Casey Jost and Brian "Q" Quinn from truTV's Impractical Jokers are in the crowd.
"Hangman" Adam Page guests on commentary for the next match.
CM Punk beats John Silver with the Buckshot Lariat to send a message to "Hangman" Adam Page. After the match, Page and Punk have a staredown, and Punk asks Page if he is mad before stating that Page is taking things personally. Punk says it is not personal for him; it is just business. Punk says he used to look in the mirror every morning and ask himself if he was a good guy, but this morning, he asked himself if he was the champion and he said "yes." He then says John Silver is an example of what he will do to Page, who will shake his hand. Punk offers his hand, but Page flips him off and leaves.
Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews Jamie Hayter, Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. and Rebel. Britt says that the code of conspiracy that exists in AEW has her facing a mystery opponent, but she does not care who it is because she will win. After stating Hayter will also win, Britt says that storms becoming violent and exciting, but they soon pass, and now that the storm is over, there is Hayter on the forecast. On the subject of Hayter and Britt possibly facing each other in the women's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, Hayter is not concerned about, but Britt says it will be a fair fight.
"The Premier Athlete" Tony Nese quickly beats Danhausen following the distraction from "Smart" Mark Sterling. After the match, "Smart" Mark Sterling says he is not surprised Nese won, especially when Danhausen got an entrance and Nese didn't. Nese then hits the Running Nese on Danhausen again, then Sterling says Nese will have to embarrass the fans' favorites. As Nese goes for a third Running Nese, Hook shows up, and Nese and Sterling run away. Danausen extends his hand to Hook, and Hook shakes it.
Wardlow heads to the ring for the contract signing for his match with MJF. We then see a Dark Side of the Ring parody-style video package for the match. Barry Horowitz makes a special appearance during this video package. MJF then makes his way to the ring. MJF goes on to call himself better than Wardlow and puts Long Island, New York over before going over the conditions Wardlow must go through. Before he does that, MJF allows Wardlow to speak to the fans, whom he tells to boo Wardlow. The fans then boo Wardlow, then MJF says Wardlow is the worst and that karma is coming for him, saying he is going to get whipped ten times with his belt. After this, Wardlow will have to face Shawn Spears in a steel cage match with a special guest referee: MJF. Should Wardlow win that match, he will finally face MJF at Double or Nothing. If he loses to MJF, however, Wardlow will never be allowed to sign a contract for All Elite Wrestling ever again. Wardlow has to have his handcuffs removed to sign the contract, which he does, then attacks the security guard with the cuffs, topples the table and fights the security detail. After the whole security detail is laid out, Spears charges at Wardlow with a chair only to be decked, then Wardlow grabs MJF. Before he can powerbomb MJF, "Smart" Mark Sterling gets on top of Wardlow, allowing MJF to run away. Wardlow throws Sterling down, then gets the table back up and powerbombs Sterling through it.

Powerhouse Hobbs and Ricky Starks then confront Swerve when Keith Lee shows up. Afterwards, Christian Cage hugs Jungle Boy.
The Jericho Appreciation Society heads to the ring for their victory speech. Angelo Parker welcomes "the AEW Galaxy" to the victory speech, and Matt Menard says that the fact that he gets to be part of the greatest faction in the world really turns him on. Chris Jericho says there are a lot of hometown heroes here tonight and that he is one of them, having been born in nearby Manhasset before moving away because the place was a dump. Jericho then says the Society did what they said they would do and systematically eliminated Santana, Ortiz and Eddie Kingston, then brags about burning Eddie Kingston's face with a fireball. He then says Eddie has to stay home anyway to take care of his wife, and if he can't she can can give him a call. Daniel Garcia says that when a wrestler and a sports entertainer gets in the ring, the sports entertainer gets in the ring every time. Suddenly, Jon Moxley shows up in the crowd and heads to the ring, and Jericho gives Moxley one chance to leave. Moxley is soon joined by Bryan Danielson, Wheeler Yuta and William Regal. After this, Santana, Ortiz and a burned Eddie Kingston show up behind the Society, who find themselves outnumbered and ganged up on by two factions. The brawl ends with Regal punching out Jericho.
