The match began with Team AEW immediately attacking The Elite at ringside as Darby Allin’s theme was playing in the arena. Darby Allin tried to headbutt anyone in his sight because he was wearing a mask with thumbtacks. Matthew Jackson then demanded to stop the music and play their theme music, but he was immediately attacked by Bryan Danielson. Danielson demanded to “turn that shit off” before asking to play the greatest theme ever, which ended up being “The Final Countdown” by Europe. Team AEW & The Elite brawled from across the arena. Dax attacked Matt Jackson in the mini bar before drinking two shots at the same time and tossing a trash can onto Matthew. Danielson & Okada brawled in the crowd before demanding the crowd to chant the chorus of the song. The start of the match was full-on chaos before Matthew Jackson demanded the crowd to cut the music because of how expensive that song was to play.
Meanwhile, Jack Perry & Darby Allin brawled backstage while Bryan Danielson & FTR brawled with The Young Bucks & Okada on ringside. Okada held up a “Rainmaker Blvd” sign before hitting a running crossbody on Danielson from ringside into the crowd area. Meanwhile, backstage, Allin tossed Perry into a water pool full of ice, but Perry got back up and got a lead pip before swinging it on Allin’s ribs. Perry then choked out Allin with the pipe before he departed ringside. Back in the ring. The Young Bucks hit a Shatter Machine on a bloody Harwood for a near fall. Okada & The Young Bucks tried to attack Danielson in the corner, but they caught Okada instead. Danielson went for a Tope Suicida on Okada, but Okada responded by tossing a chair onto Danielson’s head. Meanwhile, backstage, Perry ran over a pile of trash with the Scapegoat Van, but it was not shown if Allin was in the pile of trash.
Back in the ring, Dax & Cash hit an Assisted Piledriver on Nicholas Jackson before hitting Power & Glory on Matthew Jackson for a near fall. Okada came back to the ring and cleaned house by attacking both Dax & Cash before hitting an elbow drop on Dax. Okada then showed the middle finger to the crowd, but Cash Wheeler bit his finger before he ate a dropkick & a Tombstone Piledriver.
Darby Allin then reappeared on the ring and immediately went after Okada, but Okada stomped on Allin’s broken ankle. Allin racked Okada’s eyes before hitting a Code Red for a near fall. Allin went for a Tope on Okada to the outside, but The Young Bucks caught him and hit a Double Powerbomb onto a stack of chairs before placing him on the Cody Vapor and sending him down. Bryan Danielson appeared back there with a bloody head to attack The Young Bucks, but Matthew Jackson neutralized him before tossing Danielson into one of the stage poker chips. The Young Bucks then got Danielson up and hit the TK Driver on Danielson onto a poker chip. Nicholas Jackson then hit a Back Drop Driver on Wheeler onto a Poker Chip, but Harwood responded by hitting a DDT on Matthew Jackson onto the Poker Chip too. Wheeler laid out Matthew Jackson before getting a table from the stage, but Okada attacked Wheeler and hit a DDT on the stage.
Okada then placed Wheeler on the table before he went and hit an Elbow Drop on Dax off the stage, to which Nicholas Jackson responded by hitting a Swanton Bomb off the stage tunnels onto Wheeler on the table. Perry got Tony Khan from the production seat and tried to attack him, but Allin reappeared and set Perry on fire with a goddamn flamethrower, but The Jackson brothers put the fire out with a fire extinguisher. Back in the ring, The Young Bucks tried to lay Allin out, but Allin evaded them and tossed Matthew out of the ring before hitting a low blow on Okada and hitting a Coffin Drop to try and get the pin, but The Young Bucks broke the pin. The Young Bucks then laid out Allin with a trash can lid. The Jackson Brothers and Okada tried to hang Allin from his legs, but FTR made the save before hitting Matthew Jackson with a Shatter Machine for a near fall, thanks to Okada breaking the pin. Harwood tried to make the save, but Matthew Jackson hit Dax with an exploding steel chair before Okada hit Wheeler with a barbed-wired Rainmaker. The Young Bucks put on a barbed-wired Reebok Pump before hitting a Double Superkick on Allin while he was hanging upside down.
Danielson came to the ring and hit a Busaiku Knee on Okada before spiking Matthew & Nicholas Jackson with the barbed-wired Reebok Pump. Danielson then hit a series of Yes Kicks before stomping Matthew Jackson’s head in before hitting a chair-assisted Busaiku Knee on Nicholas Jackson for a near fall. Okada then got up and hit the Rainmaker on Danielson, which The Jacksons followed up by hitting the EVP Trigger. Danielson tried to pull Allin from the spot he was on, but Jack Perry appeared and hit a Busaiku Knee on Danielson for the pinfall win. The Elite stood tall to end the broadcast.
Winners: The Elite (Kazuchika Okada, Jack Perry, Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson).
