and that Dragunov will feel that after their match and that will be his true challenge. Dragunob says that is his prediction, not reality, and that he will be the one standing up above Strong when the match is over.

"Cool Hand Ang" Angelo Parker and "Magic Daddy" Matt Menard then look around for Santana, Ortiz and Eddie Kingston and find nobody.

O'Reilly opens the box to release five gold balloons, then Adam Cole welcomes everyone to their championship celebration. Adam Cole says that "Hangman" Adam Page, Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus are not here tonight because they are ashamed and embarrassed that they took their championships from them, then says that one cannot steal something that belongs to them. Cole says this celebration is not just for them, but for the fans and for AEW, which he says needs a new era and a new crew to run the show in them. O'Reilly says the haters do not have enough wins or are not ranked enough to win the tag team titles, and Bobby Fish says their reputation precedes them and that they and Adam Cole are "the three baddest dudes the company has to offer, bar no one."

She says she clawed her way to the top, but she wants to be the face of all women's wrestling, not just AEW. She then says that whenever she makes it to the top, there are always bullies to bring her down. She says that while pillars come down, foundations remain standing, and says that if anyone wants to challenge her, she is willing to take on all challengers. She says it does not matter who she has to face - including "The Native Beast" Nyla Rose, whom she gives a chance to use her "grown words" unless she needs Vickie Guerrero to dumb it down for her - as long as she faces the best in the world.

We hear from FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler). Cash Wheeler says they take wrestling seriously because it is all they wanted to do and they are doing it and making history together.

She says that she is never scared, as she is "the baddest bitch in the game" with "the greatest back-up this company has ever seen" and they have been dominating for the last six months and will continue to do so. Mandy says she will humiliate Cora Jade, get rid of Io Shirai once and for all and send Kay Lee Ray back under the bridge where she came from before cementing her legacy as the greatest NXT Women's Champion of all time. She then mentions some business they have tonight, and says they did Dakota Kai and Wendy Choo a favor when they got rid of Raquel Gonzalez and practically handed them the tournament only for them to fail Toxic Attraction.Gigi and Dolin then produce some of Wendy Choo's personal belongings when she says that Wendy "apologized for not getting the job done," then Gigi says they have defeated everyone and practically run the women's division. Jacy Jayne says there is nobody left to challenge at this point and that they have beaten and embarrassed everyone put in front of them, and at Stand & Deliver, she and Gigi will watch Mandy beat "three other bimbos" at the same time.

Lesnar says that in six days, he will finally get his hands on Roman Reigns and there is nowhere to run or hide when he stands above him with two titles that he will raise to the sky as he is declared a unified champion.



Before the next match, The Miz says that Rey Mysterio may have an incredible wardrobe for WrestleMania, then mentions the mask he stole from Rey last week and says he gave it to Logan Paul, whom he introduces as "Lucha Logan." Logan Paul shows up wearing the stolen mask and does a cartwheel on the stage before heading to the ring.

He then says he has done everything except beat Lesnar at WrestleMania. Roman says this pisses him off, then says that what bothers him about Lesnar is how he was out for blood a few weeks ago. He says that Lesnar had already spilled his blood at WrestleMania in 2018 by busting his forehead open so badly that his family became concerned. Roman says his family was disappointed, his father was concerned, his wife wanted him out of the business and his children did not recognize him, but he stayed in the business and he and The Usos changed the game. Roman says that he took his advocated and made him his wise man and got his receipt by spilling his blood at Madison Square Garden, then says he will smash Lesnar and take his title, because it has always been personal to him and he will make it personal. He then gently lays the microphone down on the mat and raises one finger in the hand, as does The Usos.

Owens says he also did everyone watching a failure, as him dressed up as Steve Austin will be as close to the old Steve Austin anyone will get, as Steve Austin has been gone for nineteen years and will never be coming back. He says it will just be "Steve" who has been drinking himself into oblivion and bored to tears that he has to have people on his podcast that will be on his show, and while he sounds like the "Stone Cold" of old and can talk a big game, he would destroy him on his show. Owens says that Steve Austin is on his show to have "a nice little chat about his career" and that he will give him the biggest platform he has ever had at WrestleMania and give him the big send-off he thinks he deserves. Owens then says that he has something special for him, and despite considering beer "disgusting," he will share a beer with him and have a toast to Austin finally and officially passing the torch to him as the true new master of the Stunner and "the new Stone Cold." He then says that after that, Austin can be on his way, then warns him that if he gets funny with him and tries to pick a fight, there will be a Stunner and Austin will be on the receiving end of it and he will pour a beer on his lifeless carcass.

She says that she is "the EST" for a reason and congratulates Becky for taking her out for a week before declaring she is here as if she never even left, then says this has gone on for too long and Becky has done everything to stay champion. She says that Becky tried to break her throat and her spirit and tried to end her career, but nothing has worked and nothing will stop her from taking the Raw Women's Championship, and at WrestleMania, she is coming for her and she will become champion. Becky Lynch's theme hits, but Bianca sees Becky's attempt to come at her from behind with a chair coming and gets the upper hand. Becky pulls Bianca back by her hair, then hits her with the chair. Becky then produces a large pair of hair cutting scissors, and as referees try to stop her from cutting the ponytail, Bianca lifts Becky up on her shoulders, hits her with the K.O.D., then hits her with it again.

