After the match, The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) show up, but instead of arriving from backstage, they come out of the crowd and attack The Brawling Birds from behind. The Divine Dominion soon slam Alex Windsor on the timekeeper's table, which amazingly does not break.

Orange Cassidy beats Matt Sydal to advance in the Continental Challenge Cup after avoiding a top rope Shooting Star Press and hitting the Beach Break.



Backstage, Jon Moxley congratulates Claudio Castagnoli for advancing in the Continental Challenge Cup. Moxley then says he is naked and stripped bare without the Continental Championship and that he is fair game for prey like "Jungle" Jack Perry. He says he has respect for Perry, but he is on the wrong team tonight, and he has a hair up his ass for The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn). Moxley then says it is a bad night for Perry's new friends.



The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz) beat Steven Fuerte and Aaron Solo. After the match, Dezmond Xavier says that The Rascalz won at Mile High Madness the last time they were in Colorado, and that nobody knows more about being a mile high than them. Wentz says that they have proven that they belong in AEW, and he and Dez agree that they have proven themselves in tag and trios action. Myron Reed says they can also handle their own in singles action, and that he is in action tonight against "Speedball" Mike Bailey.

We hear from The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay). David Finlay runs his shillelagh against metal grating before Clark Connors brags about their recent victories against The Bang Bang Gang before declaring that Finlay will beat "Switchblade" Jay White in the Continental Challenge Cup.

The Dogs then put the entire tag team division on notice.

Hikaru Shida and Persephone beat Hyan and Maya World.



Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews "The Jet" Kevin Knight. Knight says he became the best TNT Champion when he stopped listening to what "the little people" think, and says that Darby Allin was the first casualty of all that. He says that Darby would not have won on Wednesday without Chris Jericho, who he challenges to a TNT Championship match next week so he can correct that loss.

We see footage of "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita in the G1 Climax tournament.

The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia) beat "Jungle" Jack Perry and The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn) in an eight-man tag match after "The Problem" Marina Shafir distracts referee Rick Knox, allowing The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay) to show up and crotch Austin Gunn on the ring post on the outside, allowing Wheeler Yuta to hit the Busaiku Knee on Colton Gunn for the win. After the match, Perry and Juice Robinson take out Wheeler Yuta in response.



Backstage, "Speedball" Mike Bailey says he is grateful for his World Trios title win at Grand Slam Mexico, but he is not AEW International Champion. He says that he is still locked in after tonight's match, and that he will compete for the #2 spot in the Casino Gauntlet Match. Suddenly, "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne shows up and says that Speedball will fumble his next championship quest like all the others, then proclaims that he will beat Bandido at ROH Against All Odds to become the youngest Ring of Honor World Champion.

MVP says that Shane Taylor has their undivided attention and that they will be in touch.

Backstage, we hear from "Jungle" Jack Perry and The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn). Perry says that his mother told him to stay away from gangs, but The Bang Bang Gang seems alright. Perry then states that it is him and Jon Moxley one-on-one next Wednesday with no one else in the way, and tells Moxley to enjoy tonight's victory, as it only takes one upset for Moxley to no longer be Continental Champion. Juice Robinson says that if it were not for The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay), they would have won tonight, and that David Finlay has no chance against "Switchblade" Jay White without help from David Finlay.

Eddie Kingston beats Jake Doyle by submission with the Stretch Plumb to advance in the Continental Challenge Cup.

The Bang Bang Gang ("Switchblade" Jay White, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn) head to the ring. Jay White says PAC is confused and wondering how he is burning in his spotlight, then he, Austin and Colten discuss how to pronounce PAC's name before Jay White states PAC made three mistakes. He says PAC stared The Bang Bang Gang down instead of running away, stuck his nose in their business and begged them to make him care and got what he asked for. PAC appears on the video screen and says this is what he wanted to see, and that he has wound them up. He then says three-on-one is not exactly fair, then Death Triangle (PAC, Penta el Zero Miedo, Rey Fenix) shows up. Death Triangle go on the attack, forcing The Bang Bang Gang to retreat before PAC challenges them for the United Trios Championships at Double or Nothing so he can say just how hard they are.



