Live Coverage
- The show begins with Excalibur notifying fans that Death Riders attacked HOOK before the show, sending him to the hospital and eliminating him from the Trios Title contest. Samoa Joe and Katsuyori Shibata will continue to compete for the belts regardless of the circumstances.
* Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament Semi-Final: Mercedes Mone def. Athena
- Hangman Page is being interviewed by Renee Paquette when he's interrupted by the Young Bucks and Kazuchika Okada. The Bucks are saying that it's like their best friends again because they cost Swerve the championship, and they know that's what he wanted. They asked him to squash his beef with MOX and the Death Riders. Hangman says nothing and walks away. He returns and gets in Okada's face because he told him to "Smile... BITCH!"
* Owen Hart Foundation Men's Tournament Quarter-Final: Hangman Page def. Wild Card - Josh Alexander
- Kyle Fletcher, Page's next tournament opponent, started brawling with him. Josh Alexander attacked Page from behind and dropped him with a Powerbomb, seemingly aligning with the Don Callis Family.
- Christian Cage is back. Backstage, he tells Nick Wayne that he personally got him involved in the NJPW Best of Super Juniors. He also got him a match with Komander for the ROH TV Title.
- FTR's actions against Cope and the subsequent explanation are featured in a video package. Tony Schiavone announces that they have been suspended for a week.
* AEW Tag Team Championships: Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin) (c) def. Gates Of Agony (Bishop Kaun & Toa Lion)
- MJF came out to confront them. He's looking for his three thumbs up, so he bribed them with a gaggle of women this week. He also gave Shelton Benjamin his watch. Bobby Lashley's still not feeling it, so it's three thumbs down. Later, Alicia Atout tries to catch up with the Hurt Syndicate, but they dismiss her. Well, that's unexpected, and they have their conversation. MVP tries to get Bobby to see things from a business perspective and what MJF can be for them, and help them get what they want.
* Owen Hart Foundation Men's Tournament Semi-Final: Will Ospreay def. Konosuke Takeshita
- Go out of your way to see this match. It's excellent.
* AEW Trios Championships: The Opps (Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, & Katsuyori Shibata) def. Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, & Wheeler Yuta) (c)
- Hobbs fills in for HOOK. Samoa Joe won by tapping out Moxley. Willow Nightingale came out to nullify Marina Shafir's interference. Matthew and Nicholas Jackson came out, but Swerve Strickland took them out. After the match, several baby faces on the roster came out to celebrate the Death Riders' loss.
