Backstage: Alex Marvez interviewed Tully Blanchard backstage. Santana and Ortiz laughed at Tully. Ortiz held Tully from behind and Santana pretended he was going to hit him with a crowbar. He laughed at Tully and told him it was fake, but he’d better watch his boys.

In ring segment: Tony Schiavone was in the ring to interview #1 ranked “Hangman” Adam Page! Tony Schiavone asked him about the AEW World Champion Kenny Omega. “There is no question this is what the fans want to see,” said Schiavone.
"Hangman" Adam Page: “Since Day 1 I wanted to be the AEW World Champion. I came so close, but I failed. The Dark Order is right: I still need that world championship. So I am here tonight to challenge for the All Elite—”
- - Don Callis interrupted Page, as he walked out with The Young Bucks, The Good Brothers, Brandon Cutler, and Kenny Omega.
- - - Don Callis and the rest of The Elite said, “You’re not that guy, Page.”
- - - - 1/2 of the AEW Tag Team Champions Matt Jackson got in the ring and said “Remember us? We were the best friends that you abandoned, Page. And I can smell from your breath that you’re still hitting the bottle. And there’s no one to blame but yourself. But let’s face it. You’re the next great wrestling tragedy.”
- - - - - “Hangman” Adam Page heard enough, and he decked Matt Jackson. Kenny Omega jumped into the ring and was about to hit Page from behind when The Dark Order stormed the ring to even up the odds and chase off The Elite.
“Listen Kenny, I came here tonight for a match and I’m not leaving without one. And quite frankly, neither are you,” said Page.
Kenny Omega: “I’ll do you one better. Why don’t we make it you and your guys in the goon squad versus me and The Elite? Five on Five Elimination Style!”
- - - - - - “That’s not the match I want, Kenny, but if that’s what it takes…and if we win that match, I get a shot at your AEW World Championship, and these guys get a shot at The Young Bucks for the tag belts!” said "Hangman" Adam Page. “I’ll entertain your idea, Page. But the thing is, we get nothing in exchange. So I’ve got a suggestion. After we beat your guys, not only do your boys lose their shot at the tag team titles, but you also lose your shot at my belt too. Aren’t you really just afraid to fail in front of everyone in the crowd? I’m going to take an extra measure of pleasure when the ‘Cowboy Shit’ chants turns to the crowd chanting ‘Belt Collector.’ So if you’re cool with that, so are we,” replied Kenny Omega.

Backstage: Alex Marvez interviewed Chris Jericho backstage.
“I’m not surprised that MJF uses Greek mythology to get what he wants from me. Max, I don’t care who you bring in front of me. I will walk through fire and run across broken glass to get to you and beat you and ruin your life like you tried to ruin mine!”
- - Shawn Spears ambushed Jericho and smacked him with a steel chair.
- - - MJF entered the room and said Jericho’s first challenge would be against “The Chairman” Shawn Spears next week, and the stipulation is Spears can use a steel chair in the match, but Jericho cannot!

M3: Christian Cage def. Matt Hardy
After the match: The Hardy Family Office sprinted to the ring and surrounded Christian Cage. Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy jumped into the ring as backup for Christian Cage. Matt Hardy and the Hardy Family Office retreated.

In ring segment: Tony Schiavone interviewed AEW Women’s World Champion Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. about her first title defense next week (against former champ Nyla Rose).
“Don’t worry about my well-being after Nyla Rose put me through a table. I’m the baddest bitch on the block. So if you think for one second you see fear in my eyes, you’d better look again. But you know what is daunting? Keeping Nyla Rose relevant. Nyla may be at the top of the food chain, but I’m off the menu and I’m special order. Nyla you need my world title to have any significance in AEW, but this title isn’t going anywhere except right around my waist where it belongs,” said Dr. Britt Baker.

Backstage: Jon Moxley had some choice words for Lance Archer: “He wants to end my career. I’m not the hunted. I’m the hunter. And there is only one boogeyman in New Japan Pro Wrestling and All Elite Wrestling and that’s Jon Moxley. Lance Archer, next week you will not only be Texas-born, Texas-bred, but you’ll be Texas-dead!”
