The commentary team emphasized the stipulation that if Matt Hardy’s team emerged victorious, he would gain control of Ethan Page’s contract, heightening the stakes of the match. Around the 6-minute mark, Matt executed a second rope elbow drop on Colten Gunn, resulting in a near fall with a two count.

A confrontation ensued at ringside as Page and Austin Gunn confronted Isiah “Brother Zay” Kassidy. Austin forcefully removed Kassidy’s bedazzled neck brace, causing Kassidy to sell neck pain by collapsing to the ringside mat and remaining down. Excalibur then announced that the opening ceremonies of the Owen Hart Cup tournament would follow the conclusion of this match.

As the match progressed, Matt found himself isolated by the opposing team, but he managed to fight back and clear them to ringside. Matt came close to making the tag, but Page and Austin intervened by pulling Jeff and Hook off the apron. Eventually, Jeff was able to tag in and unleashed his offense on both Colten and Austin, securing a two count on Austin with a middle rope splash. However, during the setup for another move from the ropes, Jeff slipped and crashed to the mat.

Soon after, Hook tagged in and took control against Page. Hook executed a suplex on Page and followed it up with a powerful club to the jaw, but Page countered by throwing him to the mat and delivering a solid kick. Colten then tagged in, and Matt made a blind tag. The Hardys executed a double team move on Colten, with Jeff preparing to ascend the ropes but getting cut off. The Gunns managed to hit their double team finisher on Matt, but Jeff broke up their double pin attempt by performing a Swanton onto both of them.

In the closing moments, the Hardys executed Twist of Fates on the Gunns, leaving Page alone in the ring with all three babyfaces. The Hardys then delivered cutters on Page, and Hook applied the Redrum submission hold, forcing Page to submit and securing the victory for their team.

Thus, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, and Hook emerged triumphant over Ethan Page, Colten Gunn, and Austin Gunn in the pre-show match.

The match was off to an exciting start, full of potential surprises and intense competition.

Komander showcased his acrobatic skills by performing a rope walk and a daring dive onto several wrestlers on the outside. The broadcast team took note that Komander had yet to officially enter the ring, meaning he was not in danger of being eliminated at that point.

Inside the ring, Adam Cole and Chris Jericho immediately engaged in a heated exchange of punches, showcasing their intense rivalry. Cole gained the upper hand momentarily by throwing Jericho to the ringside area. Not accompanied by the wrestlers who initially entered with them, the two competitors continued their battle outside the ring.

Cole attempted a high-risk maneuver, the Panama Sunrise, on the apron, but Jericho managed to counter and suplex Cole from the apron to the floor, displaying his resilience. Back in the ring, Jericho strategically wedged a chair between the ropes in one corner. Cole evaded a charging Jericho, causing him to collide headfirst into the chair, emphasizing the brutal and unsanctioned nature of the match. The broadcast team humorously acknowledged the lack of liability from AEW for any damages, drawing a lighthearted response.

Jericho retaliated by subjecting Cole to the Walls of Jericho submission hold, and although Cole managed to reach the ropes, the broadcast team noted that Jericho was not obliged to release the hold given the unsanctioned nature of the match. Determined to break free, Cole reached ringside and grabbed a fire extinguisher, promptly using it to spray Jericho and force him to release the hold.

Taking advantage of the situation, Cole utilized the fire extinguisher as a weapon, striking Jericho’s head before covering him for a two count. However, Jericho quickly regrouped and retaliated by spraying Cole with the fire extinguisher. Jericho then dropped the fire extinguisher onto Cole’s abdomen, further inflicting damage. Returning to ringside, Jericho retrieved a kendo stick, intent on using it as a weapon.

To everyone’s surprise, Britt Baker rushed to the ring with her own kendo stick, attacking Jericho. Saraya, another individual who had entered the scene, also fell victim to Baker’s swift strikes. As Saraya retreated from the ring, Baker pursued her backstage, leaving the two competitors alone in the ring.

With the match resuming, Cole utilized the kendo stick as he wrapped it around Jericho’s neck and executed a Backstabber, earning a near fall. Cole then climbed to the top rope, but Jericho reacted swiftly by throwing a chair at his head, causing him to fall off the ropes and crash through a table on the outside floor. Seizing the opportunity, Jericho retrieved a television camera from ringside and proclaimed, “You see what happens when you mess with Chris Jericho.”

