He says that despite the year he has had, Hangman is still hellbent on coming after him, as despite how good Hangman is supposed to be, he has always been ahead of him. He says that his 5-0 record means Hangman does not have a leg to stand on, and he hopes that Hangman is rehabbing his knee and planning to hang him over the top rope with a leather belt until someone stops him before telling Hangman he had better not miss, as one mistake will cost him so much. Jay White then gives Hangman one more chance at redemption, and challenges him to a match at Full Gear.

He tells MJF to find a woman who will care about him for more than a year, have a child and buy a house, then reminds him that when he picks up his child, he will feel a tingle in his neck move its way down and he will think about him.

He says that if he could not be the one to take the AEW World Championship from him, he would be the one to make it slip through the fingers, and inside a steel cage, he will take Swerve's pride and dignity, and Swerve will be begging for mercy and pleading for forgiveness when he will refuse to.

Dustin says that he is on a high and feels confident, and that he wants more. Suddenly, Evil Uno shows up and asks Dustin if he has had enough after five decades, as he has robbed The Dark Order (Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds, John Silver) of the Six-Man titles. He then bashes the Texan fans for smacking the microphone out of his hands, and while he respects what Dustin has done, Dustin only wants more because of his family name, and he does not care about his or the Von Erich's family names. Evil Uno says he has been here every single week working his ass off, then calls Dustin the most selfish individual in professional wrestling, saying he has taken something away from him that he has worked day in and day out that he has worked for for The Dark Order, and if Dustin will take something away, then he will take Dustin's last ride from him. Dustin is attacked from behind by John Silver and Alex Reynolds while Evil Uno, but all of a sudden, Sammy Guevara suddenly shows up and single-handedly fights off The Dark Order. Reynolds and Silver soon retreat, and Evil Uno says Guevara is just as selfish and that "Dark Order is Ring of Honor, not [Guevara]."

O'Reilly says he appreciates the support, but Roddy tells him not to forgot what he said when he came back.
Kris Statlander beats Robyn Renegade. After the match, Stokely Hathaway says Kris Statlander is an inspiration and his muse, and wishes he had the strength, speed, intensity, and the ability to decimate a division with the snap of a finger of Kris Statlander. He then mentions that he has spoken with Tony Khan and for the first time, they were on the same page, as he said that Kris Statlander is the past, present and future of AEW and will win both of AEW's women's titles.

He then tells Perry that he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has never worked a day in his life, and recalls Dusty Rhodes' "Hard Times" promo as he says that Perry "ain't sacrificed shit," unlike himself. He remembers seeing Jack Perry as a young kid, but knows him now as a young brat, and says Perry is only mediocre because he is a follower and not a leader, and when one is a follower, the view never changes. Dustin then says he and Perry have a match this Wednesday on Dynamite, and tells Perry that he is going to destroy "[his] little punk ass," as he knows Perry cannot beat him fair and square.

Shane Taylor says the past is history, that Moriarty is now part of the baddest fight team in AEW, and that Top Flight and Andretti cannot outwrestle them, as Andretti is the only one with heart and all of them are overgrown stuntmen.

Perry says that as the greatest FTW Champion who ever lived, he felt he had the responsibility to say a few nice words about the title, saying it was a good title with its ups and downs that was misunderstood at times, and yet it has grown near and dear to his heart, for when people look up the FTW Championship in 100 years, they will find his face next to it.
