After the match, Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D.'s music hits, but Britt does not show up at the ramp. Kamille grabs a fan in a Sting mask in the front row, but it proves not to be Britt, who appears out of the audience and enters the ring behind Mercedes. Britt gets Mercedes in the Lockjaw, but Kamille pulls Mercedes out of the ring before Britt can lock in the hold.

We see footage of MJF defending the AEW American Championship against Michael Oku and Will Ospreay showing up before MJF can attack Oku's fianceé in Revolution Pro.

We see a video package for Will Ospreay vs. MJF for the AEW American Championship at All In.

Backstage, we hear from PAC, who says that he is the number one contender for the AEW American Championship, yet Will Ospreay went behind his back and got a match with MJF for the title at All In. He says he is sick and tired of being overlooked, unappreciated and being treated like a bum, but he has gotten revenge and that he will face whoever wins the title two weeks later at All Out and take back what is his.

We hear from Darby Allin, who talks about how he killed himself for nearly nothing in the independents before he got to AEW, then says that AEW is just going to be a place where The Elite (Nicholas Jackson, Matthew Jackson, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada) are going to hire their friends and that "Scapegoat" Jack Perry can finally be himself, who is a child who takes everything for granted. Darby says he puts his body on the line because he takes nothing for granted, and wishes that Perry had gotten fired as nobody misses him and Perry added nothing to AEW. He says that it will all come to an end at All In.

Darby Allin is attacked with a flying knee by "Scapegoat" Jack Perry on the stage before dragging Darby to the back. Backstage, Perry and Darby brawl, and Perry traps Darby underneath a metal door before telling Darby that he only sacrifices for himself and pretends to be a hero. Security gets involved before Perry can ram a road crate into Darby's head.

We hear from "The Glamour" Mariah May, who asks if it is better to be remember or to be forgotten; to be her to be "Timeless" Toni Storm. She says that last year, Toni failed, and this year, it is all about her. She says Toni's biggest mistake was being alive at the same time as her, and if she wants to be a star, then it is time for her to burn, and Toni will be obsessed with her until the day she dies. Mariah says that she will look out the window and wonder what happen to Toni, then says both of them will die and that she will be the one to write her eulogy.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Mina Shirakawa, who has not heard from Mariah May and has not spoken with "Timeless" Toni Storm. She did not expect Mariah to be so vicious and Toni to be so upset. She just hopes that neither of them really get hurt.

Darby Allin vs "Scapegoat" Jack Perry for the TNT Championship at All In is officially a Coffin Match.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Claudio Castagnoli and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada for a no-physicality face-to-face match. Claudio Castagnoli says the Continental Championship for him to lose, and when he did not win it last year, he was crushed, but he has another shot and he wants to make it count in Europe. Okada calls Claudio "passionate," then says he is the greatest tournament winner of all time and that Claudio will respect him when he beats him in Cardiff, Wales and continues on to the Continental Classic, then says "Good luck, bitch." After Okada leaves, Claudio says he wants "the true Rainmaker" and not the Okada he just saw, as he will bring his best like he does every time he gets in the ring, and hopes Okada will be ready because he will have 99 problems, and "this bitch" will be number one.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Patriarchy (Christian Cage, "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne, Killswitch, Mama Wayne). Christian Cage says that he called the main event of Collision right down the middle like he said he would and that it was on both teams that they could not get up before the count of ten. Christian then claims that he will hold all the titles in AEW at the same time, and that "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne will make an example out of Kip Sabian, then removes Renee from the interview as he says that The Patriarchy will reign over AEW now and forever.

Tony Schiavone interviews Hook in the ring. Hook shows up with a bandage over his left eye. Hook says he cannot see out of his left eye, then says that the problem for "The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho is that he can see Jericho with the other and he is sick of his shit. He says he wants his title back, and he wants Jericho right now. The Learning Tree (Chris Jericho, Big Bill, "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith) shows up, and Jericho calls Hook "one stupid son of a bitch" who still wants to challenge him even after he was blinded in one eye, then teases fighting Hook before telling him he is not getting a fight. Jericho says Norfolk, Virginia is not worth his time, but Wembley Stadium in London, England is, and he will get his match, on the condition that it is Hook's final shot at the FTW Championship. He also gives Hook the match on the condition that Hook faces Big Bill in Cardiff. Big Bill says he will beat Hook down and shove him "straight up Taz's ass," which Bryan Keith reiterates. Hook accepts the match, saying he looks forward to dropping Big Bill on his head and tearing Jericho limb from limb, and after Wembley Stadium, Jericho will "never, ever be the same again."

The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships against The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster and Anthony Bowens) by disqualification after FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) show up to revive the ref after he is sandwiched between the corner and Max Caster by Nicholas Jackson only for Harwood to beat Nicholas up for spitting at him. "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn (who has been ejected from the match earlier after The Young Bucks tricked him into doing it) and security show up to stop both FTR and The Acclaimed from brawling as The Young Bucks walk away with a disqualification win. Afterwards, Renee Paquette interviews Interim EVP Christopher Daniels after both have watched the match. Daniels announces that on Collision, FTR and The Acclaimed will face off, with the winners facing The Young Bucks for the tag titles at All In.

"The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson is in the front row for the next match.

Swerve Strickland beats Wheeler Yuta by referee stoppage following a boot to the face and two House Calls before kicking Yuta's face in. After the match, Danielson runs to the ring to save Yuta, and Swerve says that what he did to Yuta is an example of what he will do to Danielson in two weeks. Swerve then hopes Danielson brings his family so his daughter can watch his last match as he cripples him and forces him to fulfill his retirement promise. Swerve walks away, then runs back into the ring and hits Danielson with a House Call before mocking him.

Here are the highlights from tonight's show!
