Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Adam Copeland, Darby Allin and Steven Borden. As Copeland is ready to team with Darby and Borden, Christian Cage and eulogizes the end of Sting's in-ring career, but Darby reminds Christian it is not over between them. Christian notes their history. We then hear from FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler), Stokely Hathaway and The Don Callis Family (Don Callis, "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, "The Jet" Kevin Knight). Stokely says that FTR will become the tag team champions at All Out, and Don Callis says that Knight and Fletcher should be in contention for the titles after last week.

Stokely Hathaway guests on commentary for the next match.

Adam Copeland, Christian Cage, Darby Allin and Steven Borden beat FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and The Don Callis Family ("The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Jet" Kevin Knight) in an eight-man tag match.

Backstage, we hear from The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, PAC, Gabe Kidd). Moxley says Will Ospreay has targeted him and that he feels "some type of way" about it. He says it is incredible what Ospreay has overcome in the past year and that nobody understands like him what he has gone through, as he is hard on himself and others. He says that a championship around anyone's waist does not make them the best, and while All In will inspire future generations, it was all about what Ospreay was becoming. Moxley says he never wanted Ospreay to follow him, but to lead, and that this is where everything between them has headed. He says that by now, Ospreay knows that when he looks across the ring at him at All Out, everything that happens to him will be his responsibility. Gabe Kidd says they should not wait until All Out to break him or cut him into pieces, and PAC says there is a clear line between them and United Empire (Andrade el Idolo and Francesco Akira) and that they will not let Ospreay off the hook.

We see a video package chronicling the feud between The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) and The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross).

Chris Jericho beats "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne after pulling the necklace off of Nick Wayne's neck. It is announced during the match that next week's show will be a three-hour special. After the match, Nick Wayne is upset to the point that he does not even want to shake Jericho's hand. When Jericho leaves the ring, Nick Wayne kicks the middle rope into Jericho's groin before wrapping the necklace around his right hand for a few punches. Nick Wayne then grabs a chair and smacks Jericho in the back with it before leaving the ring.

It is announced that Mercedes Moné is not cleared to compete at All Out, but she will be cleared to wrestle at WrestleDream and face either "The Toxic Spider" Thekla or Willow Nightingale. We then see a video package for Willow Nightingale vs. Thekla at All Out, with the winner facing Mercedes Moné for the AEW World Women's Championship at WrestleDream.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Will Ospreay, Francesco Akira and Andrade el Idolo. Ospreay says they will take the fight to The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, PAC, Gabe Kidd), then addresses the awkwardness of him being AEW World Champion and Andrade el Idolo having a contract for a championship match with him. After Andrade says that they are on the same team tonight, Francesco Akira says something in Italian, then Ospreay tells Akira to say something in English. Akira immediately says "Let's kick the shit out of The Death Riders!"

"Hangman" Adam Page and Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) beat The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) in a trios match to earn a shot at the AEW World Trios Championships at All Out.

Tony Schiavone introduces Swerve Strickland, Prince Nana and The New Level (Kofi and "Awesome" Austin Creed) to the ring. All of a sudden, Swerve and The New Level are attacked by The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona). Kofi tries to fight back by getting on top of Toa Liona, but he is easily overpowered, and Bishop Kaun hits him with a Pedigree. Swerve gets in the ring just before Ricochet does, and while Swerve fends off The Demand, the numbers game proves to be too much. The Demand then pose with the World Trios Championships in front of a downed Swerve and New Level.

We hear from "Jungle" Jack Perry backstage. Perry says he is on a mission to face the former World Champions of AEW, and while he has lost against two and has had his ass kicked all over the place, he is enjoying it, learning something, and feeling something. He feels that he is inching closer to his victory and the impossible dream within defeat. Perry says that he wanted to face the best to become the best, and now he is going to call his shot. He then calls out Samoa Joe, saying Joe is both feared and loved, but not by him. Perry says Joe has been gone long enough and that it is time for Joe to teach him something. He says that he knows the legend, and he tells Joe to come back and make his day. We then see "Joe is gonna kill you" on the wall in red spray paint.

Lena Kross beats Jamie Hayter after Megan Bayne distracts referee Aubrey Edwards with one of the AEW Women's World Tag Team titles so that Lena Kross can hit Jamie Hayter in the midsection with a pipe followed by the Jackhammer for the win. After the match, Bayne and Kross retreat after Alex Windsor rushes to the ring with a wooden table leg.

