Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for August 27, 2026

The Nemeths ("The Wanted Man" Nic and "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth) head to the ring to start tonight's show. Ryan says it is a good day to be a Nemeth brother after beating The Hardys and becoming tag team champions again while Nic retained the TNA World Championship. He says that their family is the greatest in the history of professional wrestling. Nic says that this makes him the most valuable man in TNA and that he is above the law and can buy his way out of anything. Ryan says that Nic has had a team of experts put up a list of double champions in TNA, which is just Kurt Angle. Ryan says it is disrespectful to have Kurt Angle's name up in the same arena that Nic Nemeth is at, then Nic addresses Leon Slater exercising Option C to face him for the World title at Bound For Glory. Nic tells the kids to follow their dreams, reach for the stars and always bet on themselves unless they are facing him, then Leon Slater shows up. Slater says that over the last couple of years, he has had a habit of saying things and getting them done, then says he will be TNA's youngest World Champion and that he will get that done. Slater notes that Nic is a double champion, then notes that he has found himself a tag team partner in the last couple of months and that the two of them have never lost a tag team match. Ricky Sosa shows up, and Ryan Nemeth says that Daria Rae will never allow for a tag team title match just because Ricky has won a couple of matches. Director of Authority Santino Marella suddenly shows up. Santino says that he will make that match, saying it is the perfect main event and that he is making it right now and making it happen tonight.



Backstage, Mila Moore is on the phone near the rest of Order 4 (John Skyler, Tasha Steelz, Special Agent Zero). Mila then says that Mustafa Ali is at the hospital after what happened at Lockdown, and that John Skyler will have to tag with Special Agent Zero tonight. She also says that without Mustafa around, that makes Skyler the leader of Order 4 tonight.

Before the match, Brian Myers says they might have a few new scars, but The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson) has proved once again that you cannot beat them in Lethal Lockdown.

Elijah beats Bear Bronson after grabbing Bronson off the top rope for the Highwayman's Farewell. After the match, Elias is able to fend off Brian Myers, but Eddie Edwards and Cedric Alexander rush into the ring and attack Elijah from behind.



As per the TNA Injury Report: the medical team was busy at Lockdown. Every participant in Lethal Lockdown has suffered injuries, especially KC Navarro, who is not medically cleared to compete at this time. Everyone else in the match is medically cleared, albeit not at 100%. Jason Hotch suffered bruised ribs at Lockdown, and despite soreness, he is cleared to compete. Cedric Alexander is not medically cleared after his match with Leon Slater. Mustafa Ali suffered a punctured lung following his victory against Jason Hotch and is out, and his situation is being monitored closely.

We hear from Elayna Black. She says she had time to reflect on Lockdown and wrestling in front of her friends, family and trainer. Elayna says she is proud to have put on a performance in front of them, even if she did not come out of it with the Knockouts World Championship. She admits that this might have been her karma after her past negative attitude and that she needed to be humbled and needed to remember who and what mattered, as she is not only doing this for herself, but for friends, family and fans. Elayna says she came to TNA with a mission, and while she did not the title, she is 25 years old in her first year in TNA and that this is just the beginning of a long "Era of Elayna."

Trey Miguel and Jason Hotch beat Order 4 (John Skyler and Special Agent Zero). After the match, Mustafa Ali congratulates Jason Hotch from his hospital bed, saying that Hotch promised to put him in the dirt and came close to doing that only to put him in the hospital. He mentions that Hotch fractured his ribs and punctured his lungs, and says the only thing more painful is disrespecting one's wife and child and leaving to tell about it. Mustafa says that Hotch is also hurting, then says they have gone too far and that everyone has gotten hurt, and proposes that they call a truce, stop all of this and have Hotch rejoin Order 4, saying it is either "open arms or a call to arms." Mustafa then tells Hotch that the choice is his.



Backstage, The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) meet with Rich Swann and BDE, wanting to know if BDE wants to join them and get his first big win. Rich Swann and BDE want nothing to do with them, and Dutch says he will meet with Daria Rae and get the two of them a one-on-one match. Vincent then says that when things do not go BDE's way again, BDE will think about what he said.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Avery Styles. Avery says that the last few days have been a dream come true after growing up with TNA and seeing his dad make his name in it, then Moose shows up and says that Avery will do amazing things like his father. Moose tells Avery to be careful who he associates with, and says that Frankie Kazarian does not help people until it helps him. Kazarian shows up and says that Avery needs advice from a winner who can take his career in the right direction as he tells Moose to shut up, then has Avery leave with him.

