Tony Schiavone interviews Jack Perry in the ring. Perry says he gave Jerry Lynn a week and demands he come out to the ring and take his ass whupping like a man. Jerry Lynn shows up and tells Perry he does not run the show around here, and that facing him in the ring "would be nothing more than child abuse." He also says he does not run the show around here and that all the plates and screws in his neck ensure that no doctor can clear him. He then says that he called up an old friend who can still wrestle today: Rob Van Dam. Rob Van Dam comes out to his now-legendary Extreme Championship Wrestling entrance theme, and Jack Perry rolls out of the ring and leaves only to come back with a chair. RVD sees it coming thanks to Jerry, and Jack Perry is forced to retreat.

MJF heads to the ring. MJF admits that he is a bit emotional tonight and mentions his Attention Deficit Disorder as well as his Rejection Sensitive Disorder, and admits he cannot regular sensitive-based emotions and behaviors, which makes life difficult for him. He says he been lied to, abused, bullied, beaten up, and he specifically and vividly remembers a day where kids throw handfuls of quarters at him saying "Pick 'em up, Jew boy, pick 'em up," to the point that it still haunts him and forced him to stab people in the back to survive.He says he been horribly mistreated throughout his life, and he vividly remembers a day where kids throw handfuls of quarters at him saying "Pick 'em up, Jew boy, pick 'em up," to the point that it still haunts him and forced him to stab people in the back to survive. He admits that this made him no better than the people who mistreated him and states that while being a scumbag is easy, being himself is harder, and he knew that if he was booed, it would bring him back to being that scared, vulnerable person he once was. After stating that he has realized that not everyone is as bad as he has made them out to be, MJF then says that he is not scared anymore and that he is amazed people love him. He states that some of the fans have "sympathy for the Devil" and while he cannot change overnight and he is still a scumbag, he wants to be "your scumbag." He then credits someone he realized he could trust for telling him that living with hate in one's heart is no way to live and that even the Devil can have a friend. That person is Adam Cole, whom he invites to the ring. Adam Cole shows up and heads to the ring, then tells MJF that he continues to impress him everyday not just because he is one of the best at such a young age, but because of the man that he is becoming and explaining his story. He then tells MJF that he is not alone, saying that he himself was a jerk for years, not because he needed to do it to succeed, but because he did not understand what being a man was, and tells MJF that he is becoming the man that he was meant to be and that the fans love and adore him and want to cheer for him not just because of his ability, but because "there is a good guy in there."Adam Cole tells MJF that not only is he proud of him, but so are the fans. MJF says that as much as he enjoyed performing "verbal fellatio" on him, he is still a scumbag, then plugs his and Adam's new shirt. MJF then admits that he brought Adam Cole out to uphold his promise to give him a shot at the AEW World Heavywight Championship, then tells him that he does not deserve a match before producing a contract and telling him he deserves "the match." He then tells Adam Cole that the match will be at All In in Wembley Stadium in London, England, and that he does not know of anyone more deserving of such a match than Adam. He then asks Adam to sign the match so that they can make history, and Adam signs the contract. Backstage, a seething Roderick Strong destroys a monitor backstage, and The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) show up. Matt Taven says that Adam Cole seems to forget about his real friends before he and Mike Bennett leave.

We hear from The Mogul Embassy. AR Fox says that there may not be a Darby Allin without him, then says Darby never said a word to him for five years until they met backstage in AEW and that he plans to take everything from Darby.

Fox and Swerve then beat everyone else up before overpowering Nick Wayne. Swerve smashes a picture of a younger Nick Wayne with his father Buddy Wayne on Nick's back, then lays it on the side of the ring. A bloodied Nick Wayne reaches for his phone, and Swerve takes the phone and forces Nick Wayne to unlock it and call Darby Allin. Swerve asks Darby why he could not make one phone call to AR Fox when he got signed to AEW, then tells Darby that they are the ghosts of his past and that this is just the beginning. AR Fox then breaks a window with a skateboard as Nick Wayne lies in a pool of his own blood.
