AEW Battle Of The Belts VIII (10/21/2023).
- As Jon Moxley was making his way backstage, he was shoved by Orange Cassidy. CCassidy & Moxley had a heated confrontation before Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Dax Hardwood & Cash Wheeler pulled Moxley to backstage. This led to the opening contest of Battle of the Belts.
- AEW International Championship Match: Orange Cassidy (c) def. John Silver (w/ Alex Reynolds).
- Lexi Nair was interviewed backstage by Andrade El Idolo but was interrupted by CJ Perry. Perry said that he could be the best & "most handsome" wrestler in the world. Andrade was bamboozled by the offer.

- ROH World Television Championship Match: Samoa Joe (c) def. Tony Nese (w/ Mark Sterling).
- After the quick & dominant win, Samoa Joe called out AEW World Champion MJF to give him the "gift of foresight" & declared to Mr. Firedman that he was coming for the World Championship.