Returning to the ring, Jericho rolled Cole back inside and produced a steel chain from underneath the ring, proceeding to handcuff it to Cole’s wrist. However, Cole managed to deliver a devastating DDT onto the chain, earning a two count. Capitalizing on his advantage, Cole handcuffed the other end of the chain to Jericho’s wrist, preventing him from escaping. Jericho attempted to flee, but Cole yanked the chain and followed up with a superkick. Cole then executed his signature Panama Sunrise maneuver, coming close to securing the victory but only managing a near fall.

In a critical moment, Chris Jericho managed to avoid Adam Cole’s Boom knee strike, keeping the match suspenseful. However, Cole swiftly recovered, employing his agility to flip over Jericho and deliver two powerful superkicks. Following up with his signature move, the Boom knee, Cole stood up and wrapped the chain around his knee, delivering another devastating knee strike to the back of Jericho’s head.

Taking control, Cole mounted Jericho and unleashed a barrage of punches, utilizing the chain wrapped around his fist. Jericho, now sporting a bloody eye, found himself unable to defend himself against Cole’s relentless assault. Recognizing the situation, referee Aubrey Edwards made the decision to call for the bell, signifying the end of the match due to Jericho’s inability to continue.

In a hard-fought battle, Adam Cole emerged victorious over Chris Jericho in the unsanctioned match.

In a unique attire choice, Briscoe opted for a sleeveless referee shirt, shorts, and a bandana as part of his outfit. FTR attempted to execute double figure-four leg locks on the challengers. However, the challengers managed to reach the ropes, forcing a break and prompting them to roll to ringside to regroup. During this time, Briscoe caught Jay Lethal clapping his hands to simulate a tag, a deceptive move that drew Briscoe’s attention while he was engaged with Dax Harwood. Briscoe quickly realized the ploy and confronted Lethal, leading to a heated exchange.

At a later point, Jarrett cunningly held the ropes down, causing Wheeler to tumble to the floor. Seizing the opportunity, Jarrett grabbed a chair, but Briscoe intervened, causing Jarrett to drop it. Jarrett retaliated by running Wheeler into the ringside barricade, inflicting damage. The challengers then isolated Wheeler, keeping him at a disadvantage for a significant period of time. Jarrett took advantage of the situation by placing Wheeler over the middle rope and choking him, but Briscoe eventually intervened to halt his actions.

Adding to the chaos, Karen Jarrett, Jeff Jarrett’s wife, reached into the ring and choked Wheeler over the rope while Briscoe was occupied with her husband. The involvement of Karen introduced a new dimension of interference and underhanded tactics into the match, further complicating the situation for FTR.

In a back-and-forth contest, the action intensified as the match progressed. Jeff Jarrett displayed his showmanship by flipping off Dax Harwood before executing his signature strut.

Lethal attempted a top-rope elbow, but Harwood recovered in time to superplex him.

FTR unleashed their devastating Doomsday powerbomb on Lethal, leaving him vulnerable. Wheeler performed a suicide dive on Jarrett but appeared to injure his knee in the process. Harwood covered Lethal, but Sonjay Dutt pulled Harwood to ringside. Mark Briscoe, the referee, spotted the interference and ejected Dutt and his accomplice, Gama Singh, from ringside. Jarrett, in an attempt to strike Harwood with a guitar, accidentally hit Briscoe instead.

FTR executed their signature move, the Big Rig, on Lethal, with Harwood pinning him. However, Briscoe was still recovering, prompting Aubrey Edwards to rush to the ring. Dutt obstructed Edwards momentarily, but she forcefully pushed him aside. Karen Jarrett, Jeff Jarrett’s wife, then struck Edwards with a guitar. Inside the ring, Lethal countered with a Lethal Injection on Harwood and Wheeler.

Shortly after, Jarrett struck Harwood with one of the title belts, only for Chris Jericho to hit Jarrett with the Stroke. Briscoe, who had awoken from his daze, made a slow count, allowing Harwood to kick out at the last possible moment. Jarrett grew frustrated and started taking shots at Briscoe, leading to a heated exchange. In the midst of the chaos, Jarrett stumbled into FTR’s Big Rig and was pinned by Harwood.

“FTR” Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler emerged victorious over the team of Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal, successfully retaining the AEW Tag Team Titles.

In the backstage area, Ricky Starks was interviewed by Alex Marvez, discussing his elimination of Jay White and Juice Robinson.