We find out that Jeff Hardy has been attacked and put in an ambulance, and that Matt Hardy will be riding with Jeff Hardy to the hospital.

Indi Hartwell heads to the ring. Indi says she is usually a positive person, but she is pissed off at Daria Rae telling her she is not worthy of a title shot. She says she has watched wrestling since she was eight years old and has been obsessed with it, and this is still her only dream. She says she has dropped out of university and moved across the world for this and that she has never been more ready, and that she is in her prime, and that she will let nothing or nobody get in her way anymore. Daria Rae shows up and says that Indi almost got her until she remembered how mediocre Indi is, then tells Indi that in the real world, money is opportunity, and that since Indi has not brought in money, she gets no opportunity. Daria tells Indi to go back to catering and disrespecting her name. Indi dares Daria to get in the ring with her. Daria says she would not waste anything on Indi's "dying" career, and if she got back in the ring, she would kick her ass back to "Kangaroo Land." Indi says that just because Daria's in-ring career was a failure does not mean she can ruin anyone else's career, and that with or without Daria, she will become a champion. Daria says "Good luck with that," then Indi is suddenly attacked from behind by the former Zoey Stark, now known as Zoey Serrano. Zoey then hits the Z360 on Indi. Daria introduces Zoey Serrano as the newest TNA Knockout before shaking hands with her.



Backstage, Harley Hudson meets with Indi Hartwell regarding Daria Rae. Indi says Daria messed with the wrong woman, and Harley knows that Indi is not one to walk away. Xia Brookside suddenly shows up and says Indi will never get a shot at her title, then Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up and says he will make the match. Daria Rae shows up and says she has mentioned both the "verbal assault" at Lockdown and her physical assault of her a few months ago to the TNA Board of Directors, then says that Daria's "permanent record" is not great. Santino says he will look into that, then makes a tag team match of Indi and Harley vs. Brookside and Zoey Serrano.

Hook shows up for the first time in months, and Yuta tries to fight him only for Hook to put him in Redrum and hit him with a Superman Punch.



We hear from MJF in backstage footage from Forbidden Door. He talks about how the fans hate him, then says he deserves better than he is treated by the fans and by AEW, as he is the best in the world.

He also gets angry at Tony Khan for making it so that he can no longer cash in his contract whenever he wants and is forced to give advance notice, and that when he finally uses his contract, he will not only take the AEW World Championship from "Hangman" Adam Page, but also Hangman's soul.

Wes Lee says that they are both on different levels, but Wentz says that no one is prouder of his accomplishments than he is. He says that MSK (Wentz and Wes Lee) was the best tag team in NXT, and while he messed it up, Wes Lee became a star while he became a man. He says that everything motivated him to come back, and Wes Lee admits that while he loves the motivation, the win would only be good for nostalgia. He says that it is not 2022 anymore. Wentz reminds Wes Lee that he was about to quit NXT for the third time when he and Trey showed up. Wentz tells Wes that he always had his back, but Wes Lee says that they are on different levels. Wentz says that Wes Lee has underestimated him despite him wishing Wes success, and now he hopes to fail at No Mercy.

D'Angelo says that he does not take disrespect either, and says that they can handle things like men. Oba Femi says that he will wait until Sunday to handle things, but D'Angelo says he will prove Oba Femi mortal. Oba says others have tried and failed and that D'Angelo will be no different before leaving.

Joe Hendry heads to the ring for his second NXT concert. Hendry thanks the fans for choosing to spend their evening with him, as he a potentially career-defining opportunity against "All Ego" Ethan Page at No Mercy before thanking the fans for their support. To show his appreciation, he has written another song, this time about Ethan Page. Hendry makes fun of Ethan's hobbies as well as his "Karate Guy" character and a loop of Ethan Page lifting weights in a Bowser costume, then tells Ethan Page to put on some clothes. Ethan shows up just before the end of the song as two referees try to hold him back, saying that the sing-along is done and that Hendry will not embarrass him with out-of-context footage. The crowd continues to chant Hendry's song as a visibly bothered Ethan Page tells Hendry that he knows what is best for the people, which is keeping Hendry out of NXT and away from his title. General Manager Ava shows up and says Ethan Page should be flattered, then says she has things figured out and that because of his attack on the referees last week, their match will have a special guest referee: Trick Williams. Trick shows up in a sleeveless referee's shirt and black shorts as Ethan Page is visibly miffed.

