A Mercedes-Maybach rolls into the arena, and the passenger side door opens.

Mercedes Moné heads to the ring. Mercedes says that she is home, then thanks the fans for having her back for the past two years, giving her the courage and the strength to be here and sticking with her throughout her highs and lows. She says that she and the fans will be creating so many moments together, as the fans are the reason why she is here. Mercedes says that if the fans only knew how much tonight and how much wrestling means to her, as wrestling has changed and it has changed her life, giving her hopes, a place to dream and a place to believe she could do this one day. She says her dreams, which started when she was only ten, let her lead a women's revolution and main event a pay-per-view in tonight's venue. She also talks about how she had to drop out at thirteen to take care of her brother Joshua. Mercedes then mentions how her dreams took her to the New England-area independent wrestling company Chaotic Wrestling at eighteen and on the road to becoming one of the greatest of all time, and says that if she can do it, the fans can, too. She then says she is here in AEW because she both wants and needs to be here, as it is the only place where this revolution can be global, and that she and the fans will make that happen. Mercedes says she has been watching every week and that she cannot wait to tear it up with the women's division, then addresses Willow Nightingale vs. Riho, saying she and Willow have a lot of unfinished business. As for tonight, she is officially All Elite. A graphic stating that Mercedes Moné is All Elite is shown on the video screen, then Mercedes thanks Tony Khan and the fans before telling them to say hello to their new CEO.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Samoa Joe. Samoa Joe says tonight feels a little different, but Wardlow does not, as he sent forth by lesser men for crimes that he may or may not have committed. He says that he has not forgotten their last match and what debts need to be paid, and that Wardlow is far overdue. Joe says he will take no quarter and that he does not lose champonships "in the Garden."

We hear from Adam Cole, who reads from a book. Adam Cole says that once upon a time, there was a warrior called Wardlow who was deceived and lied to, and guarded by an evil man and true devil named MJF, and his destiny was to be the king he always could be. He says that Wardlow has gold, but he needed a kingdom who understood him, and now that Wardlow has that kingdom, the AEW World Championship will be brought to the kingdom and the kingdom will remain whole.

Samoa Joe retains the AEW World Championship against Wardlow by submission after countering the Powerbomb Symphony with a back body drop and locks in the Coaquina Clutch. After the match, Swerve Strickland fights off security with a chain as he makes his way to the ring, and Joe slides out of the ring and heads to the back.

In footage from earlier today, Alex Marvez interviews The Elite (Matthew Jackson, Nicholas Jackson, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada). Nicholas demands Marvez call Okada '"The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada,' then Matthew states that they and Okada have had a great 14-year friendship and have helped each other out greatly during their careers, which is why Okada is a part of The Elite. Okada tells Penta el Zero Miedo, PAC and Eddie Kingston that he is coming for them, then demands Marvez sing "Happy Birthday" to Matthew.

Tony Schiavone interviews Will Ospreay in the ring. Ospreay says that his match with "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson means so much to him, as he has always wanted to do what Danielson has done throughout his career, as he always left it in the ring for the fans. He says that he is glad that Danielson is a fan of his work and has asked him to prove that he is the best in the world, and after his match with Kenny Omega, everyone was talking about the Tiger Driver '91. He says that beating Omega was worth it even as blood streamed from his head, and while he respects Danielson, their match means a lot to him and the fans, as he is not only here to "restore the feeling," he is the feeling. Ospreay says their match will remind the fans what All Elite Wrestling is, as the best in the world meets the best of the 21st century and only one will come out the winner. He says he can have respect for his opponent, when he is in the ring, it is his life or theirs, and he does not plan on dying. Ospreay then says that Dynasty will be about who the best wrestler is, and that he is on another level.

We hear from "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo, who says that is not over between her and "Timeless" Toni Storm. She says that if Toni wants to play the numbers game, then she has no problem finding a tag team partner. She also says she and her partner will be paying attention to Toni's tag team match on Rampage, then tells Toni to watch for the shoe because the shoe is going straight up her ass.

