They also like the fact that they and Swerve will be walking out as the AEW World Trios Champions, then Brody King shows up angry wanting to know where Bandido is. Creed says he has no clue, and Hangman has to show up and calm Brody down.

Prince Nana shows up and points at the video screen, which shows Swerve Strickland with Bandido's mask in his hand.

The Clockwork Carnage Match for the AEW World Championship at WrestleDream is explained by Renee Paquette. The first phase is the entry phase. Two wrestlers start the match at random, and every three minutes, another wrestler enters until all eight wrestlers have entered. If anyone is pinned and submitted before all eight wrestlers have entered, they are eliminated from the match. After all eight wrestlers enter, phase two begins. Phase two is the scoring phase, a fifteen-minute timer begins. Every successful pinfall and/or submission earns a wrestler one point, and whoever has the most points wins. It is possible to pin the champion and not win the match, and it is also possible to be the champion and lose the title without being pinned.

Jericho says he is not mad at Nick Wayne and that he has to hit a cheap shot to succeed in the business, then feigns going low again as he states he could do it right now but will not. Jericho notes their similar young starts in the business and how Nick Wayne is "an egotistical son of a bitch" like he used to be, then talks about how he was on the same show as Nick Bockwinkel. Bockwinkel noted that Jericho worked too fast and did too many moves, and asks what would have happened if he did not ignore his advice and did not act like an arrogant prick. Nick Wayne says that this is not about a necklace and all about being beaten by Jericho, saying Jericho will not beat him again, as wrestling is all he has ever known and all Jericho has taught him is that he must change who he is to beat him. Nick Wayne then challenges Chris Jericho to a rematch at Grand Slam France in less than two weeks' time, and hopes that the man who knows more wins. This leads to a staredown where Jericho tells Nick Wayne is not a man, but a kid that he will get "the shit kicked out of him" again.

Backstage, we hear from Jon Moxley, who says he can apologize for what he did to Francesco Akira, but that would rob Will Ospreay of his responsibility, which would be unfair to him. He says that Ospreay has chose his side of the line and that everything is Ospreay's responsibility, and that it is all about the two of them. Moxley says that his problem with the match is that he is going to win, and that everything Ospreay did will be for nothing and lead to an even longer fall. He says he does not know if Ospreay has what it takes to do it all again, since Ospreay took everything he had and everything he needed. Moxley says he has been at the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, and he has climbed back up every single day and that nobody understands the cliff Ospreay will fall from at All Out, where he says that Ospreay will be introduced to the pull of gravity.

He says that Borden may be new to this, but Borden will not run away from this, and they will both be going into the fire. Borden admits that he is new to all of this, but he will lay all that he has to offer on the line to ensure Darby is a tag team champion again. If they can do that, he can check off two boxes: being tag team champion and being a champion with Darby. He says they will take the #1 contender stop and the tag team titles.

Kevin Knight says he likes the vision, and that while he and Kyle Fletcher have had pretty good success despite not exactly showing interest in being tag team partners, they have never held tag team gold. Fletcher agrees and says that while he and Knight had a rocky start, he is on board with this, then says that Darby Allin and Steven Borden will be a cakewalk. When Fletcher brings up Okada's loss, Okada tells Tommaso Ciampa to be careful what he wishes for, for if he wants "The Rainmaker," he will get him, but he will not get his title.

Francisco Akira suddenly shows up and is surrounded by The Death Riders, and Wheeler Yuta is out in the ring at this point. Akira holds his own, but the numbers game takes over. Suddenly, "Speedball" Mike Bailey shows up with a metal folding chair before the next match, and The Death Riders clear the ring.

Omega says this is his Death Ground, and if he goes out, he goes out guns blazing. Omega then heads to the ring and talks about how he has been part of professional wrestling for more than half his life and giving the people everything that he has in the ring. He says he has won titles and set records that could never be broken again and has had a career that can be looked upon fondly, but there is a selfish part of him that knows that it is not enough and that there is a little bit more in the tank. Omega says that if everyone else can believe just one more time, then he knows he can be a champion everyone can be part of and stand on the greatest stage in Wembley Stadium and represent All Elite Wrestling against Will Ospreay. He says that the cost that MJF wants him to make is not too high, and mentions that MJF has anticipated the possibility that he is "the god of professional wrestling" that he has been known to be. Omega says that having one more chance to beat the brakes off MJF while he is still healthy puts a fire in him, and that he not only accepts MJF's challenge, he demands that MJF brings what is his. All of a sudden, Omega is attacked from behind by MJF, and Omega fights back until officials and security rush in to separate both men. MJF manages to get out of the ring as the show ends.
