During the match, Knight shoves Darby into referee Paul Turner, knocking Turner out when the back of Turner's head hits the ropes.

After the match, "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada make their way to the ring for the next match.

Renee Paquette interviews The Don Callis Family in the ring. Mark Davis says the only way he has a match on Sunday is if Andrade el Idolo can peel himself off the pavement where he left him. "The Jet" Kevin Knight says he will become "Jet Two Belts" at Redemption after breaking Darby Allin and a defense record once held by Kyle Fletcher. He also says he did it without the family. Fletcher hopes that Knight becomes a double champion, then says he does not need the help of the family to defend his title, either. He then says he will prove it by talking to Tony Khan and ensuring everyone is banned from ringside in his match with Bandido on Sunday. Fletcher says that everyone is also banned from ringside right now when he and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada wrestle Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) next. The family heads to the back, while Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

Thekla is briefly accompanied by Julia Hart and Skye Blue. Thekla announces that Triangle of Madness (Julia, Skye, Thekla) are Artist of Stardom Champions before Willow is introduced. Willow says it is nice to see Thekla face-to-face as opposed to being hit from behind with a cheap shot, and Thekla says that Willow's positivity is a facade and that she is "poisoned inside." Thekla says that she will beat the poison out of Willow and expose how ugly she really is, but Willow says that Thekla's toxicity is a facade and that Thekla talks big because she feels so small. Willow says that Thekla's swagger has made her a double champion, but the AEW World Women's Championship is all she cares about and that Thekla is a shortcut for her to get to it. Mick Foley admits that he sees himself in Willow, and Thekla tells Mick Foley to shut up before Willow tells her that she is "acting like a dumb bitch now" before acknowledges the similarities between her and Mick Foley. She says that she is capable of doing sick and twisted things to become champion and that she will make sure she walks out of Redemption as champion. Thekla is impressed, and tells Willow to smile anyway once she has her beaten before hitting her with one of her gloves. Mick Foley gets between Thekla and Willow, but that does not stop Thekla from hitting Willow in the face with a microphone. She then takes off her leather belt, but Willow hits Thekla with the belt before she can strike.

Connors and Finlay are forced to retreat.

Backstage, we hear from Adam Copeland and Christian Cage. They are soon attacked by PAC and Claudio Castagnoli, and PAC curb stomps Copeland into a road crate before saying that challenging them to a tag team title match is not wise. PAC tells Copeland and Christian that they have bitten off way more than they can chew, and that on Sunday, he and Claudio will show who are they are and what The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, PAC, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) are capable of.

MJF and Kenny Omega head to the ring for their contract signing. MJF signs the contract first, then passes it off to Kenny Omega, who does the same. MJF compliments Omega's signature, then Omega stops him, saying that he knows what MJF is going to do and that it will not work this time and go the way that he has planned. Omega says that everyone is here to watch the best wrestle, not to see MJF, and that everyone stood behind him because they wanted to see something better than MJF. He also admits he may be the god of professional wrestler if he is the antithesis to MJF and that he will be the one to strike MJF and ensure he never becomes World Champion again. MJF says he could sit and talk about how Omega's bones are aging as fast as Canadian bagged milk or how Kota Ibushi is one strong gust away from retirement, but that would be too easy, and he wants to talk about what Omega doesn't: Omega's sudden want for the world title. MJF mentions that Omega's diverticulitis is to the point that Omega's organs can explode any time, any point, anywhere. He says that Omega's time is on a fast, winding clock to cement his legacy, and when he is done, his fans will be embarassed of him. MJF says that Omega's fans will realize that Omega is nothing more than a false idol who is better off dead. Omega topples the table, then "Speedball" Mike Bailey stops Omega and says MJF is trying to get Omega to strike him to get out of defending the AEW World Championship. He calls MJF a coward and says he should be thanking Omega, stating that with no Omega, there is no MJF. Speedball says that respect is earned and that Omega is a respectable living legend while MJF is only a living legend in his own mind, and that some of MJF's ego would be lessened if he kicked him in the head in the finest country of Earth. Omega says that while his organs are not what they used to be and while he is missing 24 inches of intestines, he would rather miss those than miss his balls. MJF accepts Speedball's challenge, but warns Speedball that he will make an example out of him before calling Canada a dump and proclaiming that the United States is all that matters. He tells Speedball that he is not wrestling the usual MJF, but an American hero.

Kenny Omega, Brody King and "Jungle" Jack Perry beat The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) in a trios match.

Claudio Castagnoli shows up to wrap the chair around Ospreay's head, and Moxley stops Claudio from stomping the chair to speak to Ospreay. Moxley asks Ospreay how he thought this would go, and asks if either he of Ospreay put Ospreay in this position before advising Ospreay to use his head next time or lose it permanently. Moxley says this is not personal for him, and tells Ospreay not to make it personal.

The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) and Mina Shirakawa beat Triangle of Madness (Julia Hart, Skye Blue, "The Toxic Spider" Thekla) after Jamie Hayter stops Thekla from using brass knuckles during the match.

Darby Allin heads to the ring and calls out MJF. He says that MJF is playing games with The Don Callis Family because he is scared and knows that he is willing to die for the AEW World Championship. He says that he does not care who beats MJF as long as someone ends his world title run. Darby calls out MJF, but gets The Don Callis Family, and Callis says MJF has paid his family a lot of money and has asked him to deliver a message. MJF has stated that if Darby can defeat a hand-picked member of The Don Callis Family, he will grant Darby a title shot after he beats Kenny Omega. Callis picks Andrade to face Darby, then sics his family on Darby, saying MJF paid him to do that as well. Lance Archer gets smacked with a skateboard, and Brody King and "Jungle" Jack Perry show up to help Darby out. All three men then stare each other down, then Kenny Omega shows up. Darby says something to Omega on his way out, then Omega high-fives the fans in the front row before guesting on commentary for the next match.

Moxley says Ospreay was put in time out for a reason, but Ospreay will not get it. He hopes Ospreay will stay out of trouble, but he knows Ospreay will end up back in the hospital. PAC, who is in the background, says he was not there when Ospreay was injured, then admits they have never gotten on and that he always knew Ospreay was "a prick."

She says that whatever happened to "Timeless" Toni Storm is a real tragedy, then breaks out into laughter and says she had everything to do with it. She says that Toni wanted her title back, and while she is timeless, she is not toxic, and she took herself out after seeing what happened to Kris Statlander because she could not handle her. Thekla says the Women's World Championship is nobody's title but hers, and tells the rest of the locker room to fake their own deaths, as the reality is so much worse.

Speedball reminds Fletcher that he beat him in the Continental Classic while Knight did the same to Okada. Knight says that "the math isn't really mathin'" with Protokada, but Okada says they have yet to beat them as a team. Knight likes the idea of a tag team contest, and states that he would love to defend the AEW World Championship against Okada after he beats MJF next week.