"Switchblade" Jay White beats Darby Allin when Darby gets back in the ring to beat the ten count only to slide right into Blade Runner. After the match, Jay White offers his hand, but does the "Bang Bang" hand sign instead and has The Gunns attack him insted. The Gunns wrap a chair around Darby's left leg, and Jay White is about to swing down the baseball bat when The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn) show up and stop them. Max Caster and Anthony Bowens help Darby out of the ring as "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn talks sense into Jay White, takes the baseball bat away from him and turns around only for Jay White to smack him with a metal folding chair. Caster and Bowens run back into the ring only to be laid out by The Gunns, who use the Ring of Honor World Six-Man Tag belts as weapons before Jay White hits Billy Gunn with Blade Runner. The Gunns and Jay White then get Darby Allin back in the ring, wrap the chair around Darby's left leg and smash the baseball bat into the chair to injure Darby.

"Lionheart" Chris Jericho and Hook beat Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona) with Redrum from Hook to Kaun. As this happens, Jericho briefly locks in the Lion Tamer on Kaun while Hook has Redrum locked in, and lets go of the hold to drop kick Toa Liona off the ring apron. Hook eventually makes Kaun tap for the win.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Kyle O'Reilly. O'Reilly says worrying about not being able to wrestle again for two years is now the least of his worries. He says the AEW landscape has changed and that he wonders if he can still hang, then says "The Outlaw" Brian Myers can bring out "the real Kyle O'Reilly."

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita, Don Callis and Powerhouse Hobbs. Don Callis says they are victims of their own success as nobody wants to wrestle Takeshita or Hobbs. He says he has all the talent with Revolution coming up and that they need to be on the pay-per-view. Callis says that he is looking in the family, and is pitting Takeshita against Will Ospreay for a match that people will talk about for years to come.

Adam Copeland vs. Daniel Garcia ends in a no-contest after Killswitch and "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne attack Copeland. Shayna Wayne and "The Patriarch" Christian Cage soon show up, and Christian pulls a few chairs out from underneath the ring. "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard grabs one of the chairs and confronts Christian, but he is clubbed from behind by Killswitch. Killswitch his Daniel Garcia with a chokeslam, then Nick Wayne and Christian Cage ready Garcia for a Con-Chair-To before Copeland fends them all off with a chair of his own. As Christian begs Copeland off in the corner, Shayna Wayne gets behind Copeland and hits him with a low blow. Wayne hits Copeland with Wayne's World, and Killswitch hits Copeland with the Extinction. Christian Cage then readies Adam Copeland for the Con-Chair-To and hits Copeland in the back of the head and neck. Christian Cage kisses the TNT Championship as The Patriarchy (Christian, Killswitch, Nick Wayne, Shayna Wayne) leaves the ring and Garcia checks on Copeland.

It is announced that Adam Copeland has been able to walk to the back, where he is currently being evaluated.

Samoa Joe heads to the ring. Joe says he comes with a spirit of apology, as his becoming champion brought back a ranking system and everything had been going well until Swerve Strickland and "Hangman" Adam Page battled tooth and nail for 30 minutes last week to a draw. He says the championship committee "took a page out of the Texas playbook" and made his championship match bigger and dumber, and now he finds himself in a three-way match. Joe says a crime has been committed against him and must be remediated, and guarantees he will hurt at least one of his challengers and leave them both limping out of the ring. Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana show up, and Swerve says that this was not supposed to be personal, but Joe ran his mouth. He also says Samoa Joe brought his resume and not his reputation, and that hunger makes a champion and that he himself is about to become the greatest champion of all time. Swerve says that nobody outgrinds him and demands Samoa Joe look at his resume and put respect on his name, and says he has gone toe-to-toe with champions and legends and made AEW his house. Swerve says that at Revolution, nothing changes except for the fact that he will hold the World Championship over his head. "Hangman" Adam Page shows up and says he is not mad about last week's match before saying last week's match was "horseshit," as he signed a contract to a match to decide a #1 contender and Swerve could not beat him. He says that if it were up to him, the championship match would be between two men who respect and value what the World Championship stands for, but Swerve has been added to the match. Hangman tells Swerve that after everything he has done to him, he does not deserve one second of his time, much less five more minutes, because he could not get the job done, and he does not deserve to be in the match. Samoa Joe says "this walking domestic dispute" ends tonight, and as far as Swerve and Hangman are concerned, he is whipping both of their asses.