Despite Webster tagging in, The Rascalz are able to double-team him to win the titles.

Backstage, we hear from Brian Myers, Lio Rush, Moose and Bully Ray. Myers says that tonight is the night and that "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and Time Machine (Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, KUSHIDA) do not have what it takes. Bully Ray states that as of tonight, he is proud to say that Lio Rush is on their side after having done so much for them and that he is proud of him for that as he hugs. Lio Rush says that he is a man of his word and that he has been ready and focused, then asks if he can trust Bully Ray regarding PCO. Bully says he has everything worked out for tonight, then Moose says that they are all great and that they are all scumbags, and tonight, they will show the world why they are the greatest assembly of scumbags ever put together.

Bully Ray, Moose, Brian Myers and Lio Rush beat "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and Time Machine (Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, KUSHIDA) in an eight-man tag team match.

With the referee down, Moose is able to put Chris Sabin with a table with a Uranage, and Lio Rush is able to put KUSHIDA through a table with The Final Hour. As Bully Ray is about to put Chris Sabin through a table from the entrance ramp, the lights go out, and when they come back on, PCO shows up and beats up Bully Ray, but Brian Myers stops PCO with a low blow before he can choke slam Bully Ray through the table. This allows, Moose, Myers and Bully to hit PCO with a three-man powerbomb through the table, which PCO immediately gets up from to the shock of all three men. After back body dropping Moose and Myers back into the ring, PCO chases after Bully Ray, but he is attacked by a man in a jacket who happens to be Steve Maclin, who has not been seen in months. Alexander sees Maclin and immediately attacks him on the stage, which leads to a brawl that has to be broken up by security officers after Maclin attacks Alexander's surgically repaired left tricep. Alexander is able to get back in the ring and keep going, but Myers eventually shoves Alexander into Shelley, which causes an argument between the both of them before Shelley walks out on the match, allowing Moose to hit the Spear on a distracted Alexander for the win.

Here is tonight's post-show!



All In 2023 - The Results



Powerhouse Hobbs is in the ring for a contract signing. After stating that he has a contract for a match for next week sitting on the table that Miro has not yet signed and bragging about leaving Miro laying the last time they met, he says that he will be heading back to America because "80,000 of you chavs" do not deserve to see him. Miro shows up, and Hobbs tells him to "sign the goddamn contract." Miro signs the contract, then moves the table to the side and has a staredown with him. Hobbs back up and pretends to leave, but gets back in the ring and starts a brawl. Security moves into place, but Miro soon starts laying everyone out. As Hobbs is held back, Miro says a contract is just wods, and tells him that next week at All Out, redemption is coming and it will looked like a jacked Bulgarian who will break his spine and make him humble. (One of the security uards is, interestingly, Simon Miller from WhatCulture Wrestling.)

Tony Schiavone is in the ring. As he thanks the fans for being in Wembley Stadium tonight for All In on behalf of AEW, Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, Satnam Singh and Karen Jarrett show up. Jeff Jarrett tells Schiavone to get out of the ring and insults him for giving the fans credit for paving the way to the biggest event in history, saying the United States paved the way. He also says that American fans are much better than British fans and that American wrestlers and promoters paved the way for the event, not British wrestlers, even calling World of Sport an "independent local yokel show." As Jeff states that his own family paved the way for the event, Paul Wight and Anthony Ogogo show up with Grado, whom Jarrett has been insulting on X (formerly Twitter). Paul Wight knocks out Satnam Singh with one punch, and Grado hits Jeff Jarrett with some bionic punches before Paul Wight choke slams Jay Lethal and throws Jeff Jarrett into a knockout punch by Anthony Ogogo. Grado then hits Jeff Jarrett with his own guitar.

