Seth "Freakin'" Rollins heads to the ring from the crowd to start tonight's show. Rollins says it has been a long, long road with highs and low to become World Heavyweight Champion and that is just feels right. He says he wants to focus more on the future than the past, as Raw finally has a champion that wants to be here, is going to be here and is ready for a fight. Rollins says he wants all the fight because he wants to be here and hear the world sing his song, then "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles shows up. Styles says he is supposed to be on SmackDown, but he could not resist showing up tonight to congratulate him. He says that he left it all in the ring and that Styles knew what he would do before he did it, and the fans say that Rollins deserves the title. He then says Rollins does not deserve anything, because he earned the right to be World Heavyweight Champion. Rollins says he is not good at these things, but after the beating he gave him, he earned a handshake. Both men shake hands in the middle of the ring, then The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio) show up. Finn Balor pretends to vomit before he asks The Judgment Day if this makes them feel sick, because the handshake makes him wants to puke. Damian Priest agrees, and Rhea Ripley says they run Raw as they get in the ring. Priest then says that after The Bloodline imploded on Saturday, The Judgment Day run WWE. Finn says they have beaten Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, something Roman Reigns could not do. Rhea then tells The Judgment Day could also take the World Heavyweight Championship, and that even Dominik could do it. Styles and Rollins laugh.

She then says Becky can go back into her dark hole and go through her stuff while the real superstars like the one who had her back and wanted to help despite her not needing the help - Zoey Stark - have a shot at the big time. She says that Zoey Stark reminds her of herself and is one of the most aggressive superstars that she has seen in a long time, then brings out Zoey Stark. Zoey Stark says she came to WWE to be the best and make a statement, and asks who better to do it with than Trish Stratus. She says she could have either taken the long, hard, difficult road like Becky did or be smart and be led by Trish. She says that Trish is so giving, humble and kind, and now that she has the floor, she thanks Trish. After Zoey mentions the bruise on Trish's face, Trish says that if Becky messes with her face again, Zoey will tell her what is up. Becky shows up and tells Zoey she will ruin her life before saying she and Trish are still in their gear and that they can finish what they started tonight. Zoey charges at Becky only to get laid out, then Becky gets in the ring with Trish. Becky fends off Trish and Zoey, but Zoey attacks becky from behind.

Sami Zayn says that on Saturday, he and Kevin Owens won and that Roman Reigns deserves everything he has received, and while Roman may be the greatest of all time, for the rest of his life, when he looks at them, he will know in his heart that they won. All of a sudden, Imperium (Gunther, Ludwig Kaiser, Giovanni Vinci) show up, and Ludwig Kaiser says that while Sami and Owens' victory was impressive, it was not as impressive as Gunther's. Owens asks Imperium why they are here and says this is not the Wild West as he rants at them for coming out without being called out, then Sami calms him down before agreeing with him and reminds Imperium of what happened the last time they had a match as he asks why they are not preparing for their match with Alpha Academy (Chad Gable and Otis). Kaiser says Matt Riddle is more of an embarrassment than Sami and Owens holding the tag team titles, and deems them unworthy of holding the titles or representing Raw. Owens then audibly wonders why Giovanni Vinci never speaks and wants to know what his opinion is. As Ludwig Kaiser screams at Sami and Owens for besmirching them, they get shooshed by Chad Gable, who shows up with Otis and Maxxine Dupri and promises to teach Imperium a lesson.

Cody then hopes that he is not, then tells Lesnar that he if is in a wrestling ring, he will be ready to fight him.

Flash says they have been travelling the world, winning championships and making waves, and IMPACT's tag team titles are one of the few titles they have not one. Brian Myers shows up with The Good Hands (Jason Hotch and John Skyler) and views Subculture as "a British charity case," then says there is a pecking order and that they got lucky, and that they will be even luckier if they win tonight.

"Switchblade" Jay White shows up and tells Starks he will not beat either of them at Double or Nothing.

We hear from "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry, who talks about how his drive down Las Vegas is different every year while being in the ring in Las Vegas has always felt the same, and this year, when he drives back down the road, he will do it as AEW World Champion.

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) head to the ring. Cash Wheeler tells Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett have been lucky, but their luck will run out at Double or Nothing. Dax Harwood says that Jeff Jarrett cannot stay relevant and has to tag themselves to them in order to do so, then says that FTR are no tag team rejects before telling him he will need to find a new job and call Dixie Carter after Double or Nothing because "a couple of TNA rejects" will not be winning their titles. Suddenly, Mark Briscoe shows up, and Wheeler tells Briscoe not to let Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett make him look stupid, because they went to hell and back with him and his brother and they will do the same for him this year. Mark Briscoe addresses Dax Harwood piledriving him, and when Harwood admits that he was blinded when he did and apologizes, he extends his hand only for Mark to slap it away. On his way out, Jay Lethal and company (Feff Jarrett, Karen Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt, Jeff Jarrett, Satnam Singh) show up, but Mark Briscoe smacks everyone out of his way and tells Lethal that while he is his friend, he is tired of the bullshit.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Sammy Guevara, who says that MJF has told her that his offer is still on the table.

