Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Thunder Rosa and The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross). Thunder Rosa says she is not afraid of The Divine Dominion, but Lena Kross says they can feel the fear. Bayne says that all that matters is how Thunder Rosa feels when they are done.

Jericho tells Ciampa that he considers him worthy of seeing a more serious version of him, as he knows how good he is and has been waiting to face him. He also says that he knows how smart he is, but asks if Ciampa can say the same about him. He says that Ciampa can list his accolades, but he has no way of knowing which version of Jericho he will get and that all of them will kick his ass. Ciampa says that this is the version of Jericho that he wanted from the beginning and that he wanted this match for a very long time. He then says that he has an idea, and that at Beach Break on July 8th, they will have a match, and Jericho will either prove who he says he is or prove that Ciampa is better than him.

We see the second part of Caprice Coleman's interview with Athena. Athena considers Billie Starkz a prodigy of pro wrestling, yet despite improving around her, she still does not listen. Nevertheless, Athena feels Billie has what it takes to survive in pro wrestling, but if she does not prove she can beat the best, she will be a minion forever. Athena says that Billie has tried to beat her, but has kept her in her place. She says that she tried to be a parent to her and have Billie's back, but when she tries things her way, she fails. She says that when she does listen, she succeeds. Athena says that Billie wears her emotions on her sleeve even though she does not want her to, and says that she and Billie are each others' supporters. When told that her greatest challengers are the ones that she has created, Athena says that this is by design, and that those who have stuck with her have survived the longest. Athena says Ring of Honor meant so much to her as a kid and when Tony Khan bought ROH, she took advantage of the situation and built herself and others up to the point that she has created multiple dream matches and the opportunity to give back every chance she gets.

Woods says he will wait until the pay-per-view to beat Nigel in front of the world and leaves, and Nigel says he might take some liberties himself.

We hear from Red Velvet, who says that Supercard of Honor is all about proving she is the best Women's World Television Champion of all time. She says that she and Viva Van go way back and have both teamed with and wrestled against each other and knows how talented Viva Van is, and she respects that as well as Viva Van. She then says respect does not change reality and that she made her title important, and that she carries the women's division on her back with pride. Red Velvet says she is the R in Ring of Honor and the V in TV Champion, and Viva Van will be facing the backbone of the women's division, and when the dust clears, she will still be champion.

Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor, "The Captain" Shawn Dean, "Bad News and Tattoos" Carlie Bravo) retain the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships against Eddie Kingston, Ortiz and Mance Warner after Christyan XO distracts both referee Stephon Smith and Mance Warner, allowing Shawn Dean and Carlie Bravo to double-team Mance Warner to win and retain.

He then tells Austin that he is in the ring with the best pure wrestler in the world and that he does not have an ace up his sleeve that can beat him.

In backstage footage from after All Elite Wrestling Dynamite, Ace Austin says that he is undefeated in Ring of Honor, and while he has lost more than he has won on Dynamite, he stood toe to toe with Will Opsreay and shook hands with him afterwards. He says failure happens only when you quit, but there is a lot to be learned from loss and has learned more from losses than any amount of wins, which is why he has yet to be beaten in Ring of Honor. Austin says his friendship with "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty does not matter and that their paths are different and that Moriarty has a firm grip on the ROH Pure Championship, but that does not last forever. He says that The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin) has beaten Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor, "The Captain" Shawn Dean, "Bad News and Tattoos" Carlie Bravo, "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty) once and that it is only a matter of time before Moriarty loses that grip and he wins the Pure Championship.

Billie reluctantly thanks Athena, who tells her to "follow the damn plan" or else she will have more than her to deal with.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

The Elite (Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, Kenny Omega) beat The Don Callis Family ("The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita, Rey Hechicero, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada) in a $1,000,000 (£750,000) Winner Takes All Trios Match. After the match, The Don Callis Family attack, then Okada and Takeshita get on the same page for once and Matt and Nick Jackson. After that, they start fighting again, but that does not last long when Omega gets back into the ring with a push broom and swings it at them. Takeshita and Okada flee, as does Don Callis, who also drops the bag containing $1 million.