MJF and Adam Cole beat Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis) to become the ROH World Tag Team Championships after MJF hits both members of Aussie Open with the Kangaroo Kick and MJF and Cole hit Fletcher with the double clothesline.

Mercedes Mone is seen in the crowd.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. Britt says she never thought that she would be in London, England, then states that the women's division has become complacent despite the road that she has paved while she was AEW Women's World Champion, and admits that she too fell complacent and took a back seat assuming someone would rise to the occasion. She then says that there is only one her, and after almost five years after showing up happy to be there, she will walk in a bona-fide star ready and determined more than ever to prove that she is the baddest on the black before she walks out as Women's World Champion and starts a new era.

Hook beats Jack Perry with Redrum to become a two-time FTW Champion. (During the match, Jack Perry knocks on the front windshield as he stays "You see this right here? Real glass! Go cry me a river!" This is a direct shot towards CM Punk shooting down the use of real glass in a segment on Collision, which angered Perry. Perry also had a backstage confrontation with Punk before his match, which leads to both men being ordered out of the venue after their matches and later suspended pending an internal investigation by AEW, which leads to Punk's firing from AEW the day before All Out.)

CM Punk retains the Real World Championship against Samoa Joe with the Pepsi Plunge. (This ends up being CM Punk's last match in AEW, following his suspension and eventual firing the day before All Out.)

Konosuke Takeshita and Bullet Club Gold ("Switchblade" Jay White and "Rock Hard" Juice Robinson) beat Kenny Omega, "Hangman" Adam Page and Kota Ibushi in a trios match after Konosuke is able to roll up Kenny Omega from out of nowhere.

Before the next match, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) comes out to "A Superkick Knocks You Out," a thinly veiled superkicked parody of Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust." (The Young Bucks' entrance gear are also a reference to Freddy Mercury.)

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships against The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson). After the match, FTR extend their hands for a handshake, but The Young Bucks walk away.

Eddie Kingston, Penta El Zero Miedo, Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta), and Orange Cassidy beat The Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta) and Proud and Powerful (Santana and Ortiz) in a Stadium Stampede Match that sees Sue show up with weapons, Penta el Zero Miedo becoming Penta Oscura mid-match and Orange Ciassy beating Claudio Castagnoli with four Orange Cassidy - the last one covered in glas - to get the pinfall.

Saraya beats Toni Storm, Britt Baker, D.M.D. and Hikaru Shida in a Fatal 4-Way Match to become the AEW Women's World Champion! During the match, Saraya's mother Sweet Saraya holds down Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. so that Toni Storm can chop her, but Britt eventually ducks and Toni inadvertently hits Sweet Saraya instead. This leads to Saraya (the daughter, not the mother) to go at it with Toni throughout the match, and as Dr. Britt Baker has Hikaru Shida in the lockjaw, Saraya (again, the daughter, not the mother) spray paints Toni in the face and pins her to become the new champion before celebrating with her family in the ring after the match.

Flash Garments and DJ Whoo Kid perform Swerve Strickland's theme before the next match. Also before the next match, we see footage of Sting and Darby Allin in London, with Sting wearing a coat and a top hat as they walk down an alley. Darby says "It's time, isn't it?", with Sting saying it's not just time, it's showtime. When Sting and Darby to the ring, it is to the tune of "Search and Destroy" by Metallica.

Sting and Darby Allin beat Swerve Strickland and Christian Cage in a Coffin Match.

Before the next match, Fozzy performs "Judas" (and Chris Jericho pays tribute to Freddy Mercury).



Will Ospreay beats Chris Jericho. After the match, Sammy Guevara helps Jericho up, but Jericho gently pushes him away and leaves.

Nigel McGuinness announces that 81,035 fans have attended tonight's event, beating WrestleMania 3's attendance record and making a new worldwide record for a professional wrestling event. (Two weeks later, following a freedom of information request to the local council, it is revealed that attendance at All In was not the reported number of 81,035 and was actually around 72,265.)

The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn) beat The House of Black (Malakai Black, Brody King, Buddy Matthews) to become the AEW World Trios Champions! The "Dealer's Choice" stipulation for this match is a no-holds-barred match. Mercedes Mone is seen in the crowd during and after the match. After the match, The House of Black personally award the trios titles to The Acclaimed, then Anthony Bowens says that he and Max have made good on their promise to bring Billy Gunn back to the top with gold around his waist before The Acclaimed scissor in the ring.