"The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho and Big Cass guest on commentary for the next match.

Katsuyori Shibata and Hook beat "The Outlaw" Bryan Keith by double submission in a Triple Threat Match to decide a #1 contender for the FTW Championship.

They then take over and nearly hit Danielson with the EVP-Trigger, and as Danielson fights back, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada shows up. This distracts Danielson so that he is attacked from behind by Jack Perry. The Elite (Nicholas, Matthew, Okada, Perry) then gang up on Danielson before Darby Allin shows up at the arena - with Tony Khan in the driver's seat - carrying a flamethrower as The Elite are about to put him through a table near the ramp.

They get a metal folding chair, and Buddy and Brody hold Copeland down as Malakai says he does not care why Copeland maintains a facade of what he thinks he is, then tells Buddy to take Copeland's wedding ring. Brody chokes Copeland out to ensure Buddy does just that, then Malakai takes the wedding ring and examines it before pocketing the ring. He and Buddy place chairs next to a downed Copeland when Kyle O'Reilly rushes in. O'Reilly fights off Malakai and Buddy, but he is clotheslined by Brody.

Backstage, we hear from Malakai Black, who looks at Adam Copeland's ring as he says that the ring has been holding Copeland back. He then says that he knew there was a part of Copeland that still existed when he issued a challenge for a barbed wire steel cage match, and when he beats Copeland, Copeland must bend the knee to The House of Black (Malakai Black, Brody King, Buddy Matthew, Julia Hart).
Hook beats Sebastian Wolfe with Redrum. After the match, Hook takes the microphone and says that he is here for Chris Jericho and the FTW Championship, and calls Jericho out. Jericho shows up with Big Bill and says it is great to have Hook, hopes that Hook had learned a few lessons after last time, then says it is great to share the spotlight with Hook. Hook says he wants the spotlight on Jericho when he beats him for the FTW Championship tonight. Jericho says this is a teaching moment, not a fighting moment, and tells Hook that the world does not revolve around him and that he should be less selfish like him. Jericho says he and Big Bill are here to entertain everyone tonight, and tells Hook that he must work his way back up when he loses a championship and that he and a few others will have a qualifying match, and if Hook wins, he has the chance to face him again. Hook accepts, then hits Jericho in the head with the microphone and beats him up. Big Bill grabs Hook from behind, and the numbers game quickly takes over. Suddenly, Katsuyori Shibata shows up and makes the save for Hook as he sends Big Bill flying out of the ring.



Backstage, Swerve Strickland tells the state of Washington that he brought the AEW World Championship home, then says that The Mogul Embassy ("The Machine" Brian Cage, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) bit the hand that fed them and got put down and that he is now focused on Double or Nothing.

Shibata asks Hook if that means beating him, as he wants another shot at Jericho. Hook says that is fine by him, then Samoa Joe shows up and says he thought Hook was something special until Jericho had him at Shibata's neck, and tells him that if they would stop getting at each other throats, they would be dangerous in AEW. Hook tells Joe he will fight him, and Shibata says Joe is too large to be wearing a floral pattern.

Backstage, Undisputed Kingdom (Roderick Strong, Matt Taven, Mike Bennett, Wardlow) and Will Ospreay have a backstage interview with a "no physicality" clause. Ospreay says that he has a bad taste in his mouth after last week, and says that Roderick Strong is only comfortable as champion because he is surrounded by Undisputed Kingdom and because he has retired the Tiger Driver '91. He tells him that he has done the Tiger Driver '91 on people he has loved and respected and admits he has no respect for Roddy as Roddy has none for him. Roddy says Ospreay is right about that, as he is talented in the ring and an idiot out of it, and while Ospreay has a wife and child, he still acts like the same immature little boy. He says his neck injured, but he does not quit, and he does not care what people think of Ospreay because he knows Ospreay is a fraud. Ospreay says Roddy will learn a lesson after looking down at him for years when he shows him why he is on another level.