We see the premiere of "Timeless" Toni Storm's new film, "Wet Ink," where Toni Storm talks about her history with "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo and how she got her into the wrestling world. She says that Deonna has forgotten who she is, and tells her that if she wants the old Toni, she will get that and so much more. She says that when one cannot change the past, you kill it. Meanwhile, a tattoo artist draws a dagger around her ankle tattoo. Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Deonna Purrazzo, who says that Toni Storm talks too much and that she will break her arm.

The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) beat Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) after Matthew hits Darius with a low blow while Nicholas distracts referee Rick Knox. After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews The Young Bucks in the ring. Matthew says they are undefeated this year, making them the top unbeatable tag team in AEW. He says that Top Flight are a great team, but after beating them, they are number one contenders. When Schiavone calls their attack on Sting "despicable," Matthew calls this a breach of contract for disparagement of the Executive Vice Presidents as well as a $1,000 fine before Nicholas shoulder barges Schiavone. Matthew says Nicholas is being a hothead, and helps him up while telling him not to let it happen again. As The Young Bucks are about to hit Schiavone with an EVP-Trigger, Darby Allin chases them out of the ring with a baseball bat. Darby Allin says AEW's mission statement was to change the world and calls The Young Bucks out for seeing nothing in him and hiring all of their "shit friends" first, and is thankful that there was an EVP with brains at the time (a reference to "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes) and it was not Kenny Omega. Darby then mentions The Young Bucks praising their schedule and the money they are making as reasons for their re-signing with AEW, and says AEW's mission statement is dead and that this is "All Friendship Wrestling." Darby tells The Young Bucks have no idea what they are getting into trying to be the opponents for Sting's final match and that Sting has nothing left to lose, then says it is showtime.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Bang Bang Scissor Gang. "Switchblade" Jay White says they have momentum, championship gold and new merchandise, but they have yet to test their cohesiveness.

Ricky Starks says Sting has had quite the journey and that it all started when he beat him at Revolution 2021, and says that this does not sit well as he demands respect. Darby says Starks knows nothing about respect and that Sting's career is not a stepping stone. Starks says that he and Big Bill will stay tag team champions and that Sting will not make it to retirement, and Big Bill says Darby and Sting have done nothing but talk and have overlooked them. Sting says he admired something about Starks two years ago when he the only one brave enough to talk smack to him, but tells him he must earn respect.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for January 24, 2024

Samoa Joe heads to the ring. Joe says tonight is a night of celebration due to a new championship endeavor, as opportunities must be earned, not given. He says AEW wrestlers will battle tooth and nail for a shot at his gold. He says that the opportunity at a championship will also be the opportunity for the worst night of one's night when he does to them what he did to Hook last week: beat them down unmerciful, choke them out unconscious and take everything from them. Hook shows up and tells Joe that he lost and Joe won, then both men shake hands. Hook says he does not know when or where, but he will see him again. Joe agrees, then tells him to get to the back of line and sics security on him to get him out of the ring.

Renee Paquette hosts a face-to-face meeting between "The Virtuousa" Deonna Purrazzo and "Timeless" Toni Storm on the stage. Toni's half of the stage is in black-and-white and at reduced framer per second during the meeting. Toni mentions Deonna Purrazzo's recent body shaming, which she says is ridiculous as there is more to shame about her. She says they have history, but that does not mean she can use their past friendship to get a title shot. She says that she has had a lot of friends, all less talented than her, and while Deonna may be the best technical wrestling in the world today, she will twist her lips so hard she will need an epidural if she steps in the ring with her. Deonna says she is here to win gold, make friends, and that she will do it arm by arm. She says that the "delusional sham" she is looking at is not the Toni Storm she wants to face; she wants to face and beat the one who slept on dojo floors for the women's world title. She tells her to reach down and find that Toni, then tells her to look down at her ankle, as it looks a lot like hers. It is revealed that they both have identical tattooes on their ankles, then Deonna says Toni does not have her fooled. Toni tells Deonna to take her tattoo and "blow it right out of [her] bumhole."

