Live Coverage.
- Excalibur, Taz & Tony Schiavone welcomed the audience to the broadcast before transitioning into the opening segment.
- Jon Moxley came to the ring for a surprise interview. Moxley said he was looking for someone who was not here for a conversation and who was nothing like him and everything like him. Moxley called out Darby Allin, who said it was time for a talk and he was not hard to find. As Schiavone was about to kick off the show, Moxley interrupted and told Schiavone this was not his company anymore.
- Renee Paquette interviewed HOOK & The Conglomeration (Tomohiro Ishii, Willow Nightingale, Orange Cassidy, Mark Briscoe & Kyle O'Reilly), where they recapped their trails in AEW All In. Nightingale said she wanted the stipulation against Kris Statlander in a Chicago Street Fight. This promo led to Ishii's match against "Hangman" Adam Page.
- "Hangman" Adam Page def. Tomohiro Ishii via Pinfall (Buckshot Lariat).
- After the match, Prince Nana & Swerve Strickland appeared. Strickland & Page went nose-to-nose before Strickland said that instead of attacking Page for his interference on AEW All In, he felt sorry for him because he was acting like a child and was straying away from success with every rant and said that Page failed to stop Strickland from being a champion. Page said Strickland was a piece of shit and that Strickland never beat him on his own, saying that Swerve was not as good as him. Page then challenged Strickland just one-on-one, to which Strickland responded by offering a Steel Cage Match. Strickland then asked Page what kind of man he was going to be, but Strickland said he drove 10 minutes up his house after the AEW Revolution and saw him escorting his wife & child down the stairs to become a father for a second time, saying that was the man Page needed to be. That situation made him realize Page was not worth chasing for and focused on the World Title. Strickland said that Page's desperation to hunt down Swerve cost his future and asked Page what kind of man he would show his kids on AEW All Out. Page then left the ring in anger.
- Jamie Hayter def. Harley Cameron (w/ Saraya) via Pinfall (Hayter-Rade Lariat).
- Saraya escaped through the crowd after the match.
- Roderick Strong & The Learning Tree (Big Bill, Chris Jericho & Bryan Keith), where Jericho said that HOOK was now a champion because of the lessons taught him; however, Strong interrupted and asked him to get Kyle O'Reilly away from Orange Cassidy. Jericho then said Cassidy still owed him $7000 for his jacket and said that The Conglomeration & HOOK would pay the price tonight. Bryan Keith ended things by saying the following eloquent words: "PAY THE DAMN PRICE!".
- MJF came to the ring for a promo. MJF said he felt betrayed by the United States after the events of AEW All In and denounced his American Citizenship & the fans who have shown him no respect. MJF then said Will Ospreay cheated like a gutless boy and said things between himself & Ospreay were not over and said he would cut Ospreay from the knees whenever he goes for the AEW World Title. MJF then called out Daniel Garcia, promising to end his life if he ever showed his face in AEW. Well, say his name and he appears: Garcia attacked MJF from behind and locked in a Guillotine Choke on MJF. Garcia first tried to hit a Piledriver on MJF, but instead, he got MJF on the top rope for an Avalanche Piledriver; however, an army of Security Guards swarmed Garcia before MJF attacked Garcia. Garcia & MJF continued to brawl before a new army of Security Guards and Christopher Daniels stopped him. Garcia revealed he pawned the Dynamite Diamond Ring to go to London and said that if MJF thought what happened in Wembley was bad, it was nothing like Garcia's mom having to experience him being in the hospital on the biggest night of his career. Garcia then challenged MJF to a match at AEW All Out and said if anyone cared about him, they would have to watch him suffer as his mother did. Red Death has been unleashed on AEW.
- There was a video package for Ricochet ahead of his match tonight.
- Roderick Strong & The Learning Tree (Chris Jericho, Big Bill & Bryan Keith) vs. HOOK & The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Mark Briscoe & Kyle O'Reilly).
- As The Conglomeration brawled with The Learning Tree, The Undisputed Kingdom (Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett attacked HOOK).
- Kamille & TBS Champion Mercedes Moné hosted a party before they were interrupted by Private Party (Isiah Kassidy & Marq Quen). Kassidy put over Moné's outfit before Kamille and AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada kicked them out.
- Tony Schiavone introduced the newly crowned AEW Women's World Champion Mariah May, who stood behind Schiavone. May said that the celebration was "postponed" because she would not do it in Champaign, Illinois because the city was horrible. May then took off her robe to show she was the newly crowned AEW Women's World Champion. One fan covered their hubbie's eyes.
- The Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson & James Drake) cut a promo in Wembley before they were interrupted by The Young Bucks. GYV made it clear that the attack on FTR was a message to the entire AEW Tag Division, including them. After that, GYV cut a live promo, where they said one unlucky team would feel their wrath on the 8/30 edition of AEW Rampage.
- There was a video recap of Konosuke Takeshita's participation in the 2024 edition of NJPW's G1 Climax Tournament. He will make his AEW return by facing The Beast Mortos, Komander & Lio Rush on the 8/30 edition of AEW Rampage.
- Ricochet def. Kyle Fletcher (w/ Don Callis) via Pinfall (The Vertigo).
- Will Ospreay interrupted after the match and appeared on the ramp, but he was immediately attacked by PAC with a Poison Rana on the ramp. PAC told Ospreay to not forget about The Bastard and welcomed Ricochet to AEW but told him to get to the back of the line because Ospreay belonged to him.
- Jon Moxley was interviewed backstage, where he met with two backstage personnel, by saying it was time for a lesson in humility. This led to Marina Shafir attacking the security guards as Moxley watched. Joe Alonzo tried to interfere, but he ran away before Shafir shoved the cameraman to the ground.
- The newly crowned AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson came to the ring to cut a promo after his title win at AEW All In, where he said that Danielson's daughter, Birdie, told her that night was the best night of her life. Danielson did admit that was his career favorite moment of his career; however, he did admit that his contract expired on August 1st, he would need neck surgery soon and his family was ready to see him come home. Danielson said that he had thought about it a lot since Sunday and said it may be time to go home, but NOT YET. Danielson said he would not retire as champion, he would fight for the title as much as he could. Danielson did confirm he would retire from full-time wrestling but that would not be soon because he still has a lot of heads to kick in. Danielson said he would give an open challenge to anyone hungry enough to want the title. Jack Perry cut a promo from the titantron, where he said his future was being AEW World Champion while Danielson's future was behind him. This was a trap, as Perry immediately attacked Danielson before hitting the Busaiku Knee on Danielson. Perry stood tall with both the AEW World and TNT Titles to end the broadcast.