We hear from The Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Jon Moxley, "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson). Danielson says that Claudio and Wheeler Yuta will win tag team gold before they end The Elite. Moxley says that they are the best in the world, and that he says that because of the standard they set for themselves and the fans who pay money to see them get the job done the way it was meant to be done, which nobody does better than them. He says this is the major leagues, and asks if anyone is willing to stand in the line of fire and deliver when it counts. He says it will count at Double or Nothing, and that they will deliver in Anarchy at the Arena in a storm of violence, standing calm ready to take aim and fire, and that everyone will see the difference between professionals and amateurs.

MJF heads to the ring. MJF says Las Vegas, Nevada may be called "Sin City," but he looks around and says it might as well be renamed "Virgin Vegas." As for Double or Nothing, he wishes harm on his challengers, then says that unlike them, he is intelligent, then says that he and his opponents are as homegrown as it gets and that they had the cheat code of being on national television, going from being complete unknowns to giving some of the best matches in history in four years, as "they are AEW." He then says that he is getting bored with AEW due to the lack of competition and competency as well as the fans not showing him the respect he deserves. He also knows that his contract is coming up and that it is no coincidence that he is wrestling three other men and does not even need to be pinned to lose the AEW World Championship. He then says Tony Khan and other people are pressing the panic button, then says he might as well take his ball and go home, because the AEW World Championship is his ball and he has been faster than anyone else can keep up. He says that while his opponents are talented, they are not on his level. Darby Allin soon shows up, and MJF tells him he is busy before asking if he has something to say to his face. Allin says he has lost a lot in his life, but he has never lost his mind and he knows who he is. He then says that was not always the case, as everyone told him to play it safe and not expect much in life. He says he listened to those people and ended up cleaning toilets at the 99 cent store, and he went from doing that to living in his car and working to be a professional wrestler. He says AEW saved his sanity and allowed him to live as he wants in and out of the ring, as no other company will allow him to do the extreme stuff that he has done. He says that he is who he is and that nobody can create him, and this Sunday, he is taking the AEW World Championship and he might just take it with a headlock takeover. MJF then kicks him in the groin, then Sammy Guevara and Jungle Boy show up. MJF soon gets laid out.

We hear from Wardlow and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson. He says Powerhouse Hobbs may think he has the advantage, but he has spent his life climbing ladders and bets he could stick a 16-foot ladder in his mouth. Anderson says that while a man can do dirty things with a ladder, it will not compare to what Wardlow will do to him.

He says that he was always the best of friends with The Young Bucks, and while his friendship with Kenny Omega has been different, they have always been like family. He says their friendship has taken them to Anarchy In The Arena, then says the cost that The Blackpool Combat Club has run up is too high and that The Elite will see them on Sunday.

Tony Schiavone moderates a contract signing between Adam Cole and Chris Jericho for their unsanctioned match at Double or Nothing. Adam Cole shows up first with Roderick Strong, followedy by Chris Jericho with The Jericho Appreciation Society. After he signs the contract, Adam Cole says he wants to know why Jericho had him handcuffed to the bottom rope while Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. was beaten with a Kendo stick as Jericho directed traffic. He says that Jericho truly believes that he is invincible and can do what he wants, whenever he wants, and that he should be thankful that AEW is happy to have him. He then says they will see how invincible Jericho is when he beats the hell out of him. He also says he should be glad their match is unsanctioned, as the blood will be on his hands and not AEW's, which is the way that he likes it. Cole says it is taking all the energy in him to stop himself from beating him up from across the table, then tells Jericho that they will see if Jericho can do anything at all after he breaks him, then tells him to hurry up and sign the contract. Jericho is about to sign the contract when he shows the footage of Britt Baker being hit with a Kendo stick, then blames Cole for being destroyed with a Kendo stick. Strong stops Cole before he can hit him before Jericho calls Cole a coward. Jericho then says he will knock his teeth down his throat, because Cole knows he cannot beat him. Jericho then signs the contract before saying that Cole cannot beat him because he is outnumbered. Cole then says that he has evened the numbers game with a few phone calls, then reveals that he has called Sabu, who shows up and attacks Matt Menard with a chair, causing the J.A.S. to scatter.

After The Young Bucks flee into the crowd, Jon Moxley tells them that The Blackpool Combat Club will splatter them all over the pavement in Anarchy At The Arena, as they have not gone far enough and the fans have not seen anything yet.
