Before the next match, Shawn Spears says that all mediocre careers must come to an end, and as he says that "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes is "sitting at home, washing his tights" (an obvious reference to the 1989 Batman movie), Dustin Rhodes' music plays. Shawn pretends to be afraid, then slowly turns to the camera and smiles, saying he had everybody fooled before telling referee Aubrey Edwards to ring the bell and count Rhodes out. Edwards reluctantly starts the count, but Rhodes' entrance theme music plays again, and this time, Brandi Rhodes shows up. As Brandi distracts Spears from the middle of the ramp, Rhodes shows up from behind Spears and attacks him, starting the match.

"Hangman" Adam Page shows up shortly after the beginning of the match on a horse and chases Guevara to the back of the stadium. When he cannot find him, Page heads to the bar. Hager ends up finding Page at the bar. After a drink, both men fight each other in the bar. Later on in the match, Santana and Ortiz throw Matt Hardy into a nearby pool, where - thanks to the water, which is apparently from the Lake of Reincarnation - Hardy transforms into Matt Hardy V1 (complete with a Matt Fact), Matt Hardy V2 and then back into "Broken" Matt Hardy. Also, Jacksonville Jaguars mascot Jackson De Ville gets a Judas Effect from Jericho, Jericho and referee Aubrey Edwards make a reference to instant replay in the NFL, Rick Knox gets superkicked after calling a foul for excessive celebration and un-sportsmanlike conduct for Alex Wright-style dancing, and Neo-1 - the successor to Vanguard-1 - shows up to spoil the fun for Sammy Guevara before Kenny Omega plants Guevara through a platform with One Winged Angel for the win. After the match, Omega gets the celebratory Gatorade bath.

Double Or Nothing - The Results



"Hangman" Adam Page - despite having no match due to his match with PAC cancelled - draws the Joker card for the match and last eliminates MJF to win the 21-man Casino Battle Royal during the Buy-In preshow - despite an injured left knee - to earn a shot at the AEW World Championship against either Chris Jericho or Kenny Omega.

Backstage, Alicia Atout (formerly of Impact Wrestling) interviews "Smiley" Kylie Ray, who is excited to be here. She is suddenly shushed by "The Librarian" Peter Avalon, who is in turn shushed by Leva Bates, who is also "The Librarian." Both of them shush ALicia and Kylie Ray as well as each other.

We see a video package for "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes vs. "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes later tonight.

A backstage worker asks them for their credentials, and Nick Jackson superkicks the man. Cody, Brandi, The Young Bucks are Kenny then make their way to the ramp, and Cody, The Young Bucks and Kenny take the microphone from each other before Kenny introduces everyone to the show. Kenny says he had butterflies before showing up, but the fans will get him through this and he feels that nobody on the ramp can do wrong. Matt Jackson says it is so cool to see so many people, but Cody reminds him there are only 13,000 people in the crowd. Matt reminds them that this is pro wrestling and that they have to round up, and Cody says they have set a new attendance record of 20,000. Cody gets everyone fired up, and the Buy-In pre-show ends.

(Evil Uno and Stu Grayson) are in the ring, then the light go back out. When they come back on, The Heartless are at ringside, and they and Super Smash Bros. decimate both teams.

Hikaru Shida, Riho Abe, and Ryo Mizunami beat Aja Kong, Yuka Sakazaki, and Emi Sakura. Near the end of the match, Kong, Sakazaki and Sakura almost win, but the bell rings despite a kick-out at two; referee Aubrey Edwards manages to be in position during the pinfall attempt and verify the two-count. Shida ends up pining Sakura for the win afterwards.

Before the next match, a throne (a reference to Triple H) is seen on the stage before "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes makes his entrance along with Brandi Rhodes, who is soon seen picking up a sledgehammer from underneath the ring (a reference to Stephanie McMahon). Cody takes the sledgehammer back to the throne, and his entrance music stops before he strikes the throne, which explodes.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes beats "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes in a knock-down, drag-out bloody match. At one point in the match, Brandi Rhodes gets caught hitting Dustin with a Spear on the outside, and when she refuses to leave after being ejected from the match by referee Earl Hebner, Diamond Dallas Page shows up and carries her to the back. After the match, Cody tells Dustin he does not get to retire here, as he asks him a favor. He announces that he has put himself in a match at Fight For The Fallen with a tag team partner of his choosing against The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), and tells him that he needs not a partner or a friend, but his older brother. Cody and Dustin have a tearful post-match hug before heading to the back together.

Jack Whitehall introduces Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, who arrives with the AEW World Championship in a gray bag. He says it is great to be back in Las Vegas, Nevada after defending the WWF Championship 26 years ago and that it is great to be here for another match with a world title implications. He thanks AEW for giving him the honor of being the presenter of the AEW World Championship, and introduces "Hangman" Adam Page to the ring. After Page makes his way to the ring, MJF shows up and makes fun of the recent attack on Bret at the WWE Hall of Fame before stating that the fans boo him because they are jealous at the quintessential future of All Elite Wrestling and that they are looking at the future face of the company, since a horse cannot be one. He says he is no horse scientist, but no matter how strong or fast a racehorse is, they become as useful as "the white trash hicks" in the crowd and have their brains blown out after being taken out back. MJF tells Page to save himself the embarrassment of being beaten to a bloody pulp and give his title shot to a real man who is better than him, since his victory was a fluke. Page punches MJF, who manages to back off the apron before Page can hit him. MJF turns around to leave, but is stopped by Jungle Boy as he is about to walk up the ramp. MJF says he is busy and leaves, but Jimmy Havoc shows up before MJF can get on the stage. MJF is quickly surrounded by Page, Jungle Boy and Jimmy Havoc, who beat him up. Page tosses MJF into the crowd, and as Havoc and Jungle Boy chase MJF to the back, Bret Hart presents the AEW World Championship.

Chris Jericho's entrance before the next match references previous gimmicks.

Chris Jericho beats Kenny Omega with the Judas Effect - a running back elbow - to face "Hangman" Adam Page for the vacant AEW World Championship. After the match, Jericho tells the fans that if they want him to boo him after the match, he does not care, for he is smart enough to know that this is his time and that for months, he has been saying that he is AEW and that AEW is a company for him, not the fans. He says that tonight's show has been a success because of him, and after beating Kenny Omega, he demands a thank you from the fans and from AEW. When he fails to get it, Dean Ambrose - now known as Jon Moxley after his recent departure from WWE - shows up from out of the crowd and gets in the ring with Jericho. Moxley hits Dirty Deeds on Jericho before doing the same to referee Paul Turner, and when he notices Kenny Omega getting up, he gets him set up for Dirty Deeds only for Omega to fight out of it and start a brawl between himself and Moxley that quickly gets into the crowd and makes its way onto the stage. Both men fight on the giant poker chips on the side of the stage, and Moxley hits Omega with Dirty Deeds followed by an Attitude Adjustment onto a panel below.
