The match was filled with outside action from Prince Nana, Nick Wayne, Mother Wayne, and Killswitch, but once everyone was removed from ringside following too much interference, aside from a Wayne's World from Nick Wayne to Strickland behind the referee's back, Strickland was able to overcome his exhaustion and the experience advantage of Christian Cage to defeat the veteran with the Swerve Stomp.

This is Strickland's second time defending the title after winning the championship from Samoa Joe at AEW Dynasty. He had previously defeated Claudio Castagnoli during an episode of AEW Saturday Collision.

Pot-match, Swerve celebrated with Floyd Mayweather who was in the crowd.
