The Bang Bang Gang ("Switchblade" Jay White, Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin) and The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay) head to the ring to start tonight's show. Jay White says the fans should not be booing them, then says that they are all going to need a new name. He then says to forget about it, as to get to the top, one needs not only a family, but an outfit, and they are the last outfit. He then says that after Wednesday, nobody will ever forget that his and David Finlay's paths will forever be intertwined, and while he can not trust him, he knows that working together is better than not. Jay White then says that Clark Connors was always cool with him, then tells the fans to get used to seeing a downed Jon Moxley being tended to by "The Problem" Marina Shafir, who he says should lighten up, and that thanks to him, she and Roderick Strong can ride death together. He also says that he will not let The Conglomeration keep dragging him down, as impressive as Orange Cassidy is, and says that while the fans love Jon Moxley, they will be accustomed to him lying on the mat and begging for mercy. Jay White calls Jon Moxley a fragile shell of what the fans expect him to be, and that he will cower and quiver when confronted with his fate as he takes the Continental Championship from him while "The Last Outfit" leaves The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, Gabe Kidd, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) laying. He says The Death Riders will not be forgiven because "The Last Outfit" have not forgotten.
Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong, Willow Nightingale) O'Reilly says he though he respected "Switchblade" Jay White, and now that Jay White has revealed who he really is, he will teach him respect in what will be the last night for The Last Outfit ("Switchblade" Jay White, Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin, Clark Connors, David Finlay).
FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) beats The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) in Match 2 of their best-of-seven series after Stokely grabs Shelley on the outside and Wheeler uses the ropes for leverage after sitting down on a victory roll attempt by Shelley. FTR ties the best-of-seven series up one match apiece (1-1).
In backstage footage from after Dynamite, we hear from Will Ospreay, Darby Allin, Steven Borden, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and Adam Copeland. Ospreay looks forward to Blood & Guts against The Don Callis Family, saying that nobody on his team will submit or surrender, especially Copeland, who is going out on his own teams as Ospreay tells him he needs the Adam Copeland of old. Copeland says that if The Don Callis Family want blood and guts, he will beat them so badly their children will feel it.
The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) beat Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor, "The Captain" Shawn Dean, "Bad News and Tattoos" Carlie Bravo, Trish Adora) in an eight-person mixed tag match by submission with a Brutalizer from Shafir to Adora. After the match, Moxley addresses "Switchblade" Jay White, saying Switchblade thought he started a war when The Death Riders has been at war with everyone. He says Switchblade made a good move, and now it is his move.
Trent Beretta and Rocky "Azucar" Romero guest on commentary for the next match.
"The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander beats Blade Brown by submission with the ankle lock after Blade Brown is knocked unconscious with a piledriver. After the match, Alexander praises Don Callis as the man who is responsible for assembling the most dominant faction in all of pro wrestling history, which will go on to win at Blood & Guts. He also praises Callis as being wise enough to put Jake Doyle and Mark Davis together to decimate The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) so they can do it again and win the AEW World Tag Team Championships at Full Gear. Alexander states that there is gold in the future of The Don Callis Family and that he will be no exception, and next week on Dynamite, he wants the TNT Championship, demanding that Darby Allin fight him. He also says that he will be a fighting champion as he brags about The Don Callis Family bashing Adam Copeland's head with the International Championship on Dynamite, and says he would love to fight Copeland - who is not here tonight - if he is able with the TNT Championship on the line. All of a sudden, Copeland - despite Alexander saying just a moment ago that he was not here tonight - shows up, and Alexander retreats before Beretta and Romero get Speared. Mark Davis and Jake Doyle soon show up and get the better of Copeland.
Swerve Strickland beats Myron Reed.
United Empire (Andrade el Idolo and "Speedball" Mike Bailey) beat The Allen Brothers (Steve and Robert Allen). After the match, as Andrade gets the usual front row selfie, he is sucker punched by Tommaso Ciampa. Speedball chases Ciampa around the ring, and Ciampa retreats through the crowd.
The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) vs. Wrathlander (Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron) ends in a no-contest with Sisters of Sin (Julia Hart and Skye Blue) shoving Kris Statlander off the top rope. After the match, "The Toxic Spider" Thekla shows up and whips Statlander with a leather belt, then Willow Nightingale runs into the ring with a metal chain. Triangle of Madness ("The Toxic Spider" Thekla, Julia Hart, Skye Blue) retreat at first, but soon regroup and attack Willow. Wrathlander makes the save to even the numbers game, but Wrathlander and Willow are laid out by The Divine Dominion.
Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Willow Nightingale and Wrathlander (Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron). Willow says she is willing to walk into war with Wrathlander, then says that she got off the phone with The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor). This leads to Willow and Wrathlander challenging The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) and Triangle of Madness ("The Toxic Spider" Thekla, Julia Hart, Skye Blue) to Blood & Guts.
"Switchblade" Jay White beats Kyle O'Reilly. After the match, Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong show up to check on O'Reilly, then The Last Outfit (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin, Clark Connors, David Finlay) shows up and lay Orange and Roderick out. As Orange Cassidy is about to be piledriven into ring steps, The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) show up from the entrance instead of the crowd, and Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli get the jump on The Last Outfit with metal folding chairs. Despite Finlay hitting Claudio with a chop block, Claudio blocks the shillelagh shot and fights him and Connors off. Switchblade soon hits Claudio with a low blow, but Moxley kicks the shillelagh out of the ring and hits Switchblade with the Death Rider. Moxley then pulls out a fork, and The Last Outfit get in the ring and jump Moxley to stop him from stabbing Switchblade. Orange hits an Orange Punch on Austin and Colten Gunn, then hits a dive on everyone else but Switchblade. Moxley catches Switchblade in the ring and holds him down for an Orange Punch in the ring, but Switchblade ducks and Orange hits Moxley inadvertently. Switchblade hits Orange with the Blade Runner, then The Last Outfit retreats.

