The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) show up on the video screen. They announce that Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay's tag team match, which is scheduled for the second hour, is actually happening right now. Will Ospreay shows up running to the ring while taping up his wrists, while Swerve Strickland is better prepared.
Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland beat Blake Christian and "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson. During the match, The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) show up to watch the match from the top of the ramp, which briefly catches Ospreay and Swerve off guard. After the match, The Young Bucks put security guards between them and the team of Swerve and Ospreay. Swerve says he has had it with The Young Bucks, then proposes that he and Ospreay have a match with them at All In Texas. Ospreay also proposes that they up the stakes, and states that the fans, not The Young Bucks, are why AEW exists, and that they are tired of The Young Bucks abusing their power. Ospreay then demands that The Young Bucks' EVP titles be put on the line, then Swerve dives into The Young Bucks and security, which causes The Young Bucks to flee.
Backstage, we hear from The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson), who suspend Swerve Strickland for a week for putting his hands on an AEW official. "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada shows up with Rocky Romero, Trent Beretta and "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita, and The Young Bucks want Kota Ibushi to be softened up. Trent Beretta says he is up to the task. As everyone leaves, Takeshita looks at Okada and says "Remember, this is temporary." Okada says "Okay," and leaves.
Kota Ibushi beats Trent Beretta. After the match, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada shows up and has a staredown with Ibushi, then leaves. It is then announced that Ibushi and Okada will have a match next week.
We hear from Jon Moxley. He says that only thing we all have is the present moment, which slips through like sand. He wonders if "Hangman" Adam Page will seize the moment, then concludes that Hangman will fail to do so. He says that he has walked the path that he has walked to become World Champion, then says that he has zero sympathy for Hangman, as he shies away from his gifts and what he has been given, and that he will beat him at All In.
In backstage footage from earlier today, Renee Paquette interviews AR Fox when Ricochet shows up wanting to team up against "Speedball" Mike Bailey and "The Jet" Kevin Knight, mentioning their history together as well as his mission to find people who have what it takes to help him win championship gold. AR Fox is reluctant, but Ricochet makes him his partner anyway.
"Speedball" Mike Bailey and "The Jet" Kevin Knight beat Ricochet and AR Fox after Ricochet leaves AR Fox high and dry. After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews Speedball and Knight. Speedball says that AEW World Tag Team Championships have been held hostage for too long and that it is time for the titles to be rescued. Knight says that he and Speedball will be the ones to win the titles, and when he makes references to MVP's WWE theme song, he and Speedball are attacked by The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, MJF). MJF and MVP bring out a table from the back, and Knight is placed on the table before Speedball is choke slammed onto Knight through the table by Lashley. The Hurt Syndicate then head to the ring, and MVP begs for competition for Lashley and Shelton, even stating that he would be all too willing to give Speedball and Knight a shot at the titles on the condition that they can still walk. MVP then takes the microphone and brags about unmasking and beating Mistico before announcing that next week, he will enter a qualifying match for the Casino Gauntlet Match, and when he wins, he will get one step closer to the AEW World Championship. Suddenly, Mark Briscoe shows up and says MJF is taking too long on the microphone and to get out of the ring for his match, but MJF says The Hurt Syndicate does not care because they are stars. He says the fans love Briscoe before they are "dirt ugly and dirt poor" and have as many bills in their pockets as Briscoe has teeth in his mouth, then tells him to go to the back before he loses again and to go back to Delaware. Mark Briscoe says he can see through MJF and says the word of the day is "empathy," then says MJF is trying to compensate for a small penis, saying that if he was MJF and went nearly thirty years with "a teeny tiny kosher pickle in [his] pants," he would want to hang out with The Hurt Syndicate, too. MVP holds MJF back, and says The Hurt Syndicate will watch Briscoe lose from backstage.
Mark Briscoe beats Roderick Strong, Bandido and "The Alpha" Konsuke Takeshita in a Fatal 4-Way Match to earn the #1 spot in the Men's Casino Gauntlet Match.
Backstage, we hear from Adam Cole. He issues an open challenge for the TNT Championship against any member of The Don Callis Family on Collision.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway. Stokely is not happy with The Outrunners interrupting them last week, and on Collision, they want to meet with them in the ring to clear the air.
"Hangman" Adam Page beats The Beast Mortos. After the match, the lights go out, and when they come back on, The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) are in the ring, and they hit Hangman with an EVP-Trigger. The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli, Marina Shafir) show up, and Moxley chokes Hangman with a chain before The Opps (Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata) show up to try to get in the ring. Will Ospreay soon shows up, and The Death Riders and The Young Bucks are forced to flee. Hangman is checked on by medical as the show ends.