Tony Schiavone is in the ring for a contract signing for the AEW World Championship match at Worlds End. "Hangman" Adam Page is introduced first, followed by Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana, followed by Samoa Joe. Samoa Joe shows up with Hook and Powerhouse Hobbs on his way to the ring. Joe says that when it comes to Hangman and Swerve, the sum is always volatile and unpredictable, and that his friends are here in case there is anything to trigger anyone into doing something stupid. Joe then signs the contract. Swerve says he came back to AEW for the World Championship, and if the finish of that match was different, he would be coming after Joe. He also notes that there is a bit of mutual respect between himself and Hangman despite what they have both done to each other. Swerve then mentions that he hates Joe just as much as he respects Hangman, all because Joe left him laying in a pool of his own blood in their last contract signing and he ended up beating him for the World title, which he plans to do again. He also hopes to leave a bootprint on Joe's face that will be uglier than the face tattoo he had in 2007. Swerve tells Joe and Hangman to bring their best to Worlds End, because you cannot kill a god with bullets. Swerve signs the contract. Hangman mentions that he and Joe once fought together to take the AEW World Championship from Jon Moxley, but acknowledges that Swerve or Joe could have been champion. In the end, he ended up beating Moxley to become World Champion. Hangman says that he knew both Joe and Swerve would find a way to face him for the World Championship. He says he gave Joe that opportunity, but when he failed, he turned into something worse than Moxley. He says that Joe may be World Champion, but he has no self-respect, and that the title is all he has left. Hangman says he planned the World Championship against everyone who helped him, including Swerve. He says that if Swerve defeated him, he would have accepted that defeat and handed the title to him. Hangman says that Joe will not be leaving Worlds End as World Champion, as he has messed up by making enemies out of him and Swerve. Hangman signs the contract, and as Tony Schiavione announces that this is official, the lights go out. MJF's theme then plays, and MJF shows up for the first time in months. "Smart" Mark Sterling is on the outside to give MJF his Casino Gauntlet contract, which MJF signs. MJF cashes in his guaranteed World Championship match, making the match a four-way match. MJF says he is executing this contract and facing three men instead of one, then MJF takes what Hangman said about him being a coward and saying that he will beat him and his two greatest rivals in one fell swoop to really hurt Hangman. MJF tells Joe that he still hates Joe for taking the World title from him and making the fans turn on him in response, then says the fans dictate who goes down as an all-time great and says that he must go down as an all-time great. He tells Joe that his time has just run out and that he will make Joe fall back harder than his hairline, and at Worlds End - where Joe ended his title reign - he will end Joe's reign. Swerve tells MJF that if he should be afraid of anyone, it is him. MJF mentions the history that he and Swerve both have (while making light of Swerve's run in WWE) as well as Swerve's time in AEW, then says that Swerve is in his way and that AEW is his house and rent is due, and the Devil is here to collect. He then says he will handle all his family business in one night like Michael Corleone and win the AEW World Championship.

He says that he has grown up in front of the fans and thanks them for their support over the years, then announces that he has not been medically cleared for Forbidden Door, then says he will take this in his own hands. He says that the Lights Out Steel Cage Match is unsanctioned and that anything that happens to him is on him and not AEW, then says he is aware of the risks and is comfortable taking them as AEW means so much for him. Ospreay says that if there is not even a small chance that he can wrestle again after Sunday, then he is leaving everything in the ring, for he is doing this for revenge and he and his team will tear The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Gabe Kidd) apart.

Copeland has to stop Christian from doing his full "Shut your mouths while I am conducting business" and chalks him still doing it up to being an asshole, then says sometimes one needs an asshole and that Christian is his asshole. Christian says he has taken time to actually find himself and found that he does not need to change and that he is perfect just the way that he is. He admits that he and Copeland are not on the same page by a long shot, but at this point, they are writing in the same book, and while some people were expecting a happy reunion, this reunion is one made out of necessity. Christian says that Copeland is helping him with his problems while he helps Copeland with his problems, and while he cannot promise anything beyond that, this version of himself will still be the best tag team partner Copeland ever had. As Copeland and Christian shake hands, Kip Sabian and Mother Wayne show up. Sabian accuses Christian of pandering for the fans that he despised, and Mother Wayne points at the video screen and a message from "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne.

MJF's music hits, but MJF fails to show, and Tony Schiavone tells Hangman that MJF is backstage and that if Hangman leaves the ring before finishes, something bad is going to happen.

