Angelico is able to send Cage crashing to the mat from the top rope and begins working over Cage’s left arm before picking up a near fall. Angelico begins to methodically wear Cage down and puts him in an armbar as the fans begin a “please don’t tap” chant and Cage makes it to the ropes.

Cage finally counters with a reverse DDT and follows with a missile dropkick for a near fall. Cage then connects with a diving headbutt for another near fall. Angelico mounts a comeback and picks up a couple more near falls before Cage turns the tide and hits the Killswitch to pick up the pin fall victory.

Tony Schiavone is standing in the ring and says next week Brock Anderson, the son of Arn Anderson, will team with Cody Rhodes next week. Rhodes and Anderson then make their way to the ring, along with Arn. Cody says their dads have set ungodly standards for their children, but feels that Brock will step up to the challenge. They are then interrupted by QT Marshall and says he has had enough of Cody’s vanity projects and nepotism and says this all started because he neglected top talent. Marshall says he wants to beat his ass in a South Beach Strap Match once they return on the road. Marshall then slaps Arn in the back with a belt as Brock takes Marshall down. Referees come out to break them up as Marshall escapes the ring as the announce team hype next week’s tag team match with QT Marshall and Aaron Solow takes on Cody Rhodes and Brock Anderson.

Matt Jackson starts the match and quickly tags in Brandon Cutler and sends him in the hard way. Pac and Penta isolate Cutler and work him over until Penta finally tags in Kingston, who takes Cutler down with a delayed vertical suplex for a near fall. Pac then tags himself in and the two stare each other down for a moment, before Pac takes Cutler down with a kick and tosses him into the corner of the Bucks. Matt Jackson tags in and Pac takes him down and taunts them. The Young Bucks then double team Pac and gain control as we head into a commercial break.

We return to see Pac counter Matt Jackson’s attempt at a tornado DDT and makes it to his corner and reluctantly tags in Kingston. Kingston comes in and takes everyone out and tags in Penta, who takes out both Bucks with a cross body block. The Bucks recover and end up giving Cutler a superkick and Penta nearly picks up the pin fall over Matt Jackson. The action becomes fast and furious in the ring until Pac hits the 450 splash and locks in the Brutalizer on Matt Jackson. Nick Jackson tries to break it up but Kingston comes in for the assist.

The Pinnacle makes their way to the ring, led by MJF. Dax Harwood says Stadium Stampede didn’t go the way they wanted as that match isn’t made for men like them. He continues to say that they tried to end the careers of Santana and Ortiz to show that they still has an edge. Cash Wheeler steps in and says he doesn’t give a shit about their families and says that the Pinnacle works together as a family. Shawn Spears comes in and runs down Sammy Guevara and calls him a glorified indy wrestler. Wardlow steps in and says Jack Haggar is obsessed with him as he knows he can never beat him in the middle of the ring. Wardlow says then accepts Hagar’s challenge and says when he is standing across from him, he is in Wardlow’s world.

MJF says he is tired of people telling him that he has something to prove and that he grew up watching Chris Jericho and reading his books. MJF talks about idolizing Jericho but realized that he wasn’t even on the same level. MJF then denies Jericho’s request for a match. MJF then turns his attention to Guevara and says he doesn’t belong in the same ring as him and that he is better than him, and Sammy knows it.

Jericho appears on the big screen with his bat and says they know what happens when they don’t give the Inner Circle what they want. Jericho says they can talk about it while they are walking home and the Inner Circle is seen smashing the Pinnacle’s limo that they arrived in earlier in the night. Hager is then seen driving a forklift and picks up the limo and rips off the passenger side. Jericho says they better call and Uber tonight as JR hypes the TNT Championship match that is coming up after the commercial break.

Darby Allin says he wants Sting to stay home next week so he can have a handicap match next week against Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky. Allin says he wants to prove to both of them that he doesn’t need Sting. Sting says Darby is who he is because he is who he is. Darby continues to beg Sting to stay home and Sting finally agrees. Darby says he respects the hell out of Sting.

A video package on Andrade El Idolo is aired and it is announced that JR will interview him next week. Tony Schiavone is in the ring and introduces the AEW World Champion, Kenny Omega, as he makes his way to the ring with Don Callis. Callis congratulates Jungle Boy for earning a shot at the AEW World Championship, but says he is like the band that sings his theme song, he is a one hit wonder. Omega says he sees a little bit of himself in Jungle Boy, however, he is missing something. Callis says he is missing the guts but is interrupted by Jungle Boy’s music as he makes his way out to the ring.

Omega says he is surprised as he doesn’t think Jungle Boy is a promo guy and wonders what he could do in front of a wrestling god. Jungle Boy then grabs the microphone and says he talks too much before the two begin trading blows. Omega rakes Jungle Boy’s eyes and gains the advantage but quickly tries to get Omega in the Snare Trap. The Young Bucks then run out to the ring as Jungle Boy retreats to the floor.

Jade Cargill and Mark Sterling are backstage and says she has a family to feed and they have expensive tastes. Sterling says he will make her a household name across all media. Sterling tells her to say her catch phrase and Jade says “because I’m that bitch” as we head into a commercial break.

Scorpio Sky and Ethan Page are backstage talking about Darby Allin wanting to take them on in a handicap match. Sky says it’s a dumb decision as Page wonders if he understands the mental consequences of trying to take them on. Page says it’s only up from here for the men of the year. Sky compliments him on the catch phrase before snapping his fingers.

Match 4: Chandler Hopkins vs. Lance Archer
Archer makes quick work out of Hopkins and picks up the pin fall after hitting the Blackout. After picking up the pin fall, Archer quickly retreats to the back.

Cage and Hobbs then double team 10 and pick up a near fall as they cut the ring in half and work over 10 as we head into a commercial break.

We return to see 10 connect with a boot to Cage’s face, but he makes the blind tag to Hobbs. 10 then tags Page into the match, who sends Cage into the ring post before taking Hobbs out with a moonsault for a near fall. The match then breaks down with all four in the ring until Page takes out both Cage and Hobbs, but is unable to make a pin fall as Hobbs’ hand was underneath the rope. Cage makes the blind tag and connects with the High/Low on 10 with Hobbs for a near fall.