Renee Paquette moderates a contract signing between Mercedes Moné and Willow Nightingale for the TBS Championship at Double or Nothing. Mercedes arrives first, followed by Willow. Willow says she respects Mercedes and everything she has done in her career, but she wants to know if she respect the TBS Championship, which celebrates the legacy of professional wrestling over the last fifty years on a foundation built on fighting. She says that she is the face of TBS, and that "Nothing matters, smile anyway" means that her smile is her strength and that the TBS Championship matters, and she will not let Mercedes take the title from her. She then signs the contract. Mercedes says "Money changes everything" is a fact, not a catchphrase, as she was changing the game while Willow was still training and breaking glass ceilings as she made her way to the top. Mercedes tells Willow that she respects her and that she is a great champion, but there is a difference between being great and being the greatest of all time. She says that she is the new face of TBS, and while the best part of Willow's career was beating her, her loss to her at Double or Nothing will still be the best part of her career, as her legacy is all about winning. Mercedes signs the contract. Willow reminds Mercedes that she walked out as champion while Mercedes did not walk out at all last time they wrestled. Mercedes slaps Willow, starting a brawl, and Willow responds with a Doctor Bomb through the table.



"The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada retains the AEW Continental Championship against Dax Harwood. During the match, Okada brings the Continental Championship into the ring, and when the ref takes it away, Okada hits Dax with a low blow before hitting him with the Rainmaker for the win. After the match, The Elite (Matthew Jackson, Nicholas Jackson, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, Jack Perry) attack Dax, and when Cash Wheeler and Bryan Danielson try to make the save, The Elite also gang up on them. All of a sudden, Darby Allin heads to the ring and attacks The Elite from behind with a skateboard, evening the odds and forcing The Elite to retreat.

Danielson talks about Jon Moxley winning the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship and his own match at Dynasty with Will Ospreay, then Claudio mentions Don Callis wanting Powerhouse Hobbs and Kyle Fletcher to hurt them. Claudio says it is easier for The Blackpool Combat Club to be beaten than hurt, as people have tried to do this for twenty years and they put in the work to be as good as they are.

Tony Schaivone interviews Thunder Rosa at the ramp. Thunder Rosa thanks the fans all around the world for making the memories of the last five years possible and making AEW what it is today, then says she does not need "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo's help to win the Women's World Championship. She says she did so much on her own, especially getting to where she is in AEW, then wonders what happened to "Timeless" Toni Storm that made her who she is. She also says her body could carry her as much as her passion, but she has another opportunity at Dynasty. She says that at Dynasty, she will not only carry the Women's World Championship, but the pride of her people and the support of her family, and if she has to break every bone in her body to uplift and empower the women's division, so be it. Thunder Rosa says Toni made a mistake messing with her facepaint, then tells her that she cannot kill what is already dead and that she is coming for her and the Women's World title as she drags her soul to Hell.



Backstage, we hear from "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo. She says that if Thunder Rosa does not want her help, that is fine, as she will help herself. She says "Timeless" Toni Storm does not embody what it means to be a world champion, but she does, and if she cannot get one Toni Storm, she might as well get the other and break Mariah May's arm.

Roderick Strong says he will give Romero the beating of a lifetime as he takes offense to O'Reilly wanting to challenge him for the International Championship. O'Reilly says it would be good to be champion, but Roderick Strong says he can be champion, just not International Champion, and that he can do whatever he wants on his own as long as it does not involve him.

We hear from Eddie Kingston, who talks about his loss to "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada and how he reacted to it, and mentions that he got a phone call from Homicide, who asked him why he was acting like "such a bitch" and where the vicious Eddie Kingston he knew was. Eddie says that this side of him is not the one that will beat Okada, but the one that will beat Mark Briscoe. Eddie says there is nothing personal between him and Mark Briscoe and that he loves him like a brother after having known him forever, but this is about the ROH World Championship and he cannot lose again. He says he will bring more than a fight, he will bring the old Eddie that doesn't care about life or another person's life. He says he will have to bust Mark Briscoe up because he does not want to lose again and does not want to feel that pain again, and he does not want his mentor Homicide to ever doubt him again.
