He then has to tell Lashley to stand down, then tells Archer to take himself and The Hurt Syndicate more seriously.

Lexy Nair oversees a weigh-in between QT Marshall and Big Boom AJ before their match on Zero Hour at Full Gear.

AJ says that Marshall has been waiting twenty years to get him in the ring, but he has been waiting since he tossed the double chunk chocolate cookies, then proclaims that he wants The Rizzler to ring the bell when he beats him. The weigh-in then begins. QT Marshall weighs in at 229 lbs., while Big Boom AJ weighs in at 550 lbs. As Marshall mocks AJ, Big Justice immediately notes that Marshall rigged the scale, but the scale will not matter when AJ brings the boom Saturday night.

Thunder Rosa sees right through this, mentioning that she beat her in the Day of the Dead Match a few weeks ago, but Harley insists Thunder Rosa does not know what she is talking about.

Purrazzo says that she was born three minutes before her twin brother, and almost in that exact moment, she knew she was her brother's keeper. She says he has had his issues and demons that she will never understand, but if he made a mistake, she fixed it, and if someone came for him, she handled it. Because of that, she learned at a very young age two very valuable lessons: to take care of the people closest to you and that if you want to hurt somebody, you don't go at them directly; you take out who they love most. Purrazzo says that what makes her most angry is when someone comes for what is hers.

When it comes time for the official photographs, Swerve and Ospreay have an intense staredown and war of words, then Ospreay says he will knock the grills out of Swerve's mouth when he starts a new era. Swerve says all the pressure is on Ospreay, not him, and that he is the one on another level and the one who has been a world champion. He says he handles his business like a champion, then mentions his wife only to get piefaced.

After the video package, Mercedes says she did know who to come back, but knew that she had to come back, as major setbacks lead to major comebacks. She says she is here not to lead a women's revolution, but a women's global revolution. She also makes it clear that she has business with Willow Nightingale, and says that anybody, including Julia Hart and Skye Blue, who gets in her business will end up bankrupt, as a price will be paid if anyone messes with her.

Ospreay says he was "a little bit of a naughty boy" last time he was here, but he has changed and is here for the betterment of AEW, and apologizes to Canada for what he did last time.

Ospreay says he had said everything he needed to say about "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson until he saw Danielson's match with Katsuyori Shibata, which he highly praises, and says he hopes everyone studies it. He then mentions Danielson stating he was grateful to face him, yet stating that he could not walk a mile in Danielson's shoes, and says he could not wear Danielson's shoes because they were too small for him. Ospreay says that what Danielson did in Japan was great, but what he did in Japan elevated professional wrestling alongside all of his accomplishments.

During the match, it is announced that due to the beginning of the NCAA tournament on TNT, Collision will not air this week and will return next week at its regular time. After the match, Swerve addresses Samoa Joe, admitting he had nothing but utmost respect for him before he met him, then states that he became more indifferent as he got to know him, then started to not like him and become very close to hating him. He says that he thinks around choking Joe out and hanging his head on the ring post, then says he does not have enough chain to do all that. He also says that if Joe keeps sending out security, then he will keep beating them up and going after him until Joe gives him what he wants. Samoa Joe shows up and says he has already beaten Swerve and shoved him down the championship ladder, and says Swerve's belief that the impossible can be possible is a major problem, as it makes him think that if he stands up to him, he can box with a god. Joe says this kind of belief can be contagious and that the fans will start thinking that they can be great and become a champion, too, and says that this is fine and dandy until someone like him shows up and takes everything. Joe then says he knows what to do with someone like Swerve, and it is to give Swerve what he wants. Suddenly, Don Callis shows up and states that it strikes him that Swerve can just book himself into a title match and that Swerve and "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita have the same amount of wins, with the only difference beting that Takeshita is undefeated outside of his own family. He then says that Takeshita should make Swerve taste what it feels like to lose within his family, then says AEW is his family's house, not Swerve's. Swerve says that if he had more time and less distractions, he would burn The Don Callis Family tree down to a crisp, then says he will take down Takeshita before coming after Joe again.

After Copeland takes down Nick Wayen and Killswitch from the top of a ladder, Garcia and Copeland handcuff both men to the corners of the ring with their hands behind their backs, restraining them. Mama Wayne runs away as soon as she is surrounded and Copeland presents a pair of handcuffs, which leads to a three-on-one gang-up on Christian Cage before he too is restrained to a corner with a pair of handcuffs. Copeland then produces Spike from underneath the ring, and he kicks Christian in the groin multiple times before hitting him in the groin with Spike.

"Jungle Boy" Jack Perry beats Matt Hardy after Hook shows up and fights "All Ego" Ethan Page for getting involved in the match on more than one occasion, taking their brawl to the back. He then says that Jungle Boy's career ended up being mid and yet he still left it all out in the ring all for the fans, who never said "thank you" to him, and never got much in the way of TV time, and says Jungle Boy should be mad at himself. He says that after their match in which they stole the show, MJF went to the back and felt he had met his equal in the ring, a man he would wage war with for the rest of his life and a man he respected, and he shook Jungle Boy's hand. Jungle Bly brings up MJF telling him that night after the match that nice guys finished last and to only care about himself if he wanted to succeed, and MJF says Jungle Boy continued to hang out with Jungle Express, who he says held him back. After stating that Hook will be no different, MJF tells Jungle Boy that they could have run AEW and that this could have also been "The Jack Perry Show," but he had to be the good guy for the fans and it got him nowhere while he is the best in the world. MJF says that he has wrestling's greatest prize in "The Triple B" while Jack Perry is "still Jungle Boy," then Jack Perry says he wishes they could be the best of friends and that he could be more like him before wishing he didn't care about being "a narcissistic piece of shit" who stabbed people in the back. He then says that is not him and that he will do things his way, and when he becomes AEW World Champion, he will not wake up and hate the person he sees in the mirror. MJF sarcastically congratulates Jack Perry for taking four years to learn how to talk, and while they could have been the best of friends, Jack Perry has been "a massive disappointment" as he is weak in body, mind, heart and soul. After MJF says he went up to his fiancée Anna Jay A.S. and found out from her that he is "weak between the knees," Jack Perry attacks MJF, starting a brawl.

Before Page can shake his hands, The Blackpool Combat Club attack him, then Moxley punches Callis out and busts his forehead open in the process.

After the match, The Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli, Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta) surround the ring, then "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson shows up for the first time since his loss to MJF at Revolution and chews out The Blackpool Combat Club for what they are doing. He tells all three men to get off the apron as he confronts them for their conduct, then offers his hand to Kenny Omega. Omega goes after Yuta, then Danielson hits him with the Busaiku Knee before putting him in the Lebell Lock.

"All Ego" Ethan Page says nobody came to hear Sammy and that he isn't getting twelve switches in the face is because of Lambert, who says youth is wasted on the young and that Sammy Guevara is the perfect example of that quote. He tells Sammy to give Scorpio Sky his rematch or else The Men of the Year will give him a pounding his girlfriend only dreams about. Sammy says he only cares about a match, not Lambert or his dead grandpa, and says he will give the match if they get their mixed tag match. Lambert tells Sammy to consider it done.
