Before the match, it is announced that Tony Schiavone will co-commentate the upcoming AEW Dark Elevation, which will air on Mondays on AEW's YouTube channel starting March 15th. After the match, Moxley says that from the moment he woke up in the morning without the AEW World Championship, he knew he would do whatever it took to get back to the top and take the hill. On the subject of the Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match against Kenny Omega, he asks what images come to mind and asks how the images make one feel before saying these images are why he is addicted to living close to the flame and the feeling of coming out to the ring and leaving his soul bare every night. Moxley says that these images are too attractive and pull him in, even if it some sort of trap laid by Kenny Omega. He says that Omega is not the first in a long line of sad guys to take him out, and win, lose or draw, everyone will know that he gave everything he had, and if it does come to an end at Revolution, then it will be a hell of a way to go out.
We see a video package chronicling the history and feud between Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega.
In footage from last week after Dynamite, Rey Fenix and Lance Archer are interviewed. Archer says that he is the reason why he and Rey Fenix made a killer tag team, and says that he will kick Rey Fenix's ass in the Face of the Revolution Ladder Match qualifier.

Sting and Darby Allin take out Starks and Cage as Taz checks on Hook, and Sting hits Cage with a Scorpion Death Drop.
In footage from earlier today, Tony Schiavone interviews "Superbad" Kip Sabian, Penelope Ford and Miro. Sabian calls the interview a joke, saying that Beach Break was supposed to be the greatest night of their lives until Orange Cassidy and Chuck Taylor destroyed the wedding. Miro says he will get to Cassidy and destroy him, and says that while Chuck Taylor is a nice guy, it will be different caving his head in. He tells Chuck to come back home and all can be forgiven, and as he does so, someone hands Schiavone a note from Chuck Taylor and Orange Cassidy asking if they will face them in a tag team match at Revolution. Miro calls the note "childish," tells Chuck Taylor to be a man and come back home before balling up the note, chewing on it and spitting it back at Schiavone.
Jake Hager beats Brandon Cutler. After the match, The Inner Circle show up and attack Cutler until The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) run into the ring and fight off The Inner Circle, sending them into a retreat. They then call out The Inner Circle, saying they do not have to wait until Revolution to settle things. The Inner Circle's music plays, but Chris Jericho and MJF show up on the video screen. Jericho says there is no reason to meet them face to face when they go at it at Revolution before revealing that he and MJF have attacked their father. As The Young Bucks run backstage, Jericho and MJF throw the Bucks' father into the truck before fleeing. Matt Jackson sees Jericho and MJF, who get away in an SUV.

We hear from Jon Moxley, who finds it hard to believe Kenny Omega being friends with two sets of tag team champions in The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) is going to work, as there is always drama between them. He also says Death Triangle (PAC, Penta El Zero M, Rey Fenix) do not like either team, much less him, and is surprised that they are no longer friends with Eddie Kingston and are now his tag team partners at Beach Break. Moxley says he is a simple guy who likes his beer cold, his coffee hot and his water at room temperature and likes to have sex in the morning because it is a good way to start the day, and that he only trusts his fists. He tells Penta and Fenix to buckle up for tag team warfare at Beach Break, and says it is going to be wild.
We hear from Darby Allin and Sting. Sting tells Team Taz that since they will be in a Street Fight with Team Taz ("The Machine" Brian Cage, "Absolute" Ricky Starks, Powerhouse Hobbs), who wants to throw false accusations at him and Darby, he takes offense to him and Darby being called "hoodlums" before saying Darby is a hoodlum. Darby says that in the streets, it does not matter how you play as long as you survive, then throws his skateboard throw a window before saying he is a hoodlum and no different than Sting, who breaks a few more windows with his black baseball bat.
Before the next match, MJF says he and Sammy Guevara have to talk after the match, then gives Griff Garrison the opportunity to quit so as not to be embarrassed again only to get punched in the face.

In footage from earlier today, Shaquille O'Neal tells "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes that if he wants a battle, all he has to do is name the time and place before proposing they can "do it in March."
Tony Schiavone interviews "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes and Arn Anderson in the ring. Cody says that he cannot involve Brandi Rhodes in a potential match at Revolution due to her pregnancy, then gives the floor to Arn Anderson, who he admits chewed him out for taking "Pretty Peter Avalon too lightly. Anderson says that Cody is about to be a father, which should be the most important thing of his life, then mentions Cody's father wrestle Tully Blanchard for thirty minutes before getting to the hospital in time to see Cody's birth. He then tells Cody to jump into Revolution with no regrets, and says that Shaquille O'Neal dominated basketball for nineteen years and that Jade Cargill has the power to dominate the nearby area. Anderson then brings out Red Velvet, who says that like Cody, she has fire. Red Velvet then says she is here tonight because she is fed up and tired of getting attacked and watching Brandi get disrespected by Jade Cargill. She says that Cody would never lay a hand on Jade, but she will, because she is Red Velvet and she is about to "stir [her] bitch ass up."
Miro, "Superbad" Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford cordially invite the fans to Sabian and Ford's wedding at Beach Break.