The Don Callis Family (Mark Davis, Jake Doyle, Wardlow) beats The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia, Gabe Kidd) in a trios match.
Adam Copeland beats "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander in a Clockwork Carnage qualifier. After the match, Copeland says the last few weeks have been difficult, but a lot of people do not know that at the Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match at All Out, Christian Cage was thrown into a ladder five minutes into the match and ended up breaking three ribs, with one broken in three places, and suffered a collapsed lung; nevertheless, he was on top of a ladder reaching for the AEW World Tag Team Championships due to his work ethic and because he did it for the fans. Copeland says that because of this, he had to do some soul searching, and he has realized that he is "aging out" of wrestling, and because of that, 2027 will be his last year in professional wrestling. He says he has to go for the AEW World Championship because of this, then Don Callis and "The Machine" Brian Cage show up. Callis says it has been a great night for his family, with Mark Davis having pinned Jon Moxley with more to come tonight, and says that while Copeland may think he has won the battle tonight, "Don Callis always wins the war." Callis then asks Copeland who he thinks he is, and says that people like Copeland do not get to think about things like timing and retirement and that people like him tell how it is going to be. Callis then tells Copeland that he is usually right on his predictions and that he does not like Copeland's chances of seeing 2027 or even this Saturday's Clockwork Carnage Match. Copeland is attacked from behind by "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, "The Jet" Kevin Knight, Josh Alexander and Lance Archer in what becomes a five-on-one attack. All of a sudden, "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita and The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) show up, and they force Don Callis and his family to flee before they check on Copeland.

