Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita, Don Callis and Powerhouse Hobbs. Don Callis says they are victims of their own success as nobody wants to wrestle Takeshita or Hobbs. He says he has all the talent with Revolution coming up and that they need to be on the pay-per-view. Callis says that he is looking in the family, and is pitting Takeshita against Will Ospreay for a match that people will talk about for years to come. He says that The Don Callis Family will win because they will be a family afterwards and everyone will be talking about them.

"Daddy Magic" Matt Menard guests on commentary for the next match.
Adam Copeland vs. Daniel Garcia ends in a no-contest after Killswitch and "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne attack Copeland. Shayna Wayne and "The Patriarch" Christian Cage soon show up, and Christian pulls a few chairs out from underneath the ring. "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard grabs one of the chairs and confronts Christian, but he is clubbed from behind by Killswitch. Killswitch his Daniel Garcia with a chokeslam, then Nick Wayne and Christian Cage ready Garcia for a Con-Chair-To before Copeland fends them all off with a chair of his own. As Christian begs Copeland off in the corner, Shayna Wayne gets behind Copeland and hits him with a low blow. Wayne hits Copeland with Wayne's World, and Killswitch hits Copeland with the Extinction. Christian Cage then readies Adam Copeland for the Con-Chair-To and hits Copeland in the back of the head and neck. Christian Cage kisses the TNT Championship as The Patriarchy (Christian, Killswitch, Nick Wayne, Shayna Wayne) leaves the ring and Garcia checks on Copeland.
It is announced that Adam Copeland has been able to walk to the back, where he is currently being evaluated.
Samoa Joe heads to the ring. Joe says he comes with a spirit of apology, as his becoming champion brought back a ranking system and everything had been going well until Swerve Strickland and "Hangman" Adam Page battled tooth and nail for 30 minutes last week to a draw. He says the championship committee "took a page out of the Texas playbook" and made his championship match bigger and dumber, and now he finds himself in a three-way match. Joe says a crime has been committed against him and must be remediated, and guarantees he will hurt at least one of his challengers and leave them both limping out of the ring. Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana show up, and Swerve says that this was not supposed to be personal, but Joe ran his mouth. He also says Samoa Joe brought his resume and not his reputation, and that hunger makes a champion and that he himself is about to become the greatest champion of all time. Swerve says that nobody outgrinds him and demands Samoa Joe look at his resume and put respect on his name, and says he has gone toe-to-toe with champions and legends and made AEW his house. Swerve says that at Revolution, nothing changes except for the fact that he will hold the World Championship over his head. "Hangman" Adam Page shows up and says he is not mad about last week's match before saying last week's match was "horseshit," as he signed a contract to a match to decide a #1 contender and Swerve could not beat him. He says that if it were up to him, the championship match would be between two men who respect and value what the World Championship stands for, but Swerve has been added to the match. Hangman tells Swerve that after everything he has done to him, he does not deserve one second of his time, much less five more minutes, because he could not get the job done, and he does not deserve to be in the match. Samoa Joe says "this walking domestic dispute" ends tonight, and as far as Swerve and Hangman are concerned, he is whipping both of their asses.
We see the premiere of "Timeless" Toni Storm's new film, "Wet Ink," where Toni Storm talks about her history with "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo and how she got her into the wrestling world. She says that Deonna has forgotten who she is, and tells her that if she wants the old Toni, she will get that and so much more. She says that when one cannot change the past, you kill it. Meanwhile, a tattoo artist draws a dagger around her ankle tattoo. Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Deonna Purrazzo, who says that Toni Storm talks too much and that she will break her arm.
The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) arrive at the arena.
The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) beat Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) after Matthew hits Darius with a low blow while Nicholas distracts referee Rick Knox. After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews The Young Bucks in the ring. Matthew says they are undefeated this year, making them the top unbeatable tag team in AEW. He says that Top Flight are a great team, but after beating them, they are number one contenders. When Schiavone calls their attack on Sting "despicable," Matthew calls this a breach of contract for disparagement of the Executive Vice Presidents as well as a $1,000 fine before Nicholas shoulder barges Schiavone. Matthew says Nicholas is being a hothead, and helps him up while telling him not to let it happen again. As The Young Bucks are about to hit Schiavone with an EVP-Trigger, Darby Allin chases them out of the ring with a baseball bat. Darby Allin says AEW's mission statement was to change the world and calls The Young Bucks out for seeing nothing in him and hiring all of their "shit friends" first, and is thankful that there was an EVP with brains at the time (a reference to "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes) and it was not Kenny Omega. Darby then mentions The Young Bucks praising their schedule and the money they are making as reasons for their re-signing with AEW, and says AEW's mission statement is dead and that this is "All Friendship Wrestling." Darby tells The Young Bucks have no idea what they are getting into trying to be the opponents for Sting's final match and that Sting has nothing left to lose, then says it is showtime.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Bang Bang Scissor Gang. "Switchblade" Jay White says they have momentum, championship gold and new merchandise, but they have yet to test their cohesiveness. Austin Gunn proposes they have a twelve-man match on Rampage, which Daddy Ass then proposes, much to Austin's confusion.
