The Patriarchy (Christian Cage, "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne, Killswitch, Mama Wayne) head to the ring to start tonight's show. Christian talks about how a couple of weeks ago, THe Patriarchy did what he said they would went they became the AEW World Trios Champions, and that on his road back to becoming World Heavyweight Championship, he would use the Trios titles as a vehicle and a gift to his family for showing their support to him over the past year. He says that a belt is used to hold up one's pants or discipline a naught child, and that what he has around his waist is a title, and until one realizes this, they are not deserving of being a champion. Christian then says that he is proud to say that his family has realized what these championship titles really mean, and with his spirit growing with him, he will present The Patriarchy with their championship titles. Christian puts Nick Wayne on a pedestal as he admires the leaps and bounds he has grown since the beginning and how he is the prodigy that he claimed he was, and that Nick Wayne is now the youngest champion in AEW history. As for Killswitch, he has been the finisher and muscle that does all the dirty work that is needed as Christian has asked him to be, and Christian says that The Patriarchy does not work without Killswitch. Christian hugs Killswitch as he acknowledges him and tells him how much he means to him, but since he did not give birth to a prodigy, his title goes to Mama Wayne instead. As Killswitch is about to confront Christian, The House of Black (Malakai Black and Brody King) shows up. Christian calls Brody King "Jelly Roll" as he says that The House of Black are not a trio anymore due to what The Patriarchy did to Buddy Matthew and that they are only here because they look at him and realize that everything he touches turns to gold. Christian says he has heard about the hype train behind Malakai Black and that Malakai is asking for "fatherly advice" after not living up to that hype, and says that after The Patriarchy went through The Bang Bang Gang ("Rock Hard" Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn) like a hot knife through butter, Malakai and Brody should imagine what they could do to the two of them. When Christian asks them what they were thinking, Malakai says "This." The lights go out, and when they come back on, Buddy Matthews stands with Malakai and Brody. The Patriarchy immediately retreats, but The Bang Bang Gang suddenly shows up, and The Patriarchy is surrounded and forced to flee through the crowd. Unfortunately, Nick Wayne is caught by Kip Sabian, who throws him back over the barricade. The Bang Bang Gang throws Nick Wayne back into the ring, and The House of Black demoish Nick Wayne while the rest of The Patriarchy can only watch. Both The House of Black and The Bang Bang Gang then play tug-of-war with the reamining Trios title, as Christian declares that neither trio deserves title shots.
Backstage, Lexy Nair intervews "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes and The Von Erichs (Marshall and Ross Von Erich). Dustin says it has been a very emotional couple of weeks, and that it is an honor to be 55 years old and step into the ring one more time with a wrestling family that he has watched since he was a child with their up-and-coming progeny, take their opponents to the limit and become "Texas' best" and Ring of Honor World Six-Man Tag Team Champions. Marshall says that the fans don't see what is behind twelve years in the business and to have a payoff like this with Dustin around and their father present is the greatest night of his career. Ross proclaims that "The Von Erich-Rhodes Era has officially begun," then Sammy Guevara shows up. Sammy says that he and Dustin have a long history and that Dustin does not trust him, but Dustin tells Sammy that trust is earned. Sammy says he is looking to earn trust, as he is stuck in a vortex and he can be his own man for the first time in five years. He says that he wants to team with Dustin and The Von Erichs, as they are all "four Texas legends." Dustin shakes his hand and accepts Sammy's proposition.
Before the next match, "Smart" Mark Sterling says that Mistico and Hologram do not even belong in the same sport as The Premier Athletes (Tony Nese and Ariya Daivairi), much less the same ring, and that they should be working on their floor routine or on the balance beam losing to the superior athletes over in Paris, France. He then says tonight will deliver the same results, with the only difference being that Mistico and Hologram will lose to superior athletes in Texas "in front of fat people."

After the match, Kyle Fletcher addresses MJF, who he calls "the most self-centered son of a bitch" he has ever met, then says that if he hits MJF with the piledriver like he did to Brian Cage, MJF might not even make it to Wembley Stadium, and that fills him with joy. He then says that if MJF is the American hero that he claims to be, then he will put the AEW American Championship on the line so that he can become AEW International Champion and face his best friend Will Ospreay. MJF shows up on the video screen and says Kyle Fletcher sounds like an idiot while he sounds like "a perfect American," then says Fletcher is a typical foreign invader trying to steal things away from hard working Americans like himself that he has not earned. He says there is a laundry list of people who want a shot at his title and that not everyone becomes famous by beating him and that others become famous by beating Will Ospreay without breaking a sweat. He says he would not expect Kyle Fletcher to do that because he is not an American hero like himself. MJF then says he is not just an American hero and not just humble or handsome, he is the salt of the earth, and he proposes an AEW American Championship Eliminator Match on Dynamite. He states that if Fletcher can beat him "in North Carolina in front of all those redneck hicks," he is willing to give him a title shot the following week, then says it will not happen because he is a professional wrestler and an American hero, not an Australian barbarian, and he plants to teach Fletcher a lesson.

Jeff Jarrett says he could not be more thrilled to be a part of getting "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson ready for All In, but Danielson must not just get ready for All In; he must get ready for Swerve Strickland. He says Swerve is the msot dangerous manin all of AEW, and if he wants to get ready for Swerve, he must get ready for anything, and proposes that they make their match anything goes with no rules. Jeff says he respects Danielson as both a wrestler and a man, but Danielson is now on the fighting side of him and he is going to introduces Danielson to "The Last Outlaw."

Bowens says they do not now what to do to earn FTR's respect, saying that he stabbed a man in the ad with a pair of scissors so that FTR can talk about their legacy that they do not care about, as they are building their own and they are a homegrown tag team. Bowens asys that FTR does not get to cut the line to face The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) for the tag team titles, as that belongs to The Acclaimed, and that the scoreboard reads "Acclaimed 1, FTR 0," and if FTR has a problem with it, they can nut up or shut up.
