Tony Schiavone introduces FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway to the ring. Cash says that their recent actions have caused him to toss and turn at night, and that they just wanted Adam Copeland and Christian Cage to enjoy retirement, but Copeland brought his wife Beth Phoenix into this. He says that Copeland is to blame for all of this, then Stokely says that he forgives Beth for what she did to him at All Out, then says he allowed her to Spear him and that he knew Copeland and Christian needed Beth to win. Dax says he was advised to apologize for his actions, then says he will not apologize for dropping Copeland on his neck and dropping Christian on "his CTE-riddled brain." He also says he would never purposely hurt Beth, and that when he tried to reason with her, she punched in the nose and watered his eyes to the point that he thought Beth was Adam Copeland and dropped her on her head by accident. He says he would not put his hands on a woman, and he states that he uses that term loosely regarding Beth before Willow Nightingale suddenly shows up. Willow says that if Dax wrestled as good as he lied, he would have won, then brings up Beth and how she has been an inspiration for her to become a wrestler and put in the work to become All Elite and accomplish what she has done. She says that Beth is also the reason why women like her do not take shit from men like Dax, and says that FTR can give a more sincere apology or get out of the ring. When Stokely tells Willow to go watch some reruns of The Proud Family, Willow slaps him, then JetSpeed ("Speedball" Mike Bailey and "The Jet" Kevin Knight) show up to defend Willow. When FTR go for a cheap shot, JetSpeed takes them down.
In backstage footage from All Out, MJF says he is so angry yet he does not have the strength to yell anymore. He says he used to be the guy in AEW until Adam Cole came into his life and broke his heart before he lost the AEW World Championship, his mojo and everything. He admits he has accomplished a lot more since then, but now he is just playing the role of the man he used to be and that every time he has tried to snap himself out of it, he keeps doubting more and more. MJF states he was once at the top of the profession, but when he comes back, he will be the most dangerous he has ever been, and he will take his spot at the top of professional wrestling.
Before the next match, Don Callis shows off some of the artwork that he has made over the past few years before announcing he has been working on his masterpiece for the last six days and six nights, and that he will unveil it tonight. He states that it is so big that it has to be rolled out, and a painting covered in a red cloth is revealed. The cloth is removed to reveal that Orange Cassidy is inside and that he has ruined Callis' painting. Cassidy is back as Mark Briscoe's third man. Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

After the match, "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher shows up and welcomes Orange Cassidy back, then says he proved that he belongs in the main event and at the top of the industry, and that one day, he will become AEW World Champion. He admits that the morning after his loss was the worst he has ever felt, but he looked into the mirror and remembered who he was, as he is on track on becoming the best TNT Champion of all time. He calls The Conglomeration "a bunch of dorks," then mentions Hologram's undefeated streak before stating he is only undefeated because he has never wrestled him. Fletcher then says he wants to get back on the horse by being the first to pin Hologram. Fletcher then challenges Hologram to a Title vs. Streak match for the 6-Year Anniversary show next week, and when he ends Hologram's streak, Hologram will say his full name.