MJF says that at Worlds End, he will defend the AEW World Championship against Samoa Joe, and when it comes to Joe as a person, he does not like him, but professionally, he respects him and what he has done and not coming to AEW to line his pockets. He talks about how he got a poster in his mailbox for TNA Wrestling and saw a lot of wrestling that he had never seen before, and most importantly, Samoa Joe. He says that while Joe looked unconventional, he did not care, for he was "the baddest man walking on God's green earth." MJF admits that Joe's talents were not recognized to the point of becoming a world champion in WWE, but Joe proved that one does not have to look like a world-class bodybuilder to be a top man in the sport and that alternatives matter. He says that without Joe, there would be no MJF and no AEW, and he thanks Joe for making both happen. MJF then says that while he is grateful for the road Joe has paved, he is not too shabby himself, for he has helped to build a new alternative in AEW brick by brick by defeating some of the biggest names in the industry. He then says that out of all of the big names he has faced, the luckiest that he has managed to survive against is Samoa Joe. MJF then says Worlds End is not about Joe's legacy, but his own, and he must outlast the final boss of the sport one more time. He then promises to everyone at home and everyone in the arena that regardless of his condition or what Joe does to him, he will show the world that it is about the size of the fight in the dog, and if Joe wants to take what is his, he will have to put him down. After MJF breaks his cane over his knee, the lights go out and spotlights frantically fly around the ring, and men clad in black suddenly gang up on MJF before the lights come back on. Joe shows up and forces the men to flee. We then see a message asking if Joe and MJF will face the unknown in a tag team match and asks MJF is he is a hero. MJF says he is not dealing with the mystery man's crap and that he will take his men out one by one before he unmasks him. As Joe tells MJF to relax, MJF accepts the challenge to a tag team match.

After some waiting, Copeland shows up, and Christian hides behind the security detail. Christian says the security detail was not his idea and that security is not needed, then asks the security detail to vacate the ring, which security does. He then says that the two of them are not going to make it to next week regarding Copeland's challenge for the TNT Championship because he is sorry not for being on an island of his own, especially after what happened to Killswitch. Christian states that after what happened to Killswitch, he went on the road and into a state of reflection as to why he became who he is now and it reminded him of his and Copeland's time treasure trying to make it in professional wrestling. He says that when they did make it, they became the greatest tag team that ever lived and two of the greatest careers in the history of the sport, and that when the wrestling is taken out of the equation, their relationship goes even deeper. Christian then goes into Copeland growing up with a single father and no father figure, which led to them become brothers and Christian's father becoming Copeland's father, to the point that they became family. As Copeland turns his back, Christian tries to hit him with the TNT Championship, but Copeland turns around and kicks Christian in the groin before telling him to shine the title up real nice because it is coming home to him. He also tells Christian "Go fuck yourself."

Collision Course - Collision recap for November 17, 2023

Tony Schiavone interviews Christian Cage, Luchasaurus and Nick Wayne in the ring to start tonight's show. Christian Cage says the town is full of "plastic, phony people" who are about to hear someone speak the truth, and it is lucky for them that they not only get to see Sting's final match in Los Angeles and his final match ever, which he guarantees, as he is tried of looking at Sting and his facepaint and watching people bow down to him and call him an icon while he lives off his past and steals a check like he has for the last fifteen years. He also looks forward to Darby Allin losing a mentor, and tells Darby that if he ever needs that fatherly guidance, he knows who to look for. As for "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, Christian says that if he sticks his nose in his business, it will be "his literal 'Come to Jesus' moment." Christian also says that Adam Copeland will regret ever signing a contact with All Elite Wrestling, and that while Copeland can fool everyone into thinking that he is here to tag with him one more time, nobody knows him better than he does and he knows Copeland wants to steal his spotlight. He says he is not the same person that he was back then, and while Copeland was coddled and handed all sorts of opportunities, he was stuck in the trenches fighting for every inch, and they will see whose career path served them better. He also tells Beth Phoenix to keep the kids up tomorrow night, as he will break Copeland's neck. Christian then states that AEW wants him on their programming as much as they can, then says he can beat the participants in tonight's four-way match to decide a new #1 contender for the TNT Championship all at the same time and that he will keep running things in AEW, for he is the system.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Big Bill and "Absolute" Ricky Starks.

