Fletcher says Hangman's sentiment is lovely, but says it does not matter, for while Hangman holds the title, The Don Callis Family runs AEW. He also mentions that he is awaiting an answer to his proposal. Hangman says Fletcher is lucky after what he did last week, and says that if he wants to speak to him, then he needs to get in the ring and look him in the eyes as he does it. Callis allows Fletcher to enter the ring, and Hangman tells Fletcher that he sees potential in him, yet he cannot put on his socks. He also admits that above all else, he sees himself six years ago standing across the ring from Chris Jericho hoping to be World Champion, but after last week, he is not ready. Fletcher says he has heard this all before and that he decides when his prime is, saying it begins right now and will continue for as long as he pleases. He says he is ready to be a World Champion right now. Hangman tells Fletcher that if he truly wants this, he will give him a shot at the AEW World Championship at All Out. At the same time, he must do it himself and earn it, leave Don Callis behind, and find some socks. Fletcher says he does not need anyone to beat him, and while it will be man-to-man at All Out, he will be leaving with the AEW World Championship and will not fail like Hangman has before.

At Moxley's behest, Garcia does it a second time before going for a ground and pound on Darby until Moxley and Shafir tell him to stop.
MJF heads to the ring to start tonight's show. He is soon joined by "Hangman" Adam Page. MJF says he has known Hangman for a long time and it has become clear to him that Hangman is most vulnerable when he is angry, and he plans to make him so angry that he loses the AEW World Championship on the first defense. MJF says Hangman is only standing because he does not feel like breaking him right now. Hangman slaps the microphone out of MJF's hand before getting tired of his "edgelord shit" and tells him that he will not defend unless MJF cashes in his Casino Gauntlet contract. He says that if MJF is not here to cash in his contract, then he can walk away and tell everyone he does not have the stomach to face him. MJF says that Hangman, not he, is the problem, as he is treated like he is perfect. He says that he has learned from getting beaten up for being just a little bit different that if God is all-knowing and all-powerful, he is not all good, and he will prove Hangman is nothing more than a fraud and "a weak-minded, alcoholic little boy." MJF also says that he would rather been seen as "the Devil" rather than a fake like Hangman, because at least he is real. He then says he will pull the wolf's sheep clothing and crucify the fan's God Hangman. Hangman says he understands the point MJF is trying to make, but nobody knows his faults more than he does, and as much as he has tried to look past them, he will not run from them like MJF would. He says that MJF talks about Forbidden Door as if he has a match even though he does not, yet he has a contract for the World Championship any time he wants, and he will not take his shot because he is afraid and he wants an insurance policy as he does not have what it takes. Hangman tells MJF that if he wants the fans' respect, then he should take his shot, and he should prove to the fans that he is more than "an insecure, gutless coward." MJF becomes incensed and announces he will execute his contract at Forbidden Door, then realizes what he has done before the fans chant "You fucked up!" Hangman tells MJF "I'll see you at Forbidden Door...dumbass." MJF is livid as Hangman leaves.
We hear from Jon Moxley, who tells Darby Allin that whatever he thinks is happening at Forbidden Door will not be happening.
Jon Moxley beats "The Jet" Kevin Knight by submission with an inverted triangle sleeper after getting the knees up for the UFO Splash.

Kevin Knight drop kicks Moxley from out of nowhere as Marina Shafir stares down Darby, and when Wheeler Yuta charges at Darby, Darby lays him out with the skateboard and puts him in the body bag as Shafir runs away. Darby then goes for a Coffin Drop on Yuta only to be stopped and clobbered by Claudio Castagnoli, who then frees Yuta from the body bag before putting Darby in it, spinning him around and throwing him down. Yuta then grabs a metal folding chair, then wraps Darby's head around it. Will Ospreay shows up before Claudio Castagnoli can do even more damage, and he takes out not only Claudio, but also Yuta. Moxley, Yuta, Claudio and Shafir retreat, but Will Ospreay says that in return for trying to snap his neck, he will snap Moxley's.