We see a video package for Andrade el Idolo. Andrade talks about how he was born with professional wrestling in his blood and how his grandfather, father and six uncles gave their blood for business. He says that it is not just his destiny, but the result of four generations of his family being in a wrestling ring.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada. Okada says he has given this a lot of thought, and says that Tommaso Ciampa is a bitch when it comes to giving Ciampa a shot at the International Championship. This leads to Ciampa immediately attacking Okada before saying he wants "The Psycho Killer versus The Rainmaker" and calling Okada a bitch.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor). They make it clear to The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) that anything not nailed down will be used against them next week.

The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, PAC, Gabe Kidd) beat United Empire (Will Ospreay, Francesco Akira, Andrade el Idolo) in a trios match by submission with a Death Rider followed by the bulldog choke from Moxley to Akira. After the match, Moxley keeps the hold on, then chases the referee out of the ring only to lock it in again. He lets go, then locks it in a third time. Andrade el Idolo fends the Death Riders off, but he is soon attacked from behind by Clark Connors and David Finlay. Moxley then hands a metal folding chair off to Gabe Kidd, who wraps the chair around Akira's head. Ospreay gets in the ring and hits multiple Hidden Blades to make the save for Akira.

She says that Statlander is afraid of her and cannot handle her. Thekla says that at Revolution, Statlander cannot run. Statlander shows up and takes down Julia Hart and Skye Blue before clotheslining Thekla in the ring and taking off her belt, which she throws to Thekla. Statlander then turns her back to Thekla, and Thekla strikes away with the belt. Statlander still gets to her feet for more, but Thekla punches her and goes for the ground and pound instead. Thekla leaves, then Statlander grabs the microphone and says she does not want Thekla to be afraid of her, but to be afraid of what she will have to do to keep her down.

Backstage, we hear from "The Problem" Marina Shafir, who says that she listened to "Timeless" Toni Storm's advice to stay in her lane some time ago and it worked. She now says that a "batshit insane" Toni Storm cannot take her own advice, but because of Toni's advice, she is one of one, and Toni will soon have a car crash the likes of which nobody else will recognize her after.

The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) beat The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Ace Austin) after Ricochet hits Austin Gunn with the Spirit Gunn after Austin Gunn hits Bishop Kaun with 3:10 to Yuma before putting Kaun on top of Austin Gunn for the pin and the win. After the match, The Demand lays out The Bang Bang Gang, then Ricochet grabs the microphone and hits Gunn with it before stating that AEW is sabotaging his title reign and that regardless of how many people are in the Blackjack Battle Royal, he is the only one that matters. Ricochet says that he will walk in and out of the Blackjack Battle Royal as AEW National Champion.

Backstage, we hear from "Jungle" Jack Perry, who says that tomorrow night is an opportunity to realize a lifelong dream by competing in the building that made him want to become a professional wrestler.

He tells Ricochet he will see him at Revolution.

We hear from "Timeless" Toni Storm, who says that the circus seems like a dream at first only to not be. She says that every circus animal believes they rule the ring, but when the whip cracks, they sit. She says every circus ends the same way: the lights fade, the music dies, and someone is left lying in the sawdust. She says that when she and Marina Shafir reach their final act, Shafir will realize she is nothing more than a performer in Circus Timeless.

In backstage footage from after Dynamite, we hear from Kris Statlander, who says that she will only speak when she needs to, and now, she needs to. She says she and Thekla have beaten each other once, but once is not enough, and at Revolution, they will have two out of three falls and Thekla's killing is coming twice.

We hear from "The Toxic Spider" Thekla, who asks when the challenger dictates what the match is and that she is not doing the two out of three falls match, but quickly reconsiders after asking what makes Kris Statlander think she can beat her twice, and says that Statlander wears sunglasses and all leather because she cannot look her in the eye anymore and wants to be like her. Thekla then says Thunder Rosa should have listened to her, and now she has sent her back to Tijuna, then tells Statlander to take her own advice and quit while she is alive, for everything Statlander is afraid of is everything she is.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews JetSpeed ("Speedball" Mike Bailey and "The Jet" Kevin Knight). Knight calls Wednesday one of the hardest nights of his career because he came close to becoming AEW World Champion. He knows that more opportunities will come to him, but he also feels like he let Jet Set Rodeo (Speedball, Knight, "Hangman" Adam Page) down when he cost them the World Trios Championships. Speedball says they all lost, and while Hangman's situation with MJF made things more difficult, everything is good now, for at Revolution, they will team with Mistico and take back the World Trios Championships from The Don Callis Family ("The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, Mark Davis). Speedball says that he has what it takes to hold two championships and beat Kyle Fletcher for the TNT Championship. Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana show up, and Strickland wants to know why Knight does not know what it took, as he does not apply the pressure when he has his foot on the opponent's neck.

He says that this was the Ciampa that he remembered and expected. He blames himself for not trusting his instincts and letting his guard down, then calls Ciampa a coward for jumping him and aligning himself with FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler).
