The Don Callis Family (Mark Davis and Jake Doyle) decimate The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) in an AEW World Tag Team Championships Eliminator Match and earn a shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championships.
The Don Callis Family ("The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Jet" Kevin Knight) beat Adam Copeland and Will Ospreay after "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, who initially shows up and distracts Adam Copeland, hits Copeland in the corner with the AEW International Championship after Fletcher jumps over the Spear. After the match, Okada, Fletcher and Knight attack Copeland, and Ospreay is overpowered when he goes for the save. Okada hits a busted-open Copeland with the Rainmaker, then Mark Davis, Jake Doyle and Wardlow head to the ring. All six men surround Ospreay as Don Callis enters the ring with the AEW World Championship, and Ospreay has no chance against The Don Callis Family. Callis then hands the AEW World Championship to Fletcher, and after Wardlow knocks Copeland out, Fletcher hits Ospreay with the AEW World Championship. Suddenly, Darby Allin shows up with a now-recovered Steven Borden, and both men attack with a skateboard and a bat. Nick Jackson also shows up with a wooden oar to help out, and The Don Callis Family is sent running out of the ring. Steven Borden then declares on the microphone that he is back for blood and guts.
Swerve Strickland beats Tome Filip with a House Call before the bell and a Vertebreaker after. After the match, Prince Nana helps Swerve back into his jacket, then Swerve makes a beeline straight back up the entrance ramp.
Orange Cassidy and "Switchblade" Jay White beat The Death Riders (Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia).

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Hangman" Adam Page and Brodido (Brody King and Bandido). Brody King says they would not be here tonight if it were for Bandido, then Prince Nana shows up and says Swerve Strickland and The New Level (Kofi and "Awesome" Austin Creed) want the Trios Championships back. Swerve also shows up demanding a rematch, and Hangman - noting that Swerve gave them a rematch - says that fair is fair and grants it. Swerve names Full Gear as the time and place, and Hangman accepts. Swerve says that three years ago at Full Gear, he "hanged the Hangman," then says he is living in the future, not the past, and that he wants the match to be a Texas Death Match. Hangman says there is no way he will drag Brodido into that, and says that there will be a match, but it will not be a Texas Death Match. Swerve says this is non-negotiable, and Hangman says that Swerve has no leverage and that this is about something other than the Trios titles before he declines again. Swerve says "We'll see."
"The Prodigy" Nick Wayne shows up at the arena, notices Chris Jericho on the production truck, laughs, and shows off the "Nick Wayne beat Chris Jericho" shirt under his jacket before the pyro in the arena goes off. The shirt is now available at ShopAEW.
Renee Paquette interviews Mercedes Moné in the ring. Mercedes, who is no longer wearing a protective mask, says she still has a broken nose that has failed to stop her from beating Willow Nightingale and "The Toxic Spider" Thekla, saying Thekla was barely up to her knees and not on her level. Mercedes then kicks Renee out of the ring before stating that she is the most decorated woman in all of professional wrestling and that she does not chase the spotlight because she is the spotlight. She then wants to know who is next to face her after taking out the trash in AEW, and the challenge is soon answered by "The Problem" Marina Shafir, who shows up, stares down Mercedes, and tells her not to be a pussy. Mercedes takes offense to this, then leaves the ring. Roderick Strong shows up for the next match, with Jon Moxley already in the ring having shown up with Shafir.
Jon Moxley beats Roderick Strong in an AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match by submission with a sleeper hold. After the match, Roderick Strong is attacked from behind by Clark Connors and David Finlay; Moxley, having just rolled out of the ring to leave through the crowd, gets back in the ring and chews them out. When Moxley turns his back, Connors and Finlay attack Moxley, and Connors wraps his belt around Moxley's neck before Finley pulls out a shillelagh. Gabe Kidd shows up, takes away the shillelagh, and nearly goes at it with Connors and Finlay. Connors then hits Gabe Kidd with a Spear out of the corner. Roderick Strong gets in the ring to make the save, but he is attacked along with Moxley. It takes Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly and "Switchblade" Jay White coming to the ring to force Finlay and Connors to retreat. All of a sudden, Switchblade hits Orange with a Blade Runner, and the rest of The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin) and Claudio Castagnoli show up to brawl with one another. The Dogs (Connors and Finlay) and The Bang Bang Gang gang up on Claudio Castagnoli, and when Claudio Castagnoli gets the upper hand, it takes a tire iron to the back from Connors to take him down and allow The Dogs and The Bang Bang Gang to gang up on him. Claudio then gets cracked with a shillelagh by Finlay, and Switchblade hits Moxley with the Blade Runner. The Dogs and The bang Bang Gang then do the "Guns Up" sign to cement their allegiance.

"The Prodigy" Nick Wayne heads to the ring. Nick Wayne says that he beat Chris Jericho, then the pyro on the stage goes off. He then says "twice." He then says that he beat Chris Jericho again, and the pyro goes off again. He then says "twice" again, then says that Jericho needs to come to the ring and stand face-to-face with him and apologize. Jericho fails to show, then Nick Wayne says he should have known better before the pyro goes off again and Jericho arrives. Nick Wayne is surprised that Jericho is here, but he is glad, as he says that Jericho must have been dreading this moment all week while he has looked forward to it. He then demands that Jericho say he is sorry. When Jericho says that he is sorry, Nick Wayne keeps interrupting him. Jericho has to tell Nick Wayne to shut up so he can apologize, then says that Nick Wayne knew more than he thought he did and that he has learned lessons from him. Jericho says the outcome would have been different at WrestleDream, then Nick Wayne brags with the pyro again before demand that Jericho cut to the chase and say he is sorry. Jericho says "Good lord, are you ever a douchebag!" He then says he was a douchebag at Nick Wayne and would never have apologized then, then says that he knows now when he is wrong, and says sorry to Nick Wayne. Jericho says sorry for underestimating Nick Wayne and how good he was, then says that Nick Wayne learned something from him and that he reached a turning point in his career and became a superstar just like he did during his own career. He says that if Nick Wayne keeps doing what he is doing and really hears what others teach him, he will become a multiple-time world champion and one of the greats in this business. He then tells Nick Wayne "Don't fuck it up" and leaves the ring while Nick Wayne laughs.

Don Callis brags about his family's success tonight, and "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher announces that he has an official victory over Will Ospreay. Callis says that his family will bring the guts while their opposition will bring the blood that they will spill before taking all the championships and the money that comes with them, with he and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada agreeing that the only thing more important is family.
We hear from The Opps (Samoa Joe, Hook, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata, Action Andretti). Samoa Joe says Clockwork Carnage may not have went his way in the end, but it made him realize that the AEW World Championship belongs to him and that nobody will stand in his way. "Jungle" Jack Perry shows up and says Joe did not kick his ass enough and that Joe still owes him a handshake. He then says that he will have to find a way to get it from him, and he wants another match. Joe says he cannot think of a better city to lick his wounds than Miami, Florida, and that he will take care of business very soon.
