FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway head to the ring to start tonight's show. Dax Harwood says that there was "a miscarriage of justice" at Forbidden Door and that people around the world could not celebrate their third AEW World Tag Team Championship win, which immediately leads to "Shut the fuck up" chants. Dax says the illegal man pinned him, then mentions that the man he wants to talk to - referee Paul Turner - is in the ring right now. Dax proceeds to call Paul Turner a failure and brings up his wife and child, and demands that Turner admit he was wrong, reverse his decision and declare FTR the new World Tag Team Champions.When Paul Turner declares that his decision is final, Stokely Hathaway proceeds to directly insult him with FTR joining in, then says Turner wants to appease both the fans in the arena and online. The fans chant "No hoes" before poking him in the chest as he calls him an idiot. Paul Turner pokes back and calls him an idiot back, and as FTR confront Paul Turner, Adam Copeland shows up, looks over his shoulder briefly, and heads to the ring. Christian Cage shows up from the other side of the ring and hits Stokely with the Killswitch, then Copeland gets in the ring where he and Christian brawl with FTR. Referees and security quickly rush in to restore order.Christian then tags the microphone and says his problem was taken care of at Forbidden Door, and now, they take care of Copeland's problem.

After the commercial break, Wheeler Yuta is back in the ring with the microphone. Yuta says there is a lot more of the show to go and that he will not leave until he says his piece. He talks about how he is from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and how everything he has done has led to this. He says that it bothered him how little he is respected until he realized that he is a Death Rider and how the fans' jeers mean jack shit. He mentions Will Ospreay's, Chuck Taylor's and Bryan Danielson's injuries, and how he slayed and replaced Danielson until the lights go out. Hook shows up for the first time in months, and Yuta tries to fight him only for Hook to put him in Redrum and hit him with a Superman Punch.

We hear from MJF in backstage footage from Forbidden Door. He talks about how the fans hate him, then says he deserves better than he is treated by the fans and by AEW, as he is the best in the world. MJF says he did Mark Briscoe a favor when he released him and says he should have set him on fire, which he vows he will do when he sees him again. He also gets angry at Tony Khan for making it so that he can no longer cash in his contract whenever he wants and is forced to give advance notice, and that when he finally uses his contract, he will not only take the AEW World Championship from "Hangman" Adam Page, but also Hangman's soul.

He says that MJF threw everything and every trick he had at him and failed, and after everything MJF has done, MJF has to give a seven-day notice before challenging again, and says that if MJF signs the contract, he will beat his ass before the ink is dry. Suddenly, Don Callis shows up and says he and Hangman have a long history and that he only won the AEW World Championship from him because he had a weakling defending it. Callis declares he wants the AEW World Championship back in his family, and that he has half of the locker room in his family and that it is only a question of which family member will take it from him. Lance Archer, "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander, Rocky "Azucar" Romero and Hechicero show up, and Hangman tries to fight them all only for the numbers game to catch up to him.