Before the next match, MJF makes a special entrance on a push-platform throne as "The Devil," complete with an orchestral rendition of his theme while vestal virgins worship him from both sides.

MJF retains the AEW World Championship against Adam Cole. During the match, both men pin each other after hitting each other with a clothesline at the same time, and the match is declared a draw. Much like in their last match, Adam Cole takes the microphone and demands five more minutes, but MJF tells him that five more minutes isn't enough and that they are going until they have a winner. Shortly after this, Adam Cole collides with referee Bryce Remsburg, knocking Remsburg down. MJF grabs a chair and thows it to Cole, who then throws it back to MJF before both of them toss it back and forth. Adam Cole flinches and falls down when MJF rears back, then MJF puts the chair around his neck. When the referee comes to, Adam Cole is getting up, and he gets chewed out by Remsburg before MJF goes for a schoolkid pin. Later on, MJF dodges a Panama Sunrise attempt, and Bryce Remsburg ends up being the recipient of the move, allowing MJF to put on his Dynamite Diamond Ring to use it as a weapon. When he tries to use it as a weapon, however, he is conflicted, and he puts it away. Suddenly, Roderick Strong shows up from behind MJF, and he kicks MJF in the groin before telling Adam Cole to finish MJF off. Cole hits the Panama Sunrise follwed by The Boom, but Remsburg is still down and is late to the count. Roderick Strong then demands that Adam Cole hit MJF with the AEW World Championship, for he is his best friend and not MJF. Cole picks up the world championship, but he cannot bring himself to blast MJF with it and throws it out of the ring. Roderick Strong angrily leaves and heads to the back, then Adam Cole picks MJF up only for MJF to win and retain with an inside cradle. After the match, MJF tells Adam Cole not to feel bad and that it could have gone either way, and that he got lucky. He then tells Adam Cole that they still have the ROH World Tag Team Championships as he hands the tag team itles, but when Cole throws his tag title out of the ring out of frustration, MJF goes off and says Cole never cared about him before calling him "a fake piece of shit," then tells him to take the AEW World Championship and just get it over with before turning his back so that Adam Cole can betray him. Roderick Strong shows up again and demands Adam Cole do this, but he cannot bring himself to do it. MJF and Adam Cole then hug it out, and Roderick Strong angrily looks at Adam Cole from a distance alongside The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) while MJF and Cole celebrate in the ring. It is then announces that All In will return to Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday, August 25, 2024.

Memphis Thing - Memphis Wrestling recap for August 27, 2022

Maria Starr returns to commentary for the first time in weeks.

Dustin Starr interviews Memphis Muscle ("The GunShow" Brett Michaels and "Big Swole" Justin Cole) at the announce desk. Brett Michaels says it felt pretty good to put someone through a table for a change, and Justin Cole says he was sick and tired of being sick and tired and was glad to help Brett out. Justin Cole then asks Brett Michaels to help him out one more time, as he wants a match with The Posse for the Memphis Tag Team Championships. Suddenly, The Posse (Simon and Mr. Chris) shows up. Simon says that if Memphis Muscle puts their hands on them, it will be the last thing they ever do, but Brett Michaels asks The Posse what they can do to him that hasn't been done to him already. Security and officials have to separate both teams.



We hear from Zay Washington, who calls Aaron Roberts out for stabbing him in the back after he won the Internet title and for not returning any texts or calls.

After Derrick King says he did what he asked and that Van Viciouss lost again, Blaylock mentions the fan that attacked him last week, saying she had "obesity" disease, then we find out that the two bodyguards for the Clique are named Jake and Elwood (an obvious Blues Brothers reference). Blaylock pays Elwood for saving him last week, then Dustin Starr announces that, as per the Championship Committee, Ray Sanders is no longer a referee for The Hollywood Clique. Dustin Starr then gives Diana Taylor an ultimatum: relinquish the Memphis Women's title, or defend it in two weeks against Cassandra Golden and Nyxx.

We hear from King Cobra, who says that things are getting really wild in Memphis Wrestling, then dares Mark Anthony to pick on somebody his own size after running roughshod over the trainees. He then says that Money Mark got what was coming to him, and says that there are a lot of similarities between the past and the present in that one never knows what is coming and one never knows who is next.



