"Hangman" Adam Page beats "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander after fending off Lance Archer and Rocky "Azucar" Romero as Don Callis distracts the referee. After the match, Hangman says he did not spill a gallon of his blood to win the AEW World Championship only to have MJF change the stipulations of his matches and have every opponent have someone like Don Callis with them. He says the most important word of "All Elite Wrestling" is "wrestling," which is what he plans to do as AEW World Champion. Suddenly, Don Callis returns with "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher. Fletcher says Hangman's sentiment is lovely, but says it does not matter, for while Hangman holds the title, The Don Callis Family runs AEW. He also mentions that he is awaiting an answer to his proposal. Hangman says Fletcher is lucky after what he did last week, and says that if he wants to speak to him, then he needs to get in the ring and look him in the eyes as he does it. Callis allows Fletcher to enter the ring, and Hangman tells Fletcher that he sees potential in him, yet he cannot put on his socks. He also admits that above all else, he sees himself six years ago standing across the ring from Chris Jericho hoping to be World Champion, but after last week, he is not ready. Fletcher says he has heard this all before and that he decides when his prime is, saying it begins right now and will continue for as long as he pleases. He says he is ready to be a World Champion right now. Hangman tells Fletcher that if he truly wants this, he will give him a shot at the AEW World Championship at All Out. At the same time, he must do it himself and earn it, leave Don Callis behind, and find some socks. Fletcher says he does not need anyone to beat him, and while it will be man-to-man at All Out, he will be leaving with the AEW World Championship and will not fail like Hangman has before.

Stokely Hathaway and FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) head to the ring. Stokely says that their match at All Out is going to be a fight that FTR is going to win. He says that the fans look like "extras from Roseanne" and that none of them get any hoes. Dax Harwood says this could and should have been a dream match, then dares anybody in the crowd to fight him. As FTR mouths off at a fan, they soon jump a cameraman and a member of security, and referees have to run in to restore order.

We hear from Hook, who says that he is cool with Samoa Joe and The Opps (Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata) having his back. He says that his being replaced is what it is, then says it is time to stand on his own...or maybe not.

After the match, Brodido attack The Young Bucks and take their brawl to the back while The Deather Riders attack The Opps. As this goes on, Darby Allin runs into the ring and beats up Moxley when he is suddenly attacked from behind by Daniel Garcia in a black hoodie. Marina Shafir then allows Daniel Garcia the honor of curb stomping Darby Allin into a metal folding chair while the fans chant "Fuck you, Danny!"
