It is announced that CM Punk will face "Hangman" Adam Page for the AEW World Championship at Double Or Nothing. Afterwards, CM Punk leaves the announce table and heads to the ring. He says that he has never seen a locker room with more talent than the one in AEW, then says that he asked himself seven years ago if he could still do this before confidently proclaiming that he can. Punk says he is a fan of Adam Page, and says that from Darby Allin to Dustin Rhodes, everything has been a warm-up, and while he cannot promise a win, he promises he can give his all, for without the fans, there is no CM Punk. Punk then admits that he has never been a gambling man, but tells Adam Page he will always bet on himself and that he will know he has been in a fight with him, and says that he will fight until the wheels fall off.

He says the Society have given their word to Khan and will give their word to "the AEW galaxy" that there will be no physicality, then Santana, Ortiz and Eddie Kingston head to the ring. Santana, Ortiz and Eddie Kingston throw away the chairs and the water bottles on their side of the table, then Chris Jericho shows his anger for the Society being barred from the arena last week. Jericho then demands an apology to the Society, then says he has something better than an apology: the middle finger. Santana also flips Jericho off, then says Jericho turned his back on "the two dudes who [knew him] best." Daniel Garcia calls Santana and Ortiz a couple of "tough guys" and that threats mean nothing, then tries to taunt Santana, Ortiz and Eddie into hitting them. It does not work. Eddie says he is not a fan of anything going on and topples the table before telling Jericho that he will get him and to "stop with the crap." Jericho reminds Eddie that it is five-on-three and that the Society will put a hit on them and take them out one by one. Eddie asks Jericho that when you put a hit on someone, you end things, but Jericho tells Eddie to stand there and shut up. Eddie tells Jericho he can smell the fear in him and that Jericho had better be ready to put them in the ground before they do it to him, then tells Jericho that he is not prepared.
