MJF shows up and The Gunns and Juice Robinson "Ass Boys" and "Talentless Taint" respectively, then has the crowd alternate between both nicknames in a chant. He then says he has done a lot of bad things, then says it would be a good idea to list them off tonight, with thing such as tossing Chris Jericho off the top of a cage, whipping "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes with a belt, and calling Tony Khan "an effing mark." After stating that he has been honest about everything he has done because he is the fans' scumbag, he also states that he did not attack Jay White, and if nobody wants to talk it out like gentlemen, they can have a street fight. MJF gets in the ring, and when Juice Robinson and The Gunns retreat, Jay White sneaks into the ring and hits MJF with Blade Runner before holding up the AEW World Championship before walking off with it. Jay White then says he is a cut above MJF and that his games and parlor tricks do not work against him, and while MJF got the better of him last week, nobody believes what he says and that he is not like "those filthy poors." He then says the real MJF is a "pathetic, dirty liar" and a "slimy, gutless coward" and that AEW needs a truly elite champion and it is not MJF. He then challenges MJF for the AEW World Championship at Full Gear.

The attack on Jericho and Omega goes into the crowd before Takeshita and Don Callis duct tape Omega to the ropes so that Hobbs can hit Omega with a chair. Jericho puts himself between Hobbs and Omega, but Hobbs blasts him with the chair before punching Omega repeatedly in the gut. As he is about to hit Omega with the chair, however, Callis asks him to hand him the chair so that he can land the final blow, which he does by hitting Omega in the head with the chair before getting a few stomps in for good measure and celebrating with Hobbs.

We hear from Samoa Joe, who says that he has been a champion many times and that he knows when to be hungry and when to be satisfied. He says he has is now satisfied because he has been a champion everywhere he has been, but to be champion, he must be focused and he must regain that hunger.

Tony Schiavone interviews Adam Copeland in the ring. Copeland takes over on the microphone and says the AEW World Heavyweight Champion would look good around his waist and that there are a lot of first-time matches for him, and he thanks the fans for making it happen. He then says he is here is because he sat down with his family and asked if he should retire until his nine-year-old told him he "should go have fun with Uncle Jay," otherwise known as Christian Cage. Copeland then calls out Christian so he can tell him the real reason that he is here, and Christian shows up. Copeland says that he and Christian were friends before they were wrestlers, but it took wrestling for them to be best friends for life, then says he did what he did at WrestleDream because he stood over Sting, whose haircut he emulated and who has performed for four decades, as he was about to smash him with a Con-Chair-To. He also says he did it because Luchasaurus and Nick Wayne will drop him like a bad habit once they suck all the information from his brain and that he is so egotistical he will not see it coming. He then says "It's time." Copeland says it it time after over 20 years to team up again and show why they are one of the greatest tag teams of all time, then asks him to end their careers together as a team and show what they can do. Christian takes the microphone and hugs Edge, then says "Go fuck yourself" and leaves. Christian takes the microphone and hugs Copeland, then says "Go fuck yourself" and leaves.