Dustin Starr interviews Mike Anthony at the announce desk. Anthony says he is his own man and that Pay Up (Big Jack and Bruce) had a job to do and did not get it done, and after Dustin Starr says that Anthony could not get it done like they did, Anthony says Starr's day and the fans' day is coming. He then says he wants a refund and that Pay Up owes him money after failing to take out "The GunShow" Brett Michaels, and Pay Up and Money Mark show up. Mike Anthony tells Pay Up and Money Mark had one job, but Brett Michaels is still walking, breathing and coming after the Memphis Heritage Championship. Money Mark tells Mike Anthony says he has plenty of money and that they can get plenty of things done, but Mike Anthony simply says "You're fired" and demands his money back, as he will deal with Brett Michaels himself. He also says that if they won't give him the money, he will make it back himself because he is the highest paid. Money Mark tells Mike Anthony he will have to go through Big Jack if he wants his money back.



Before the next match, it is reported that Big Kon and K-Toomer are brawling in the VIP area and are now brawling their way to the ring.

Becky Lynch heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Becky says she is glad to be back and on top, and that she missed the fans. She says that when she had to give up the Raw Women's Championship, it was one of the hardest things to do as she was also giving up an identity. She says she had to work back to where she once was, and while she has a new life and new priorities, and she is deadler than ever now that she has a family to fight for. On the subject of SummerSlam, Becky says she is sorry for absolutely nothing, as she has been in WWE long enough to know that everything is about timing and preparation, and all she needed was an opportunity. Suddenly, Bianca Belair shows up. Bianca says she is not here to make excuses, and tells Becky Lynch that she is not okay with what happened at SummerSlam, as she has been working too hard and too long for Becky to erase it all in twenty-six seconds. She then proposes that the two of them tear it down for the SmackDown Women's Championship tonight, then Zelina Vega shows up and says Bianca has been reduced to crying for a rematch. Zelina tells Bianca that she has embarrassed herself once before and that nobody wants to see that again, and that she should fall back and let her have the match with Becky Lynch. Suddenly, Carmella shows up. Carmella tells both Bianca and Zelina to step out of the way so Becky Lynch faces the most beautiful woman in WWE, then mentions being Sasha Banks' last-minute replacement before Becky showed up. Suddenly, Liv Morgan arrives. Liv says Carmella and Zelina are undeserving of the title picture when they lose week after week, and tells Becky that if she is looking for a contender, she is right here. Bianca tells Carmella, Zelina and Liv that they have lost their minds and that this is all between her and Becky, then asks Becky to give the people the match they want, which is the two of them tonight. Becky says "Nah," and leaves. After Becky leaves, Zelina and Carmella make fun of Bianca, and Bianca punches Zelina. As Carmella attacks Bianca, Liv pushes Carmella out of the ring.

Backstage, Paul Heyman asks Kayla Braxton if she has anything better to do as he waits for Roman Reigns. Suddenly, the door opens and The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) come out, saying Roman has not arrived yet. When The Usos ask if Heyman will re-join Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman asks why he would tear down all they have worked to build up and that he did not know Lesnar would be here. When The Usos asks why they were sent back to the locker room, Heyman says Roman sent the order, not him, but The Usos doubt this.



Cesaro beats Chad Gable by disqualification after Otis attacks Cesaro during the Cesaro Swing. After the match, Chad Gable and Otis attack Cesaro, then Otis splashes Cesaro from the middle rope.



Kayla Braxton reports that Roman Reigns is arriving shortly when a white Bentley arrives. Baron Corbin steps out of the driver's seat with a new suit and hat, and asks to be addressed as "Happy Corbin." Corbin says that luck is finally on his side for the first time in months and that he is finally happy.

