The show beings with a brief explanation of the founding of AEW and its growth, then we see scenes of upcoming episodes of the series.
In Atlantic City, New Jersey, everyone is getting ready for Full Gear. We then see the filming of Tony Schiavone interviewing Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. before we are introduced to her. Britt talks about how her family has been supportive of her career as both a wrestler and a dentist, and that she had two lives as soon as she took her first bump in a wrestling ring.
Backstage, Jamie Hayter, Toni Storm, Saraya and Dr. Britt Baker talk about what is going on in the women's division following Thunder Rosa's recent injury as well as her work outside of AEW. The four of them are having a match tonight, and Britt admits that her back is not the best shape. Britt Baker says that being a part of the foundation of AEW effects her, and considers Toni Storm more of a real champion than Thunder Rosa as she feels Thunder Rosa treats the AEW Women's World Championship like an accessory than a championship while Toni Storm does what she needs to do and does not complain.
We see The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) on their way back to work after not wrestling for two months. The two of them talk about their beginnings in professional wrestling, which leads to how they wrestling today. The both of them are ready to get back to doing something in AEW. Matt talks about how they never fit the mold for a major company, and says that when Tony Khan was created AEW, they decided to jump in. We then see footage of The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson) winning and then being stripped of the AEW World Trios Championships after the events of All Out, and Matt feels that it is a black eye on their career. Nevertheless, the two of them are readying their comeback.
We are introduced to Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo. Sammy finds out that from Tony Schiavone that Tony Khan was so blown away by his match with Bryan Danielson last week that he wants a two-out-of-three match between both men, and Tony Schiavone gives him the gist of what to say for the promo leading up to the match. Sammy then talks about how he got into professional wrestling and how he worked hard for over a decade in the independent circuit, then talks about how this two-out-of-three falls match could be a turning point for his career.
The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) make it to the arena and meet with various people on the roster before the show. They also ask Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. how Adam Cole - who is currently reinjured is doing - and learn that Adam Cole is preparing for an in-ring return following a concussion. The Young Bucks mention how real wrestling is, and Britt admits that she is a bit overwhelmed with what is going on with Adam Cole.
In Orlando, Florida, Austin Jenkins (aka Adam Cole) shakes off ring rust at a fitness center. He talks about how he turned to professional wrestling during the worst times of his life. Kyle O'Reilly meets up with him as he trains and talks about the progress on their recovery from their injuries, and Austin admits that Britt Baker has been overprotective about him coming back too soon, and that the fear of never wrestling again has kept him awake at night. Austin then talks about how he is about to have the biggest doctor's appointment of his life, and the best case scenario is that he will be cleared for Full Gear.
The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) train in the ring with Brandon Cutler. Matt talks about how it feels weird coming back after not wrestling for two months and that he is wondering if he and Nick still have it, and admit that he is nervous about things going wrong during their return.
Rampage starts in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Britt Baker gets a shot into her back before gearing up for her match. Meanwhile, Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo watch Sammy's promo leading into a two-out-of-three falls match with "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson, then we hear from Tay Melo about how she got started in Judo when he was young, tried out for the Olympics and got discovered by WWE, and how she was originally supposed to be a face before she became a heel thanks to her relationship with Sammy. Sammy says it is a shame that the fans are not seeing Tay's talent with her as a heel, as she is a bad-ass in the ring, and Tay says that she was born to fight.
Tay Melo has her match on AEW Dark. Tay says she is trying to figure out what she is doing wrong as a heel, and that she needs to get the fans to remember that she was born to do this. Meanwhile, Britt talks about Adam Cole's doctor's appointment with Rebel, and says that they are playing with fire. Britt also talks about how she is training other women with their storylines as we see Britt and Jamie Hayter's match.
After Rampage, everyone heads out of the arena. Sammy Guevara talks about how he watched some of the people that he works with while working odds jobs chasing his dreams. The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) look forward to wrestling in the near future after their return.
In Orlando, Florida, Austin and Britt see the doctor. Britt reminds everyone that she is a real-life dentist for the cameras, and Austin talks briefly about his and Britt's real life relationship, and admits that he hates putting her through what he is going through, but at the same time, they have to stay strong for each other. He admits that the recovery process has been pretty rough, as he has never been out of action for more than a month, and says that it will suck if he is not cleared for Full Gear. At the doctor's appointment, Austin finds out that the chances of being cleared in time for Full Gear is not likely. After the appointment, Austin knows that he could never wrestle again if he gets another concussion now. Both Austin and Britt agree that they do not want to go through this again. Austin apologizes to Britt for putting her through everything, but Britt says that there will be a time when he will return, even if it is not right now, and that everyone is in his corner.
