Jon Moxley and "The Problem" Marina Shafir head to the ring from the crowd. Moxley wonders if Darby Allin is "somewhere out in Milwaukee [, Wisconsin]" last night then concludes that he is not, then talks about how he wrestled him for twenty minutes and saw something special. Moxley also says that Darby not only walks his own path, but knows how to play the game to the point that he was able to get to AEW and perform for the fans. He says that he wants to talk with Darby, but warns that he is not a patient man.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Learning Tree ("The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho, Big Bill, "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith). Chris Jericho says Orange Cassidy had no idea what he got himself into when he ruined his $7,000 jacket, and that Bryan Keith will squeeze the $7,000 out of Orange's hide on Collision. Big Bill says a sign of character is making good on one's debts, something that Bryan Keith agrees with. Orange Cassidy shows up and says that if Bryan Keith can beat him on Friday, then he will give Jericho his $7,000.

We hear from "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo, who says that every artist goes through phases and that the Texas Bullrope Match was supposed to be her magnum opus, but it wasn't. She then says that she is not done making art and that she has only just begun.
Mercedes Moné and Kamille head to the ring. Mercedes says she is feeling "some type of way" after successfully defending against Momo Watanabe and that Hikaru Shida is, too, and asks how Shida is "the ace" when she is not TBS Champion. Mercedes says she is the face of both AEW and TBS, and at All Out, Shida will learn that there is a price to pay for messing with her. Suddenly, Shida appears on the video screen. Shida says she came close to winning the TBS Champion until Kamille got involved, and says Mercedes cannot beat her. Interim EVP Christopher Daniels then shows up and bars Kamille from ringside at All Out. Shida then says "Sayonara, bitch!" to Mercedes, who - along with Kamille - is now livid.
We hear from The Elite (Matthew Jackson, Nicholas Jackson, "Scapegoat" Jack Perry). Jack Perry talks about how he was in the ring three years ago when "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson first set foot in an AEW ring, and hoped that he would one day face him. Fast forward to now, he thought he would never get his chance, but he did not give up. He says that he changed the person that he was and did everything that he had to do on his own to get back to AEW, and says that Danielson did not care to help because he only cared about his fairytale ending. He then says that it will not be a happy ending for him where it all began three years later. Matthew Jackson says The Elite will do anything to ensure the AEW World Championship comes back to them where it belongs.
"The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson guests on commentary for the next match.
PAC and The Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta) retain the AEW World Trios Championships against Will Ospreay and The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy and Kyle O'Reilly). After the match, as "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson celebrates with Claudio and Yuta, The Elite (Matthew Jackson, Nicholas Jackson, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, "Scapegoat" Jack Perry) attack from behind. Jack Perry is about to smack Danielson in the head with a metal folding chair when Claudio stops him. The Elite retreat and pull Jack Perry out of the ring before Danielson can kick Perry's head in. Claudio tells The Elite that they just made the biggest mistake of their lives and that he has been in a gold-collecting mood as of late, and since he has nothing to do at All Out, he wants the tag team titles. Danielson then addresses Jack Perry, who says that there a lot of people who are sick and tired of him. He guarantees that at All Out, Jack Perry will "get his fucking head kicked in."
Backstage, Will Ospreay and PAC are still brawling despite protest from nearby officials, and PAC hits Ospreay with a brainbuster on top of some road crates. PAC then tells Ospreay that he warned him to underestimate him at his own peril before leaving.

Tony Schiavone oversees a contract signing for "Hangman" Adam Page vs. Swerve Strickland in a steel cage match at All Out. Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana are introduced first, followed by "Hangman" Adam Page. When "Hangman" Adam Page's music hits, however, Hangman is nowhere to be seen at first. When he fails to show up on the second playing on his music, it is soon revealed that Hangman is at Swerve's childhood house. Hangman says they both know their match is going to happen and that they do not need a contract signing, then says he looked all over for Swerve until he realized Swerve showed something important to him: his childhood home. Hangman tries to bring up unpleasant memories and says that Swerve's father probably did not even love him, and says the world world have been better if he had not been born. We then see him throwing gasoline at the walls, and Swerve becomes enraged. Hangman mentions Swerve spying on him at his own home and telling him that he must make a decision, then continues to pour gasoline on the ground around the house as he says there is nothing he wanted more out of this life than to bring Swerve's world to the ground. He says that if he could not be the one to take the AEW World Championship from him, he would be the one to make it slip through the fingers, and inside a steel cage, he will take Swerve's pride and dignity, and Swerve will be begging for mercy and pleading for forgiveness when he will refuse to. He tells Swerve to say goodbye to the AEW World Championship or any ideas of holding it again, his health, his career, his joy and his happiness. He then says Swerve will get practice tonight before lighting the gasoline ablaze and setting the house on fire.
Here are the highlights from tonight's show!
