Live Coverage
* TBS Championship: Mercedes Mone (c) def. Hikaru Shida

- A Will Ospreay vs. MJF vignette played.
- PAC is featured in a venue where he challenges the winner of Will Ospreay and MJF to an American/International Title Match at AEW All Out.
- A Darby Allin vignette leads Darby to enter the arena. A Jack Perry running knee immediately took him out. Perry assaulted Darby in the backstage area, slamming a metal door into his rib cage. Perry tried to wheel an equipment case into Darby's head, but security stops him. Jack ended the segment with the challenge to Darby for a Coffin Match at AEW All In in Wembley Stadium.
- Mariah May's movie played. Mariah immediately cut off the black-and-white filter and said she wasn't doing "that shit." Mariah said she would forget Toni Storm while Storm obsessed over her for the rest of her life.
- Renee Paquette interviews Mina Shirakawa. She hoped no one would get hurt in the match between Mariah and Toni.
* Winner enters Casino Gauntlet first at AEW All In: Orange Cassidy def. Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly
Post-match: Kyle O'Reilly originally looked very frustrated but eventually congratulated Orange Cassidy.
Renee Paquette conducted the face-to-face segment between Claudio Castagnoli and Kazuchika Okada. Claudia says that he has always felt like the Continental Title was meant for him. He said he's going to make this title shot count. Okada said he would hold on to this title until the Continental Classic. Claudio said he wanted the real Okada next week, not the Elite's lackey.
- Renee Paquette interviewed Christian Cage and The Patriarchy (Shayna Wayne, Killswitch, and Nick Wayne). Christian talks about wanting to hold every Championship until he's holding everything simultaneously, and he also says he won't be there on AEW Rampage when Nick Wayne fights Kip Sabian.
- HOOK is interviewed in the ring by Tony Schiavone. He wants to face Chris Jericho for the FTW Title right then and there, but Jericho comes out and agrees to defend the title at Wembley Stadium. This will be HOOK's last shot at the belt, and he has to face big Bill next week, too.
* AEW Tag Team Championship: Young Bucks (Matthew & Nicholas Jackson) (c) def. The Acclaimed (Max Caster & Anthony Bowens) by DQ
- FTR interfered and caused the disqualification. Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood will face The Acclaimed on Saturday Collision, with the winners going on to challenge the Young Bucks at Wembley Stadium.
- Bryan Danielson's career retrospective played.
* Swerve Strickland def. Wheeler Yuta by way of referee stoppage.
- Strickland hit Wheeler with three House Calls and started pummeling him in the head with his fists, forcing the referee to stop things. After the match, Bryan Danielson immediately hit the ring to stop any further damage to Wheeler. Strickland ok the opportunity to cut a promo saying that he was going to cripple Danielson in Wembley in front of his family, specifically mentioning his daughter. As Danielson continued to check on Wheeler, Swerve hit the ring and dropped Danielson with a House Call. The show ended with Strickland doing the "Yes!" pose.
