MJF is seen entering the arena and entering the ring to start tonight's show. There is a table in the ring - which has a red mat - and on the table is something covered in a red mantle. He throws down the AEW World Championship and re-introduces the "Triple B" before mentioning that the fans think that this is unfair and stating that anyone who thinks they are on his level should step up or get stepped on. He says that he is a stallion and that he is done slow-trotting around for all the donkey in the locker room, then says he is at a sprint and that he is not slowing down until he is the greatest of all time. All of a sudden, Kenny Omega appears on the video screen. He feels that he is approaching the end of his career and admits he hates that feeling, as he is leaving a stone unturned, and wonders if he could be champion again and wonders what would happen if MJF never beat him.He says that whatever it takes to prove he is worthy of a challenge, MJF will be seeing a lot more of him. MJF says that Omega was not man enough to say any of that to his face, then "Hangman" Adam Page shows up from out of the crowd with a chain around his neck. Right after that, Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana also appear. Swerve is also wearing a chain around his neck as he and Nana come out of the crowd, and the three of them head to the ring. Security soon shows up from backstage to hold them back, and MJF says that he is a professional wrestler and that wins and losses matter, and that Hangman and Swerve are losers. He tells them to earn some wins, talk to Tony Khan and earn their chances so he can beat them again, but on his way out, Hangman and Swerve get past security. Hangman and Swerve soon lay security out. Hangman grabs a microphone and threatens to strangle MJF with the "Triple B" before he takes it away from him, and Swerve tells MJF to pray that Hangman gets to him before he does, then says that the hunt is on and "may the worst men win." The Opps (Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, Hook) soon show up on the video screen, and Samoa Joe says that the only man who deserves to be number one contender is him, "the rightful and robbed champion." He says he has "eternal obstacles" that are in his way of getting what is his, then sends Hook after Hangman for laying his hands on him so he can choke him on sight. Joe then sics Powerhouse Hobbs on Swerve before saying that they can do this next week as he does not want to spend any more time in "this broken, busted ass cow town." Hangman calls Samoa Joe is "new year, same dumbass" and wants Hook. Swerve wants a Lights Out match in response to Samoa Joe's threats.

Paul Heyman gets furious with the "CM Punk" chants and states that The Vision will main event WrestleMania five years from now, then announces Austin Theory as their newest member. Theory says he has worked his entire career for this moment, and declares Bron Breakker the next World Heavyweight Champion. Heyman then proclaims that the needs of The Vision preclude those of everyone else before CM Punk shows up. Punk calls out Bron Breakker, then says he could get in the ring, say a few things and then get destroyed. He then says he likes to look a man in the eyes before he puts him to sleep, and tells The Vision to make it just him and Breakker in the ring so he clear the air. Breakker agrees to these terms, and Punk and Breakker have a staredown in the middle of the ring. Breakker states that The Vision is looking towards the future, and that he will become the next World Heavyweight Champion.

Punk tells Breakker that he has made a mistake of assuming what he thinks of him, then says Breakker that while Breakker is more ready than anyone else in The Vision, the World title is a privilege to carry and he is not ready to let it go.

He says that someday, someone will beat him for the World title, but it will not be Breakker.

Iyo tells Kairi that she is lost and that it is too late, for she has chosen the wrong path. She says Asuka was her senpai, but the student has become the master, and next week, they will teach The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) a lesson in respect and become Women's Tag Team Champions.

Maxxine Dupri heads to the ring. Maxxine says that she would not be standing in the ring as a champion if it were not for the fans and brags about how she made Becky Lynch tap to an ankle lock before Becky Lynch shows up.