After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews both Matt and Page, and Matt says he wants to be in his corner and let him know that he supports him, as Page seems lost and conflicted and had a lot of love for The Elite. He says The Elite burned him and that he did not deserve this, and that Page is more conflicted due to The Dark Order trying to recruit him. He says Page is a good person and deserves to be happy, and tells him that he has a bigger dressing room bigger than the one adjacent to catering that Page can use, no questions asked.

Anderson says it is a full-blown Bullet Club party, and tonight, they take out The Dark Order. Gallows says that next week, they will beat up Rey Fenix, PAC and Jon Moxley. The Young Bucks say they are down for tonight's match as long as Don Callis is not involved. As Gallows says that taking out Penta El Zero M was Don's idea and The Young Bucks retort by saying they didn't need that, Kenny Omega shows up and shakes hands with The Good Brothers before talking with The Young Bucks.

Tony Schiavone interviews "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes in the ring. Before Cody can say anything, Sting shows up, and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson says he had to get a little closer to make sure this was real, then says that both Cody and Sting have agendas and that he will get out of the ring. Schiavone hands the microphone to Sting and prepares to leave, but Sting asks for a hug as it has been so many years since they last talked, and gives Schiavone kudos for helping him throughout his career and has him say "It's Sting!" one more time, which he does. Cody then welcomes Sting back after Schiavone leaves, then thanks him for the assist last week before saying he has waited to share a ring with him for a very long time. Sting says he is not here for him - at least, not right now - then says there is something really, really familiar about the arena before pointing at Darby Allin, who is sitting in one of the upper levels. He says that the animals are the same but different in a lot of ways, then says he is in a jungle and he has come full circle after showing up on TNT once again. Cody welcomes Sting back once again, then Sting says Cody knows what goes on in the arena but also knows that the only sure thing about him is that nothing is for sure. Sting then announces he is signed to AEW and plans to be close to the fans and the promotion for a long time, and that he plans to spend a lot of time in AEW.

We hear from Taz, who brags about Team Taz ("The Machine" Brian Cage, "Absolute" Ricky Starks, Powerhouse Hobbs) beating up "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes and Darby Allin before Sting came to the rescue. Ricky Starks tells Cody Rhodes to take a good look at Hook, who is treaining with Taz in the dojo now. Taz then says his men are always ready to beat somebody's ass.