He says that WrestleMania is his judgment days and that his judgment is sealed.

Bryan Danielson and Jon Moxley beat The Varsity Blonds (Griff Garrison and Brian Pillman Jr.) with a bulldog choke from Moxley to Garrison. After the match, Moxley says he is a very lucky man and fortunate enough to compete against and learn from the best in the world, and says that Regal's opinion is the one that he has cared about most. He says that the seal of approval from Regal is a badge of honor that he has to earn through pain, blood, torture and dislocated joints, and that he wears that "Blackpool badge of honor" with pride just like Bryan Danielson does. Moxley says that they were forged in combat, and anyone who wants to step in the ring with them needs to step up or get stepped on. He then says that if anyone has what it takes to ride with them, they much reach down to the place inside where they love pain. He also says that the only way to get the seal of approval from "The Blackpool Combat Club" is the hard way.



MJF and Shawn Spears head to the ring. When they do, a security detail stands between the ring and the ramp. MJF says it is such a shame that Wardlow could not get the job done last week, and says that he is a man of his word and honors his business agreements unlike Wardlow. He says that he meant it when he said that Wardlow could keep the TNT Championship, then says it is so sad that Wardlow could not beat Scorpio Sky. MJF then addresses CM Punk, saying he had him beaten at Revolution only for Punk to cheat to win. MJF tells Punk that there will be another match, and when there is, he will give Punk the most embarrassing loss of his career and it will not be over until he attends his funeral and pisses on his grave. MJF then focuses back on Wardlow, mocking the fans for liking Wardlow by saying they are inbred before calling Wardlow "a greedy little pig" and saying that if it were not for him, the fans would not know who Wardlow is, as he made him. He says that Wardlow had nothing until he showed, and now he has a roof over his and his mothers' head. He then says that Wardlow repaid him by costing him the biggest match of his career before asking him to release him from his contract. MJF reminds Wardlow that when he signed the contract, he signed with a deal with the devil and that the devil's deals are iron-clad. He then says that if Wardlow thought he had it bad before, he will make his life a living hell now. MJF tells Wardlow that he owns him as he stares straight into the camera, then Wardlow shows up only to be held back by ten security guards. MJF tells Wardlow he works for him, not AEW, and that he does not want him around her anymore. MJF then declares that Wardlow is trespassing and that he will continue to pay him to stay home until the fans forget he ever existed and he winds up the same way he found him: an absolute nobody. Wardlow is then escorted to the back. MJF then says that The Pinnacle is still around and better than ever without Wardlow, and Shawn Spears that when you're in The Pinnacle, you're always on top.



Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews Best Friends (Chuck Taylor, Trent Baretta, Orange Cassidy, Wheeler Yuta). Trent Barretta tells Wheeler Yuta that while he never liked him, but if he wants to join William Regal, Bryan Danielson and Jon Moxley, he is done with him. Yuta says he never liked Baretta either and that he wants to be the best wrestler he can be, not the best friend, and Barretta either gets it or he doesn't.

Adam Cole beats Jay Lethal with a low blow after reDRagon (Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly) distract the referee. After the match, Cole says there is nobody on the planet who deserves the AEW World Championship more than him and that Adam Page stole his victory at Revolution. He says that when he pinned Jungle Boy in their trios match last week, he saw fear in Page's eyes and knew that Page saw the man who would take his title. He says Page caught lightning in a bottle at Revolution and that next time, he will shove the bottle up Page's ass. Adam Cole says that he is a fighter while Page is a coward who is afraid to face him and reDRagon in the ring, then Adam Page shows up and gets in the ring. Page hits all three men with a leather belt, but Cole hits Page with a low blow and the numbers game takes over. Suddenly, Jungle Boy, Christian Cage and Luchasaurus show up and chase Cole and reDRagon out of the ring. As this happens, Cole runs off with the AEW World Championship.



We see a video package for Lance Archer vs. Dustin Rhodes this week on Rampage.

Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews Sammy Guevara and Tay Conti in the ring. Guevara says that three weeks ago, he lost the TNT Championship, but it is what it is and he still has the ring and he will give a show like no one has never seen before. He says that he has been told that he can't keep up his style forever and that while he will pay for it when he gets older, it will be worth it due to the fans. Tay Conti says that he and Guevara want payback, and that Paige VanZant will get her ass kicked. Guevara then wants a mixed tag match against American Top Team right now. Dan Lambert then shows up with The Men of the Year (Scorpio Sky and "All Ego" Ethan Page) and puts them and Paige VanZant on a pedestal before mocking Guevara and Conti. He then says that American Top Team will stay on top while looking back at the bodies they've laid out, then The Men of the Year head to the back after laughing on their way out.