Starks says that he was allowed to pick a stipulation to favor them, and he is picking a ladder match. He says they do not need acronyms to prove why they are the best, for when they walk out of Los Angeles, they are walking out in style as champions and the greatest tag team anyone has ever seen.

As for "Switchblade" Jay White, the AEW World Championship means everything to him and symbolizes all his hard work, and that Jay White - who reminds MJF of the parts of himself he despises - stole the title because he is insecure, and that the man makes the championship and that Jay White will lose because he is not on his level. On the subject of being world champion for close to a year, MJF says that the likelihood of that happening has always been "slim to none," and while the likelihood of winning both of his match at Full Gear is also slim to none, he likes those odds.

He calls it "a business for grown-ups" and not a popularity contest he would have lost a long time ago, then admits that 15-year-old him never would have guessed he had no idea he would sell out so many venues as a professional wrestler. He tells the fans to tell him when he is telling lies (which he does a few more times during his promo). Punk says he is tired of being nice and that he got here on the backs of passionate fans, and he has never fit in more in any place other than professional wrestling, and says he loves the fans and that the fans love him because he has never compromised. After stating that the fans made it possible, Punk admits there are people who hate him for the same reason the fans love him, and that his presence makes people uncomfortable because he is the truth and the truth make people uncomfortable. He tells the fans to call him what they want, love him, hate him, cheer him and boo him and that people hate him because they know he is right, and that he is a genuine article in "a world of counterfeit bucks." Punk then says that the king is back and that he has a lot of things to get off his chest, then asks why he would change when he will always speak truth to power, be himself and never compromise. He says that he has become older and wiser in his years, and sorry that the only people softer than the fans are the wrestlers they like, and states that he is holding what is inside his red bag only because he won his dog collar match and that it is his until someone pins or submits him for it.

Jericho says Guevara is having "delusions of grandeur" for being in the main event spotlight, and demands he apologize right now. Guevara tells Jericho "I'm not apologizing for shit!" Jericho tells Guevara to remember the dynamic and the hierarchy in The Jericho Appreciation Society, and that they will have to tag up next week to show who the boss really is. Darby tells Jericho that he may be a wizard, but when he steps in the ring, the magic is gone.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for April 19, 2023

"Jungle Boy" Jack Perry heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Before he can say much, Sammy Guevara shows up and heads to the ring. Before Sammy can say much, he also gets interrupted, this time by Darby Allin, who also heads to the ring. Darby says that of all "the pillars," he has known Sammy Guevara the longest and he likes him the most, yet he is least qualified to fight for the AEW World Championship, as perception is reality due to him being viewed as a follower and not a champion. He says that Sammy Guevara will have to win the World title on his own like he did the TNT Championship, and yet Chris Jericho is holding him back. As for Jungle Boy, he had to work the least hardest to get here as he was always part of "the California clique." Darby says that he was still living in his car when Jungle Boy became part of AEW, but afterwards, nothing about Jungle Boy intimidated him. Jungle Boy mentions Darby Allin's facepaint also being on kid's faces and wondering if the kids knew what he was really like. He says that Darby Allin is antisocial and a jerk to anyone he does not consider cool enough, and that Darby is here because he could not make it as a skateboarder. He also says that Sammy Guevara is a dirtbag. Nevertheless, he respects Guevara the most, as what one sees with Guevara is exactly what one gets and Guevara puts his body on the line, even if he is "a scumbag piece of shit." Guevara says he was up to trash talk Darby, but says that Jungle Boy hates MJF yet is so much like him to the point that they are "the golden children of AEW," as MJF have been at key events throughout AEW's history. Guevara then says he relates more to Darby, as they are "two sides of the same coin" and they have done whatever crazy thing they could to make it, which they did. He also says Darby gave him hope in AEW, as Darby kept losing match after match until he suddenly won his first title.Guevara calls Darby proof that he could smash the glass ceiling and do it better, which he did three times, and that they have always outdone each other. He then says it is time for Guevara to sit back and watch him become world champion. Jungle Boy says that Guevara and Darby act like it is all about them, then says he is the next world champion and that he will do it for every single person who has supported him since day one. MJF then shows up and says he does not care what the fans thing, then tells everyone in the ring to stop fighting over him because they are making him blush. He then says that he knows they are all tied up in the rankings and that he has talked with Tony Khan, and that there will be a "Pillars Tournament" where the winner faces him for the "Triple B" at Double or Nothing. After a hat is brought out with all three men's names in it, MJF announces that Darby Allin gets a first round bye, and that Guevara and Jungle Boy will wrestle each other in the first round tonight.