Tony Schiavone introduces Christian Cage to the ring. On the subject of being told by Adam Copeland to go find himself, Christian Cage says that he is an asshole who is numb to the world and everything in it and that he was only obsessed with being AEW World Champion. He says that after he cashed in and hit the perfect Spear, he came into contact with his past, became "an asshole with feeling," and it cost him everything. Christian says that while he has no problem with Kip Sabian and "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne standing up to him, they have not earned the right to question him, for he has done more in the business than they have in their entire careers. He says he took a risk and deviated from the plan because he did not think The Patriarchy (Wayne, Sabian, Mother Wayne) would pull the plan off, and states that they know nothing about risk after they rode off his coattails as he did everything that he did. Christian says he has also heard what Copeland has said to him, then asks if what he said to him was really that bad, as he himself was an opportunist who did unsavory things to get to the top. He then tells Copeland that they are so different, yet somehow, they are the same. As for The Patriarchy, they embarrassed him at All In and decided they did not need a patriarch before making some innuendos regarding Mother Wayne. As for Nick Wayne, he asks him how it will go when he has to show up and actually fight, for he has answered the bell for the things he has said. He says that Nick Wayne had more talent than he did and that he protected him from everything, and while Nick Wayne has every tool to be the new face of AEW now and forever, he will have to go through him to do it. Christian then tells Nick Wayne that he has a father who is dead and a father who is dead to him, and officially disowns Nick Wayne. On the way out, Mother Wayne shows up and tries to slap Christian Cage, but it serves as a distraction for Nick Wayne and Kip Sabian to ambush Christian. Nick Wayne disowns Christian in turn before he and Sabian clap metal folding chairs into both sides of Christian's head.

After the match, Mark Briscoe says tonight is just getting started before calling out MJF for evoking Jay Briscoe's name more than once, then says he has never felt like this before and that he needs help. He says that if he kills MJF in cold blood, he will not see his brother in Heaven, for he will not repent and he will not even feel the slightest bit of remorse. Briscoe tells MJF to make his day and face him in the ring right here and right now. MJF's entrance theme hits, but MJF shows up on the video screen. MJF says he is not an idiot and that he considers Briscoe a waste of his time, and that next week, he will face Briscoe to get to "Hangman" Adam Page. He then says this assumes that Mark Briscoe makes it, and MJF suddenly shows up from behind Briscoe and kicks him in the groin and attacks him before asking who the real coward is. MJF puts on the Dynamite Diamond Ring, then "Hangman" Adam Page shows up. MJF rushes out of the ring to avoid both a Buckshot Lariat and a Jay Driller.

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) head to the ring. He had hopes that Dax would be wrong, but it became clear to him that Copeland only cared for himself and held FTR back to raise up his own career. He says that when Copeland was down on the mat, he had to be the one to do it. He says that he is not the helpless kid that Copeland once saw him as and that Copeland disrespected him as a man, and that anyone who disrespects him will have to pay. Cash says FTR are grown men and will be treated as such. Dax says that last week, he saw a sign in the crowd that said "Why FTR Why," then says "Why not?" He says the fans should be thanking them, as they gave Copeland everything he wanted, as he begged for relevancy at FTR's expense and FTR gave it to him. He says that regardless of what the fans thing, what FTR did was right, and while they do not owe anyone an explanation, he will have fun with this. Dax says FTR was irrelevant for four months so that Copeland could win one more world title and prove he is still the man. He says Copeland is "too damn selfish," especially after FTR has won ten tag titles in seven worldwide companies, then says there are fans and people in the locker room are not happy with, and asks Tony Schiavone to come to the ring. Nigel McGuinness tries to talk Tony Schiavone out of this, but Tony heads to the ring anyway. He tells FTR that they were wrong, and after they brought tag team wrestling back, they turned on Copeland. He also says that he mentioned Dax's daughter being affected by all this. This leads to FTR attacking Tony. Nigel stands up, takes off his headset and heads to the ring before they can do the spike piledriver, and tells him to get out. Daniel Garcia runs into the ring, and Dax shoves him. Nigel gets Tony out of the ring, and FTR help Garcia up before hugging him and leaving. Garcia checks on Schiavone.

He says they are still front and center and that they will accept The Opps' (Samoa Joe, Hook, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata) challenge. Claudio says this will be a lesson for "play wrestlers" who do not want to come to work, and that what matters is in the front line.
