Jon Moxley and Will Ospreay are suddenly seen brawling backstage. Wheeler Yuta pulls Ospreay off Moxley only to get attacked, too, and security has to get involved while Marina Shafir checks on Moxley.

MJF and Kenny Omega head to the ring for their contract signing. MJF signs the contract first, then passes it off to Kenny Omega, who does the same. MJF compliments Omega's signature, then Omega stops him, saying that he knows what MJF is going to do and that it will not work this time and go the way that he has planned. Omega says that everyone is here to watch the best wrestle, not to see MJF, and that everyone stood behind him because they wanted to see something better than MJF. He also admits he may be the god of professional wrestler if he is the antithesis to MJF and that he will be the one to strike MJF and ensure he never becomes World Champion again. MJF says he could sit and talk about how Omega's bones are aging as fast as Canadian bagged milk or how Kota Ibushi is one strong gust away from retirement, but that would be too easy, and he wants to talk about what Omega doesn't: Omega's sudden want for the world title. MJF mentions that Omega's diverticulitis is to the point that Omega's organs can explode any time, any point, anywhere. He says that Omega's time is on a fast, winding clock to cement his legacy, and when he is done, his fans will be embarassed of him. MJF says that Omega's fans will realize that Omega is nothing more than a false idol who is better off dead. Omega topples the table, then "Speedball" Mike Bailey stops Omega and says MJF is trying to get Omega to strike him to get out of defending the AEW World Championship. He calls MJF a coward and says he should be thanking Omega, stating that with no Omega, there is no MJF. Speedball says that respect is earned and that Omega is a respectable living legend while MJF is only a living legend in his own mind, and that some of MJF's ego would be lessened if he kicked him in the head in the finest country of Earth. Omega says that while his organs are not what they used to be and while he is missing 24 inches of intestines, he would rather miss those than miss his balls. MJF accepts Speedball's challenge, but warns Speedball that he will make an example out of him before calling Canada a dump and proclaiming that the United States is all that matters. He tells Speedball that he is not wrestling the usual MJF, but an American hero.

Kenny Omega, Brody King and "Jungle" Jack Perry beat The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) in a trios match.

Backstage, we hear from Willow Nightingale. Willow hopes to defend the TBS Championship tomorrow night on Collision and wants to wrestle the very best. She wants to see who steps up to the challenge.

Backstage, Renee Paquette announces that Adam Copeland and Christian Cage are arriving. Copeland has a chair as he and Christian shows up, but Copeland says they are here to take out FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) as well as anyone in their way. Christian almost hits Renee, but Copeland stops him.

Backstage, Adam Copeland and Christian Cage find FTR's (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) locker room, but find Trent Beretta and Rocky "Azcuar" Romero instead. Beretta and Romero tell them that FTR will be on Collision tomorrow. Christian considers Beretta and Romero to be in their way, and he and Copeland whack them with chairs.

Will Ospreay beats PAC after pinning PAC while still in the Brutalizer while PAC is rolling him away from the ropes. After the match, PAC attacks Ospreay, but Ospreay hits Hidden Blade. Daniel Garcia and Wheeler Yuta get in the ring and stomp Ospreay while Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir show up with a metal folding chair. Claudio Castagnoli shows up to wrap the chair around Ospreay's head, and Moxley stops Claudio from stomping the chair to speak to Ospreay. Moxley asks Ospreay how he thought this would go, and asks if either he of Ospreay put Ospreay in this position before advising Ospreay to use his head next time or lose it permanently. Moxley says this is not personal for him, and tells Ospreay not to make it personal.

The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) and Mina Shirakawa beat Triangle of Madness (Julia Hart, Skye Blue, "The Toxic Spider" Thekla) after Jamie Hayter stops Thekla from using brass knuckles during the match.

Darby Allin heads to the ring and calls out MJF. He says that MJF is playing games with The Don Callis Family because he is scared and knows that he is willing to die for the AEW World Championship. He says that he does not care who beats MJF as long as someone ends his world title run. Darby calls out MJF, but gets The Don Callis Family, and Callis says MJF has paid his family a lot of money and has asked him to deliver a message. MJF has stated that if Darby can defeat a hand-picked member of The Don Callis Family, he will grant Darby a title shot after he beats Kenny Omega. Callis picks Andrade to face Darby, then sics his family on Darby, saying MJF paid him to do that as well. Lance Archer gets smacked with a skateboard, and Brody King and "Jungle" Jack Perry show up to help Darby out. All three men then stare each other down, then Kenny Omega shows up. Darby says something to Omega on his way out, then Omega high-fives the fans in the front row before guesting on commentary for the next match.

MJF beats "Speedball" Mike Bailey with a Tombstone Piledriver on the apron followed by the Heatseeker. After the match, MJF attacks Speedball, but Omega quickly gets in the ring, causing MJF to quickly retreat. Speedball is able to get back to his feet.