He says that Tully Blanchard taught well how to play checkers with the AEW roster well, but tonight, they are playing chess.

The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson) head to the ring. Omega says the past few weeks have been the most difficult of his life and admits that The Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli, Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson) were the most respectable wrestlers on the planet until they decided to injure his family and friends. He says that he has trouble sleeping at night and that the same images replay in his mind, and he wishes that he plunged the screwdriver in the turnbuckle into Moxley's face. Omega then offers an invitation to the ring towards The Blackpool Combat Club so they can squash the beef once and for all. "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson shows up on the video screen and says nobody wants to pay for a monologue from a bunch of amateurs when the rest of The Blackpool Combat Club attack The Elite from behind. This leads to a brawl all around the ring in which The Elite get the upper hand, but Wheeler Yuta hits Matt Jackson with the ROH World Championship in an attempt to injure him. Nick jackson makes the save, but he gets powerbombed by Claudio. Omega tries to make the save, but Moxley hits him with the Death Rider. Bryan Danielson shows up and calls The Elite "a bunch of amateurs," then Don Callis shows up with a chair. When he is spotted, he drops the chair and runs away. Danielson says that while Omega is not an amateur and has more potential than anybody, he would rather sit on his potential, and he should be gone. Danielson pulls out a screwdriver, but Callis returns with Konosuke Takeshita, who makes the save and turns things around with help from Omega.

Wardlow beats Powerhouse Hobbs to become TNT Champion for the third time in his hometown after QT Marshall gets ejected from the match and Arn Anderson - and Penta el Zero Miedo, who suddenly show up - take him down.

MJF offers him a guaranteed spot in the main event of Double or Nothing if he lays down tonight, but Guevara says he will win his way to the main event. MJF says Guevara is talented, but the odds are against him. MJF then throws in a blank check as part of the deal, and Sammy Guevara writes a number on it. MJF then looks at the check and is surprised by the number, and Guevara says it is his price. MJF says they have a deal, then Guevara tells him that friends hug, not shake hands, and hugs him.

Chris Jericho heads to the ring. After the commercial break, Adam Cole also heads to the ring. Cole talks about how he studied and idolized Jericho and how Jericho became a direct inspiration for what he is doing, and how they are now in the ring for the first time ever. He also admits he has a ton of respect for Jericho. Jericho offers his hand, and Adam Cole shakes hands with him. Jericho then says he is glad to hear those words, then says he has zero respect for him before calling him "an arrogant son of a bitch." Jericho then takes offense to how he helped Keith Lee to the back in their last meeting and says Cole should be lucky he does not slap him in the face right now, but Cole says he knew Jericho would go this route and says Jericho has been "a real jackoff." He asks Jericho how hypocritical he can be when he surrounds himself with the Jericho Appreciation Society, then asks Jericho the last time he has asked himself who "the real Chris Jericho" is. Cole says "the real Chris Jericho" is "an insecure, fickle, stupid idiot," and wants to know what Jericho will do now that he has his attention. Jericho says he is not "a jackoff" and that Cole does not impress him, then tells Cole to never meet his heroes and to not have anything to do with him, then tells him to get out of his ring.Jericho then shoves Cole, and Cole attacks Jericho in response. Daniel Garcia runs into the ring and attacks Cole, then Jericho joins in. Suddenly, Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. shows up and pulls Jericho off of Cole and confronts him before slapping him. The Outcasts then show up from behind Britt Baker and gang up on her, and Jericho continues the attack on Cole while Daniel Garcia handcuffs Cole to the bottom rope.