Speedball says that he has qualified and that he will be ready for anyone else who will be part of the match, including Ospreay. Hayter mentions that Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron are #1 contenders for the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championships, and Windsor says that if they are ready to get slapped up, they know where to find them. Andrade says that Ciampa will not be able to beat him.
Tony Schiavone interviews FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway on the stage. Harwood says that there is one thing that gives his joy, and that is being a champion. He says that FTR have beaten The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) three out of five times, and want to know why they are not #1 contenders. Instead of The Young Bucks, The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) show up instead, and Sabin says that while FTR's legacy is undeniable, The Motor City Machine Guns can match their reputations. He says they have both created reputations, but they are living in the present, not in the past, and AEW has the best tag team division in professional wrestling. Sabin says they will prove they are the best by beating FTR, and Shelley says that by using the same logic as FTR, they should beat FTR three out of five times in a best-of-five series. Shelley also proposes that they can have the first match tonight, but Stokely says this is not happening in Cleveland, Ohio. He does agree that this is a big money match and a dream series, and that WrestleDream would be the best place to start this off.
In backstage footage from after Grand Slam France, we hear from "Hangman" Adam Page and Brodido (Brody King and Bandido). Hangman is irritated with Swerve Strickland for dragging him through the same hell that they have already been through before, and Brody says that whatever Swerve is doing, it is working. He says that they need Hangman's head in the game, as unity is strength. Bandido says that they will take their titles and their honor in a two-out-of-three falls match at WrestleDream.

We see a video package for MJF, who is #1 in this year's PWI 500 ranking in Pro Wrestling Illustrated.
We hear from The New Level (Kofi and "Awesome" Austin Creed) and Prince Nana. Nana says that Swerve Strickland had some important family business to take care of, but has asked one of his good friends to take his place tonight: comedian Mojo Brookzz. Brookzz says he wants some in-ring action against Brody King before the four of them head to the ring. Mojo Brookzz says he is here to make something happen, then says that WrestleDream is coming up and that The New Level and Swerve are laying it all on the line against "Hangman" Adam Page and Brodido (Brody King and Bandido), and Kofi says that they are going up against three of the greatest wrestlers on AEW's roster right now. Mojo Brookzz dares "Hangman" Adam Page to set his house on fire so they can see how fast Hangman ends up tied up and missing, that Bandido wears a mask because he is ugly, and that he wants Brody King. Kofi says they know how good all three of them are, as they have already beaten them at All Out. Creed says they want the match to be two-out-of-three falls so that there is no excuse as to who the best trio is, as anybody can lucky once, but not everybody can get lucky twice. He says this will be more than a title defense, but proof as to why they are the champions, and Hangman would be better off not letting his personal issues with Swerve become professional issues with his friends.
Triangle of Madness ("The Toxic Spider" Thekla, Julia Hart, Skye Blue) beat The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) and Mercedes Moné in a trios match after Julia Hart spits black mist into Lena Kross' eyes behind referee Aubrey Edwards' back.
Samoa Joe and Tommaso Ciampa beat United Empire (Will Ospreay and Andrade el Idolo) by submission with a Coaquin Clutch from Samoa Joe to Andrade after Ciampa hits a DDT through the ropes on the AEW National Championship behind referee Bryce Remsburg's back. After the match, it is announced that Tommaso Ciampa will face Andrade el Idolo for the AEW National Championship at WrestleDream.
Will Ospreay heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Ospreay says that a year has gone by since he got surgery and doubt set in on whether or not he could get back and win the big one, as well as his start in the United Kingdom and Scotland where he wrestled weekends and went to work the rest of the week just to get to this point. He says that he loved being in the foxhole with the same people who followed the same dream and learning from the legend of British legends, as well as paying tributes to the ones who are not here anymore. Ospreay says that he did it all to see if he really is the best, and when one talks about the best, it is hard to see past Kenny Omega, and while he knows Omega is not here tonight, nobody respects Omega more than he does. Ospreay says that while there is no better wrestler this decade than Kenny Omega, respect went out the window the moment Omega mentioned his son needing a new hero after he loses to him, as he has some promises to keep for family and friends. He says that Omega will "get the billy goat for sure" as well as the fight of his life, and warns him not to "fuck with a man looking after a boy." Ospreay says there is a debt that needs to be paid, and that "it is time to bring it home." He says Omega will show his boy that heroes are just ordinary people who can do extraordinary things, and that this Sunday, he will take it all.
Jon Moxley beats Claudio Castagnoli to advance to the finals of the AEW Continental Challenge Cup.
Adam Copeland and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) beat The Don Callis Family (Rocky "Azucar" Romero, "The Machine" Brian Cage, Jake Doyle) in a trios match despite Copeland nearly getting inadvertently Superkicked by The Young Bucks during the match. After the match, Christian Cage shows up and says he does not associate with people who are beneath him, and that as far as tag teams go, The Young Bucks are beneath him despite how influential they have become. Christian says that he and Copeland are the kind of legends that matches and pay-per-views are named after, and that The Young Bucks will learn the difference between "influence" and "legendary." Nick Jackson asks Christian if anyone has ever named a wrestling company after him, then addresses accidentally Superkicking Christian in the face and how it will stop being an accident if Christian keeps up. This leads to a confrontation in which Nick gets kicked in the groin by Christian and Matt Jackson gets Speared by Copeland.
Willow Nightingale's entrance theme hits, then it is revealed that Willow has been attacked backstage by Mercedes Moné, who says that tonight is Willow's last Dynamite as Women's World Champion.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and Mark Davis. Callis says he is back from Croatia and feeling refreshed, and that whoever wins between Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship will have a surprise. He says that Mark Davis has drawn a number, and if Davis' number is called, he will settle the score with Andrade el Idolo and get closer to the AEW World Championship "with a little London luck."
Andrade El Idolo's music hits at first, then stops. MJF's entrance theme then plays, and MJF makes his way to the ramp. MJF says it great to be here in "beautiful sunny Ireland," then realized he is in Scotland before calling everybody alcoholics, which actually gets cheered. MJF then says he has paid some people off to "warm Andrade el Idolo up" and that while Andrade is not here, he is. He says that what Andrade does is not special and that he can do the same thing, even though finding a hot chick in Scotland is impossible. He finds a hot chick in the crowd, then Andrade appears MJF and says "How you know?" Andrade then clobbers MJF with the microphone when MJF turns around, and that leads to a brief brawl in the ring that MJF barely escapes from.
Backstage, we hear from Chris Jericho, who says that this is the biggest weekend in AEW with the highest of stakes, and while he knows how important his biggest matches have been, he knows how important All In is, and that he is entering the Men's Casino Gauntlet. Jericho then says that he will be part of a six-man tag match later tonight.
Nigel McGuinness beats Kyle O'Reilly by submission with London Dungeon to advance to the finals of the AEW Continental Challenge Cup.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher. Callis says there is always competition among alpha athletes, but at the end of the day, he expects the family to run the play. Fletcher says that he trusts Don Callis with all of his heart and that he is willing to run the play at All In, but wants to know if "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada will do the same. Okada shows up and says family is the most important thing and that Fletcher can trust him, but Fletcher asks what he should trust Okada to do when Okada was nowhere to be seen when he was attacked last week. Okada says Fletcher thinks only of himself, and reiterates the importance of family.
Persephone and The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) beat Maya World and The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) in a trios match after Persephone hits Maya World with a top rope splash while The Divine Dominion and The Brawling Birds brawl their way to the back.