Happy Corbin heads to the ring. He asks the fans if they ever thought he would have a smile again, saying he thought his career and life was over and at rock bottom, but now, he looks incredible. Corbin also says that he did it all by himself and that he is the happiest man in the world before we see a video package where Corbin goes from rags to riches after taking $35 and getting lucky in the Las Vegas casinos. Corbin then says he was "the mayor of Jackpot City" and says he deserves it after betting on himself, and says he has new expensive clothes and that his wife welcomed him home with roast beef on the table. Corbin says again that he deserves it, then asks the fans to call him "Happy Corbin" before saying that there is something that could make him happier and asks Big E to come to the ring. Big E arrives. Big E says he is happy for Corbin and glad he does not smell anymore, and Corbin makes up for stealing the Money In The Bank contract by buying it for $20,000. Big E declines. Corbin goes for $50,000. Big E declines again. Corbin says Big E might cash in and lose it, and after Big E reminds Corbin that he also cashed in and lost it, Corbin admits he did and puts out one last offer: $100,000. Big E is tempted, but he says "Hell no." He then says he has a list of things Corbin can spend $100,000 on, such as a half-eaten sandwich, a pencil he found outside, and an Arkansas Razorback plushie. Corbin says it is fine, and that he is way too rich and way too happy for this. He then tells Big E to be miserable, cash in, lose and regret not taking the $100,000. Big E tells Corbin he is tired of him and his game and tells him to leave before he slaps him. Corbin leaves.



We hear from Edge, who says he defeated a generational talent in Seth Rollins. He says he does not like having to go to a dark place to find a savage version of himself, as it affected him wherever he went, but he did it. Edge says that the albatross around his neck that is Seth Rollins is over and done with, and that he is now moving on to the WWE Universal Championship. We then hear from Seth Rollins, who says that he has only one thing to say to Edge: congratulations. He says he has had a week to think about things, as it has been a great match and a great victory for Edge while it was a loss for him. He says their match taught him something about himself, and as much as he hates to admit this, Edge has his respect and admiration for what he has done for himself, and says that if he has to fight his way to the Universal Championship, he should be more like him.



Backstage, Roman Reigns finds Paul Heyman outside of his dressing room door and asks him what he is doing. A nervous Heyman apologizes and opens the door, then enters the dressing room with him.

After the commercial break, Jake "The Snake" Roberts talks about the Casino Battle Royal, saying that twenty other men will go in thinking they have a chance of winning and that Lance Archer will be the only one walking out. He says that Lance Archer's loss has cost them time and that this is his chance to make up for it. Lance says that he will take everyone out, then Roberts says that the battle royal is like a wood chipper: a log goes in, and confetti comes out. As Roberts continues to put Archer on a pedestal, Tazz, "The Machine" Brian Cage and "Absolute" Ricky Starks show up. Tazz says he and Roberts have never crossed path, then says that a member of Team Tazz will win the battle royal.

MJF heads to the ring with his campaign committee. MJF heads to the ring with his campaign committee. Jon Moxley heads to the ring with a copy of the contract for their match from the stands. MJF signs the contract, as does Moxley. MJF says that everyone has seen a contract signing before and that they usually end in conflict, and as much as he would like to slap Moxley in the face for what he did to him, he will not do it. He says that unlike Moxley, he is not an animal and he can separate business from emotion, and tells Moxley to practice social distancing like his hairline. Moxley tells MJF he'll get there one day; he just has to hit puberty first. MJF tells Moxley that he is not a smart man, then says that people have been clamoring for their match before saying he never got the hype for Moxley, as he viewed him as a "one-trick pony." He then realized he was wrong about him and says that Moxley was "good...real good" after Mike Tyson pointed at Moxley and stated he did not want to be in a dark alley with him. MJF says taht nobody would like to be in that kind of danger, either, but at All Out, they will be in a wrestling ring, not a dark alley, and bad neck or not, Moxley will be the one in danger. MJF states he is a pro wrestling prodigy, and states that at All Out, he will systematically and concisely take Moxley apart and use every single part of the ring to his advance with the same steady hands and consistency as a brain surgeon. He then says that Moxley will panic as he is "a glorified goon" and not a wrestler, and that Moxley will not get him outside of the ring and into his territory, which is all he knows after idolizing guys like The Sandman, New Jack and John Zandig. He calls those men "hot garbage," and says he studied the "Ernie Ladds and Tully Blanchards of the world" and has too high of an in-ring IQ for Moxley to handle as he beats Moxley like the dog that he is. He states that Moxley's fans will be calling ASPCA, but it will be too late when he wears "pretty platinum" and becomes AEW World Champion, as the fans deserve better. He then says that if Moxley thinks he is better than him, then says he does not understand why Moxley needs the Paradigm Shift. MJF then questions Moxley's manhood and states Moxley knows he is not man enough to beat him without him, and if he isn't, Moxley might as well tell his wife MJF is single. Moxley stands up, and MJF's lawyer tells him to sit down and sign the paper or else he will sue. Moxley says he does not need the Paradigm Shift, but he does want to dump MJF on his head multiple times. He says that by banning the Paradigm Shift, MJF is only forcing him to get creative on how to hurt him and it only makes the match more interesting. He then signs the contract, but not before telling MJF that nothing MJF says matters and nothing he signs matters. He then tells MJF that at All Out, he is a dead man. MJF screams and calls Moxley an idiot, and his lawyer says this is the stupidest thing he ever did. Moxley then mentions page 17 of the contract. MJF and the lawyer - now suddenly taken aback - look at the contract, and Moxley states that next week, there will be a tune-up match between Moxley and the lawyer, and if the lawyer does not show up, MJF gets no title shot at All Out. The Paradigm Shift will also be legal during next week's match.