Renee Paquette interviews Ruby Soho in the ring. Ruby says it should not come as a surprise to anyone, as everyone has created "this monster." She says her first title match was against Britt Baker, and when Britt won, the fans were thrilled. She then mentions another match against Kris Statlander in the TBS title semi-finals, and when she beat Kris Statlander, the fans booed her out of the building. Ruby then says that when she faced Jamie Hayter, nobody was going to be on her side or appreciate her when she lost, and mentions that Toni Storm was underappreciated as champion and Saraya was turned on by the fans when she came out of retirement. She says that they are here to rebuild the women's division, but one cannot rebuild with a broken foundation and the foundation is undeserving "little shits" and entitled rookies who think they deserve everything. She then demands to fight Skye Blue, and Skye Blue shows up for the next match.

Ruby Soho beats Skye Blue. After the match, Toni Storm and Saraya show up with cans of spray paint. As Ruby Soho is about to spray paint an L on Ruby, Willow Nightingale shows up and tries to reason with Ruby only to be attacked from behind by Toni and Saraya. Willow gets laid out, and both Skye Blue and Willow Nightingale get tagged.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Hangman" Adam Page. Page says that he has physically been better, but mentally, all is well. He says he let his heart blacken not because he wanted to, but because he had to, and warns anyone who wants to push him that he will take them to Hell and ride back out. Page then apologizes to Renee for what she had to see, but if she wants to blame anybody, he is not to blame. He then says he is finished with Jon Moxley.

In backstage footage from Revolution, MJF says everyone who doubted him should get their brain checked before bragging about clipping Bryan Danielson's wings, being the devil and retaining the AEW World Championship. He says that he is feeling good and that next week, he will be celebrating his birthday in style and have his "re-bar mitzvah." He says nobody will dethrone him, as his reign of terror has just begun.

Tony Schivone interviews FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) in the ring. Wheeler says FTR had a great 2022, but says the last few months have not been very good, as they lost to The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster and Anthony Bowens) and The Gunns (Austin and Colten Gunn) and lost three sets of tag team titles in less than a month before losing Jay Briscoe. He says they needed to step away and take a breather, but they cannot stand by as The Gunns call themselves the best tag team in wrestling, as they are "spoiled, entitled, disrespectful little assholes." He says that "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn gave them every advantage while his own father taught him how to fight and how to be respectful, and now he plans to teach that to The Gunns. Dax Harwood says that in a time when he felt he was incapable of being loved, professional wrestling never left him, and this is why he loves the fans. He talks about how he closed the book on the greatest trilogy of matches in their career, then says The Gunns ruined the moment and that it is time for retribution and to hit them where it hurts by become AEW World Tag Team Champions. Dax says they have to do it for themselves, The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) and the fans.

Before the match, "Cool Hand" Angelo Parker says that tonight's victory is the greatest in trios history, and "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard announces that that tonight is the one-year anniversary of the Jericho Appreciation Society. Garcia says it is only fair that they become #1 contenders for the AEW trios titles, and Guevara says that the Society is "the sexiest group alive." Hager says he likes his sexy hat. Jericho declares the Society the #1 contenders for the trios titles, then calls out The House of Black (Malakai Black, Brody King, Buddy Matthews). The lights go out, but The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson) shows up instead. Omega says The Elite have stayed out of Jericho's business and that Jericho has not gotten in theirs for the last three years, then Don Callis shows up, takes the microphone and states that The Elite defined the trios titles and should be #1 contenders. Callis then mentions his friendship of 33 years with Jericho and admits that while Jericho is one of the best of all time, but he is only "the second-best wrestler from Winnipeg." He then says that if he had a couple of months to train, Jericho would be number three. Jericho tells The Elite and Don Callis to get in the ring, then the lights go out again and The House of Black shows up on the video screen. Malakai Black then says both trios are worthy of being humiliated, then the lights come back on, The House of Black are suddenly on the ramp, and Malakai Black dares both teams to come take the trios titles before the lights go back out and The House disappears.

After the match, Moxley puts Reynolds in another submission hold, and Castagnoli holds back the ref until John Silver tries to make the save, which causes Castagnoli to hit Silver with a gut wrench suplex. Moxley then puts Reynolds in the Bulldog Choke, then Evil Uno runs in and fights Moxley only for Wheeler Yuta to hit him with a chop block. As The Blackpool Combat Club gang up on Evil Uno, "Hangman" Adam Page shows up, confronts Moxley and checks on Reynolds, then Claudio gets in Page's face only to get punched. The Blackpool Combat Club then attack Page, and referees have to break up the brawl.