We see Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay preparing for their match at All In.

Ospreay mentions Omega having a bit match and reminds Omega not to overdo it, and Omega does the same thing for Omega. Moxley suddenly shows up and says that there is no tension in the room, then leaves. Omega then leaves the room so Ospreay can prepare.
"The Jet" Kevin Knight retains the TNT Championship against Darby Allin. During the match, Knight shoves Darby into referee Paul Turner, knocking Turner out when the back of Turner's head hits the ropes. Knight brings the TNT Championship into the match to use it as a weapon, and while his first attempt is thwarted with a Scorpion Deathdrop, Knight is able to nail Darby when Darby goes for a Coffin Drop off the top rope. Knight hits Darby with a coast-to-coast drop kick before hitting Darby with the UFO Splash to win and retain. After the match, "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada make their way to the ring for the next match.
Renee Paquette interviews The Don Callis Family in the ring. Mark Davis says the only way he has a match on Sunday is if Andrade el Idolo can peel himself off the pavement where he left him. "The Jet" Kevin Knight says he will become "Jet Two Belts" at Redemption after breaking Darby Allin and a defense record once held by Kyle Fletcher. He also says he did it without the family. Fletcher hopes that Knight becomes a double champion, then says he does not need the help of the family to defend his title, either. He then says he will prove it by talking to Tony Khan and ensuring everyone is banned from ringside in his match with Bandido on Sunday. Fletcher says that everyone is also banned from ringside right now when he and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada wrestle Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) next. The family heads to the back, while Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.
Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) beats The Don Callis Family ( "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada) after Okada inadvertently lays out Fletcher.