Page, initially reluctant, tells him it is one and done and that he is not joining The Dark Order before saying he accepts.
"The Natural" Dustin Rhodes beats Preston "10" Vance. During the match, Aaron Solow grabs at 10 from the front row only to eat a pump kick. After the match, Evil Uno shows up with the rest of The Dark Order, and tells Dustin that while he cannot change their past, they can improve their future. He tells Dustin his name comes with pressure, as he is only "the third-most important Rhodes," then asks Dustin if he is ready to take his rightful place as "7." Dustin slaps Evil Uno in the face, and when The Dark Order rushes towards the ring, Evil Uno tells them to back up before telling Dustin he will come begging for it when he sees the light and understands what he understands.
Tony Schiavone interviews Brandi Rhodes and Shaquille O'Neal. Shaq says that he has seen Jade Cargill's recent appearance on Dynamite and admits he is a fan of hers, but that he did not appreciate what she did to Brandi's arm, which is now in a cast. Brandi says Cargill came to her house and talked down to her people, and that her reaction is the one to be expected when somebody does that. Brandi proposes that they can stop all this so nobody can get hurt, and Shaq says he would love to see that, and admits that while he and Cody are messing around, he knows it is serious between Jade Cargill and Brandi Rhodes. He then tells Brandi to watch Cargill, as she might get a few pointers from her. When Brandi asks if this is a joke, Shaq says he is serious, which leads to Brandi throwing water into Shaq's face before calling him "an overgrown asshole." The interview ends with a wet Shaq looking dead at the camera.
The Inner Circle shows up. Chris Jericho says this is a serious night for them, as this is the last night they could be in the ring together due to the ultimatum that he proposed last week where he either asked the group to come together better than before or split up forever. He says the group's behavior from last week was "embarrassing and sickening" and will never happen again, and after mentioning that everyone is angry with each other and that Santana is so irritated with everyone that he did not show up tonight. MJF tells The Inner Circle that he loves them all, then says he understands what is going on here and says he is the issue here because people think he wants to break up the group or take it over, but tells them that he wanted to join because he wanted to be part of the greatest faction in professional wrestling and create bonds that would never be broken. He says the ultimate broke him last week, but Sammy Guevara interrupts him and tells him to shut up. Jericho says they all watch Dynamite and that they know what he was doing with the towel last week, and while MJF says he had sweat on his brow, Ortiz says MJF and Wardlow are talented assets who are beneficial to the group, then says it is debatable if they are human beings, especially MJF, who he admits is "growing on [him] like a fungus." Ortiz then asks Guevara to shake MJF's hand, and says that while Jericho chose him, one does not always choose the hand they are dealt and that together, they can be a winning hand, then tells him to be the better man because he is better than MJF and he knows it. A reluctant Guevara says he will shake hands and says he trusts Jericho with everything, but tells both MJF and Jericho that he will quit The Inner Circle if anything else happens here. Jericho agrees, then Guevara shakes MJF's hand after telling Jericho he is serious. Jericho tells Guevara he appreciates him standing up for himself and appreciates what Ortiz has to say, then Jake Hager asks why Wardlow keeps staring at him. Wardlow says Jake has been staring at him, and both men admit they are creeping each other out. Jericho calls for an end to the staring war, with both men agreeing to it while saying that they can stop staring if they want to. Jericho then announces that The Inner Circle is on the same page and are agreeing grow and build and dominate AEW like they can, and has everyone put their hands in for a multi-man flip off after having to stop MJF from talking about having to beat up Orange Cassidy tonight.
Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Tully Blanchard. Wheeler takes full responsibility for costing FTR the tag team titles, but Blanchard tells him not to shoulder all the responsibilty, as he was not at ringside. Harwood says you can slap a bad-ass bumper sticker on a Dodge Stratus, but that does not make it a 1982 Ford Bronco. He then says they are still the baddest tag team on the planet and that the AEW World Tag Team Championships are still their goal.
Eddie Kingston, The Butcher and The Blade beat Lance Archer and The Lucha Bros. (Penta El Zero M and Rey Fenix) in a six-man tag match. Penta El Zero M is helped to the back by officials as Eddie Kingston points and laughs at him after being put through a table with a vertical suplex by The Butcher early in the match. After the match, Lance Archer single-handedly attacks the winning team, and when The Blade tries to save Eddie Kingston, he is laid out and has to be saved by The Butcher.

Backstage, Dasha Gonzalez interviews Chris Jericho. Jericho says The Inner Circle is on the same page, and because of their solidarity, they will join MJF and Wardlow at ringside tonight to ensure and guarantee MJF beats Orange Cassidy and retains the Dynamite Diamond Ring.
We see Kenny Omega and Don Callis arrive to the arena by helicopter. As Alex Marvez interviews them, Callis tells Marvez they can wait and watch them in the ring like everyone else before showing up in the ring to be interviewed by Tony Schiavone, who shows his disgust over what happened last week. Callis says he and Tony Khan are upset like the fans, and welcomes Tony Khan to the wrestling business before saying that last week was not a screwjob and that he and Omega did the unthinkable and appeared on Impact Wrestling last night. He says that he has watched Omega since he was a kid grow into a world champion like an invisible hand, and says that they have made history with the match with Chris Jericho at the Tokyo Dome and says that without them, Tony Khan would not have created AEW. Omega says he and Callis waited for over a year and bided their time for this moment, and says that they have pulled this off more successfully than anyone else. He says that all other achivements pale in comparison to the AEW World Championship, which he calls the most prestigious prize in wrestling before calling last week's match "a performance" and "fine art" and saying that the fans fell for it all hook, line and sinker. He then says that they needed Jon Moxley to buy into it, and says that while Moxley hurt him, he does not have the intelligence, then says more is coming. Callis stops Omega, saying "they're not ready for it," then says some people make matches and others make money while they make history before Omega bids adieu.
Next week: "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes vs. Angelico! "Hangman" Adam Page, Alex "3" Reynolds and John "4" Silver vs. Matt Hardy and Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy)! The Acclaimed (Max Caster and Anthony Bowen) vs. SoCal Uncensored ("The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian)! Serena Deeb and Big Swole vs. Ivelisse and Diamante!
MJF beats Orange Cassidy to retain the Dynamite Diamond Ring. During the match, Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent) bring out other tag teams from the locker room to root Orange Cassidy on. When Wardlow puts MJF's foot on the rope during a pinfall, this causes a brawl between The Inner Circle and the other tag teams that distracts the referee. As this goes on, Miro attacks Cassidy with a clothesline, allowing MJF to get the win.
