Live Coverage

- The show kicks off with a backstage promo featuring BCC. Jon Moxley says he built the company with his hands and won't let it be ruined. Orange Cassidy cuts the promo off and walks to the ring. He talks about what happened to Chuck Taylor last week and says he will be the next World Champion, promising to take the belt out of Moxley's bag and put it in his backpack.

- Mercedes Mone and Kamille were backstage when Renee Paquette approached them and asked for Mone's predictions for Kamille's match tonight. Mone said, "Just look at Kamille; she's a brick house." Kris Statlander pales in comparison to her. Mone reprimanded Paquette for wishing Kamille luck, stating she doesn't need it when she's with the CEO.

* Adam Cole def. Buddy Matthews

- They teased finishing the match prematurely because of Adam's knee injury, but he continued to fight through and eventually beat Matthews. Adam Cole thanked Buddy Matthews for reminding him who he was. They shake hands, and the lights go out before Malakai Black is revealed as the one now shaking Cole's hand. Kyle O'Reilly was watching the segment.

- Backstage, Christopher Daniels warns Private Party that the Young Bucks broke up SCU and Frankie Kazarian isn't even with the company anymore. They say they will handle business and be the new AEW Tag Team Champions.

- Adam Cole was getting checked out in the trainer's room. Roderick Strong, Matt Taven, and Mike Bennett flanked him. He addressed Maxwell Jacob Friedman and said that no matter what, he would get his hands on him.

- Renee Paquette is backstage with Hangman Page, who said that Jay White joined the Owen Hart Tournament in July intending to compete for the AEW World Championship. Page, not Christian Cage, cost White the bout and three months on the shelf. Page knows White's strategy, but White will not know his for Full Gear. Will he strike him with a steel chair, strangle out his buddies while watching, or burn down White's house? Page is confident that when he defeats White after Full Gear, he will leave him injured and with less than he had previously, like many others who have stood in his way.

- Kyle Fletcher is out. He tries to call out Will Ospreay, but Mark Davis returns instead. Mark Davis refuses to hug Kyle and asks why he turned on Ospreay. Fletcher says that Don Callis showed him the way and claims that Will always used them. Fletcher also says that Davis will have to make a decision one day, and he warns him that he has no problem cutting out the past.

- Jon Moxley, PAC, Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, and Claudio Castagnoli come out. Moxley addresses Cassidy's earlier challenge. MOX says that Cassidy didn't challenge him; it was the other way around. MOX says that taking out Chuck Taylor was a challenge to Cassidy, and he was trying to remove some of his distractions, but he would give him another test. MOX had PAC and Claudio briefly turn on Wheeler and threatened to Pillmanize his neck. Cassidy came out to make the save, and it was revealed to be a ruse, one that Wheeler might not have been in on, as they all began beating him up. Cassidy was saved by John Silver, Alex Reynolds, Evil Uno, Lio Rush, Action Andretti, and Private Party. Darby Allin also returned and repelled down to ringside like Sting in 1996. The BCC was sent running for the first time. Private Party was also left in the ring as Matthew Jackson and Nicholas Jackson came out to defend their Tag Team Championships.

* AEW Tag Team Championships - If Private Party Loses, They Will Split: Private Party (Zay & Quen) def. Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson & Nicholas Jackson) (c)

- Kazuchika Okada took out Quen with a Tombstone on the stage. The Young Bucks tried to take out Zay while he was alone, but they failed to win with all of their signature moves and even all of Kenny Omega's signature moves. After the match, Matthew Jackson and Nicholas Jackson graciously handed over the Tag Team Championships.

- Jamie Hayter and Penelope Ford had a backstage confrontation during an interview with Renee Paquette.

- Chris Jericho, Bryan Keith, and Big Bill cut a promo on the stage. Jericho promises to take Ring of Honor to new heights.

- A video package for Anna Jay and Mariah May's rivalry airs.

- Alex Marvez was trying to speak with The Young Bucks when Jack Perry chased him away. Daniel Garcia appeared and wanted to know where Perry was during the match, knowing he would lose his TNT Title soon. Perry attempted to harass Garcia, who smashed him against the wall. Perry then proceeded into The Elite locker room, where Brandon Cutler assisted The Young Bucks and Okada in shredding paperwork. When Matthew informed them they had to go, Perry slammed the door shut.

* Kris Statlander def. Kamille

- Post-match: Mercedes Mone jumped Statlander. She berated Kamille for losing and said that if she wants something done right, she must do it herself.

- Christian Cage/HOOK recap plays. Cage invites HOOK to meet with him next Wednesday on AEW Dynamite.

- The Young Bucks were shown leaving the building and said they would be working from home. Chris Daniels begged them to stay because they needed them. They drove off, but they left Brandon Cutler behind. Cutler would then have his hand smashed with a hammer by Claudio Castagnoli as MOX forced Daniels to watch.

- Renee interviewed Tomohiro Ishii, Kyle O'Reilly, and Mark Briscoe. Mark Briscoe challenged The Learning Tree to a Fight Without Honor for next week.

* Swere Strickland def. Shelton Benjamin

- After the match, MVP made a phone call, and Bobby Lashley showed up to lay Strickland out. The show went off the air with MVP saying, "Guess who's back in business?"
