Matt Jackson talks their and Omega's nearly 20-year friendship and how Omega won the big one all by himself and proved that he is still the best professional wrestler on the planet. Matt then admits that MJF's custom Burberry belt peeves him, and Nick pulls the original AEW World Championship with the black leather strap out of the light brown bag to hand to Omega. Omega says it has been over 1100 days since he last held the AEW World Championship, and admits that he was not sure if he would ever hold it again. He says that as much as he made a promise to himself, it took his friends, his family and his fans believing in him to keep him from giving up on himself. Omega says this was not supposed to happen, and yet, here we are with less than 50 days remaining until Wembley Stadium. He says that as much as he would like to say he is ready, there is still work to do. Omega says that the fans will see the best Kenny Omega that has ever been in AEW before Will Ospreay shows up and heads to the ring. Ospreay asks The Young Bucks if he could speak with Omega alone, which The Young Bucks allow before heading to the back. Ospreay says it is good to see Omega as AEW World Champion again. Ospreay admits he thought that Omega gave up on himself and knew that Omega had to believe in himself, and that when he wrestled MJF, he did not give up once. He says that it will heat up on the way to All In, and says that for ten years, Omega has been his hero and he has watched Omega wrestle around the world as Omega inspired him to be one of the best in the world. Ospreay says that when he thinks of AEW, he thinks of Omega, and that he has always wanted to be a fraction of what Omega is. He then says that he is locked in, and that the two of them will keep it going and show everyone why they are in the position they are in. Ospreay says that this is a dream come true of "Goku and Vegeta fighting it out," and at All In, they will show that AEW is where the best wrestle. Suddenly, "The Jet" Kevin Knight arrives as Omega and Ospreay are about to shake hands. Knight says that he and Omega have some talking to do, and tells Ospreay to leave. Ospreay is about to leave when Omega says Ospreay can stay, and Knight congratulates Omega on becoming AEW World Championship before stating he is still owed a World title shot. He says that "Maxwell Jacob Fraudman" is not here to give him that shot, but Omega is here and he is here to collect. Knight then asks what a god is to a non-believer, as he is ready to become a double champion, and challenges Omega for the AEW World Championship at Redemption. Omega notes that Knight is trying to hold him to a promise MJF made to him, and says that while he is not going to do that, he will give Knight a shot at the title anyway due to the potential that he saw in him. Omega says that he had "it" and had the undeniable factor" and "looked the part," and while Knight was hungry, that was where it ended, as Knight had to align himself with Don Callis. He says he would be a hypocrite if he told everyone here tonight that he did not believe in Callis' siren song and that Callis would lead him to the promised land, as he held the AEW World Championship because of him. He says that nobody believed in that version of him, and that his self-worth fell right down the toilet with Callis. Omega tells Knight he does not need Callis, and that when he believes in Knight, he says the same words that others have said about Knight. He tells Knight that he could have it all on his own with Callis, and while Knight can say what he will about MJF, MJF was not a fraud, as he still defended the title every week and was a man of his word. Omega then says the only fraud he sees is Knight. He says that Knight is not being himself, and that what he is saying is not coming from his heart, which he still believes has some good in it. Omega then says he wants "The Jet," not "Don Callis' lap dop," and he wants Knight to do it on his own. This leads to a "lap dog" chant, and Knight says that while Omega makes a good claim, there is no goodness - only greatness - left in his heart before he hits Omega with the microphone and deftly avoids a Hidden Blade from Ospreay only to get jumped by Darby Allin. "The Machine" Brian Cage shows up and attacks Darby before calling out the rest of The Don Callis Family. Ospreay and Omega are soon joined by Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli, and The Don Callis Family backs off.

He says he has been gone for four months, and when he was not in rehab, he was planting, and when All Elite Wrestling decided to come to Roanoke, Virginia, it was important to be here, as he wanted to plant one more seed. Hangman admits he does not know what this will bloom into or if it will grow at all, then mentions losing any chance at challenging for the AEW World Championship when he lost to MJF. He thinks about what could have gone wrong before admitting that he lost, and says that he is a man of his word as the stipulation lives in him and not in ink in a document in a file cabinet somewhere, and says he will never challenge for the AEW World Championship again. Hangman then talks about Kenny Omega winning the title, saying it was important to him as well as his message to never quite and always run the race afterwards.

Ospreay asks if they have a problem, to which Swerve says yes, as he finds it weird that Ospreay is hanging around Jon Moxley. Ospreay says he has not forgiven or forgotten what Moxley did to him, and that he had to let it go.

He says that this is the semi-finals for his World Cup and he wants to kick the winning goal at Wembley Stadium, and that Swerve is standing in the way of his dream and will not hesitate to end it. Ospreay says he will end Swerve if he has to, but Swerve says "Not if I do it first." Swerve mentions Ospreay saying that last year was "Hangman" Adam Page's time and how he agreed with him and fought alongside him, then asks where Hangman is now. He says that everything they did off Ospreay's word was for nothing, and that he will not just step aside for him. Swerve says he is done stepping aside to let people take opportunities he deserve and letting veterans step on his time. Swerve says he has made a career out of throwing Molotov cocktails at the system, as has Ospreay, and that the two of them have changed the conversation on what pro wrestling before and they will do it again at Forbidden Door.

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.

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.

He says nobody wants to see Darby as AEW World Champion, then demands a rematch for the title. Darby tells MJF that if he wants a rematch, he must put something on the line. MJF puts his scarf on the line, but Darby declines. MJF puts the Dynamite Diamond Ring on the line, but Darby declines that, too. MJF offers one million dollars to Darby, but Darby says he used to be homeless under a bridge and that MJF's money is no good. MJF wants to know what Darby wants, and Darby wants what MJF holds most dear in his life: his hair. He calls MJF "the most vain piece of shit" that he has ever met, and MJF balks and tells Darby to be reasonable, but Darby says that next week, there will be a contract for a hair vs. title match, and if MJF does not show up, he does not get the match. MJF suddenly turns around and walks away without saying a word, then "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada shows up and heads to the ring before stating that next week, he will face Darby for the World Championship.