We see a short video package for Chris Jericho (as "The Painmaker") vs. Tommaso Ciampa at Redemption.
Mick Foley heads to the ramp for a face-to-face meeting between Willow Nightingale and "The Toxic Spider" Thekla. Thekla is introduced first, followed by Willow Nightingale. Thekla is briefly accompanied by Julia Hart and Skye Blue. Thekla announces that Triangle of Madness (Julia, Skye, Thekla) are Artist of Stardom Champions before Willow is introduced. Willow says it is nice to see Thekla face-to-face as opposed to being hit from behind with a cheap shot, and Thekla says that Willow's positivity is a facade and that she is "poisoned inside." Thekla says that she will beat the poison out of Willow and expose how ugly she really is, but Willow says that Thekla's toxicity is a facade and that Thekla talks big because she feels so small. Willow says that Thekla's swagger has made her a double champion, but the AEW World Women's Championship is all she cares about and that Thekla is a shortcut for her to get to it. Mick Foley admits that he sees himself in Willow, and Thekla tells Mick Foley to shut up before Willow tells her that she is "acting like a dumb bitch now" before acknowledges the similarities between her and Mick Foley. She says that she is capable of doing sick and twisted things to become champion and that she will make sure she walks out of Redemption as champion. Thekla is impressed, and tells Willow to smile anyway once she has her beaten before hitting her with one of her gloves. Mick Foley gets between Thekla and Willow, but that does not stop Thekla from hitting Willow in the face with a microphone. She then takes off her leather belt, but Willow hits Thekla with the belt before she can strike.

In backstage footage from earlier today, we hear from Daniel Garcia and Will Ospreay. They are training with Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta as Jon Moxley shows up and tells everyone to get ready. Claudio, Garcia and Yuta leave, then Moxley tells Ospreay that most of the work is done and his neck has healed. Moxley says that people make simple things so complicated, and that when the moment comes, they hesitate. He tells Ospreay that he has earned this, and tells him that there will be times where he will have to make some hard decisions. Moxley says this is not a hard decision, and when he has the moment, he will not hesitate; he will pull the trigger.
Adam Copeland and Christian Cage retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships against The Death Riders (Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia) after Yuta removes a top turn buckle only for Christian to kick Garcia in the groin behind referee Bryce Remsburg's back, which allows Christian to send Yuta upwards into a Spear by Copeland to win and retain.

Tony Schiavone introduces Kenny Omega into the ring for a championship celebration. Omega is soon joined by The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), and Nick Jackson is carrying something in what looks like a light brown bag. 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.

He says he has no sympathy for Private Party like he has no sympathy for Will Ospreay, and says that he will never stand between a person and the consequences of their actions. Moxley declares that Ospreay got exactly what he asked for and has found himself in an unsanctioned cage match because no doctor will clear him due to his broken neck. He then mentions Ospreay's match with PAC on next week's Dynamite, and says PAC has even less patience than him for Ospreay's emotional response to this cold game.
"The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada retains the AEW International Championship against "The Jet" Kevin Knight after sitting down on a roll-up pin and using the ropes for leverage.
The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong) beat The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal and "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson). After the match, Roderick Strong says he had to take some time away from The Conglomeration after Kyle Fletcher got injured, then says that change had to happen in him and that he is now a member of The Conglomeration. Clark Connors and David Finlay then show up on the video package, stating that it is not over between them and the closer they are to death, the more they feel alive. They then challenge Orange and Roddy to a tag team match.
The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) beat Alex Gracia and Vipress.
Tommaso Ciampa beats Lio Rush.
Mistico and JetSpeed ("The Jet" Kevin Knight and "Speedball" Mike Bailey) retain the AEW World Trios Championships against The Don Callis Family ("The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander, El Clon, "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita).