The Dark Order show up on the stage with a casket. Evil Uno says he has never been so happy, that Stu Grayson purchased two of the most beautiful vehicles on his dream list and that Brodie Lee bought six of the most exceptional lawnmowers known to man. Evil Uno then states that the casket is there for them to symbolically put Cody to rest, and when they open the casket, 10 is there with a fake Cody Rhodes tattoo and jacket. They then "bury' Cody to bury a prince and make way for a newking. They then bring out Brodie Lee, who shows up with Anna Jay and the AEW TNT Championship. Brodie Lee then has Tony Schiavone join him and The Dark Order in the ring for an in-ring interview. Brodie Lee asks Schiavone to look back to December, when he and The Dark Order were laughed off by the fans, then says he does what he says he will set out to do and that he took the TNT Championship like he said we would. He says that there is a lot of symbolism here, as The Dark Order has buried The Nightmare Family. He says there will be no open challenge, and that "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes will never get the title back. He then introduces Anna Jay as the newest member of The Dark Order. When John Silver sings Brodie Lee's praises, Lee smacks him, then says there is nobody who can touch him and that he is the hottest champion in wrestling. Suddenly, The Natural Nightmares ("The Natural" Dustin Rhodes and QT Marshall) run into the ring and attack The Dark Order, but they are easily outnumbered. Scorpio Sky then shows up and takes on The Dark Order, and he soon has Brodie Lee alone in the ring. Anna Jay slaps Scorpio in the face and Brodie Lee lays him out with a clothesline, then The Dark Order goes back on the attack until Matt Cardona shows up and joins The Natural Nightmares and Scorpio Sky in clearing The Dark Order out of the ring.



Backstage, Dasha interviews "Hangman" Adam Page at the bar. He is soon confronted by The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) for costing them a tag team match, then call him a drunk and a jobber to his face for his actions before kicking him out of The Elite. They then slam the door behind them so hard that the glass on the door shatters.



Before the next match, Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. says that if Big Swole can beat her team in a handicap match, she can have her in any match she wants.

Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) and SCU ("The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian) vs. The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus), with the winners facing each other at All Out!

The Dark Order show up to entice Taya Conti to join them by handing her a red folder saying "Join Us." Taya hugs Anna Jay, then proceeds to look into the folder.

He says that they have taken it up a notch, but Orton has taken it personal by involving his family and bringing in The Revival to take down Big E and Xavier Woods, while all he has wanted is to prove that he is the WWE Champion. In the end, Orton was cowering up the ramp with fear in his eyes because he saw the look in his eyes that says that he does not play around when someone messes with his family. Now they have a match at Clash of Champions for the WWE Championship, and he has the chance to prove Orton wrong when he said that he was not ready then and is not ready now. Suddenly, Orton shows up on the TitanTron and says there is nothing he would like better than to show how stupid Kofi, but he will wait for Clash Of Champions. He then mentions that someone has delivered to him a mysterious letter. Orton reads the letter, which tells him to stop hurting Kofi, for Kofi is not stupid and a good man while Orton is being a mean man. He then reveals that Kofi's son Kai wrote the letter.
