The Elite (AEW World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks and Kazuchika Okada) are then shown arriving in the arena in one vehicle, while “The Scapegoat” Jack Perry is shown arriving in the arena in another vehicle. They then walk into the building together, but security arrives to try and keep Perry from entering. Matthew and Nicholas then force the security to back down and say Perry is with them.

“Freshly Squeezed” Orange Cassidy’s music then hits and he is thrown through the entrance ramp by Trent Beretta. Beretta then continues beating Cassidy down all the way to the ring. Beretta then grabs a mic and calls Chuck Taylor down to the ring. Taylor then appears and Beretta apologizes to him.

Beretta then tells Taylor that Cassidy is not his friend and that he loves him. Beretta then tells Taylor to do the right thing and give the people what they want. Taylor and Beretta are then about to hug, but Taylor stops before they do. Taylor then calls Beretta a piece of s*** and says he doesn’t want to fight him in the ring.

We then head to the back, where IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Jon Moxley says people shouldn’t underestimate his opponent later tonight, who is none other than Powerhouse Hobbs. Moxley then says he knows what’s at stake tonight and all he needs to do is make one mistake and everything he has could come crashing down. Moxley then says he knows the Don Callis Family put a hit on his friend and knows what it takes to get the job done. Moxley then says tonight will suck and he is going to take a beating, but this is the greatest sport in the world and tonight he will remind everyone exactly why and they all will know from Jacksonville to Tokyo.

Stokely Hathaway and Kris Statlander are shown waiting in the ring. Hathaway starts off by saying we are here for a Willow Nightingale TBS Championship celebration. Kris Statlander then says some kind things about Nightingale and Hathaway brings Willow out. Hathaway admits that when they first started this journey, he didn’t like Nightingale and Nightingale says she didn’t like him either, but they’ve ended up becoming good friends. Nightingale then says she started with AEW in Daily’s Place just trying to get an opportunity and now she stands in front of everyone as the TBS Champion.

Mercedes Moné’s music then hits and she makes her way down to the ring. Moné starts off by telling Jacksonville to say hello to their CEO. Nightingale then says this is the fourth time that Moné has interrupted her and this is her time now. Moné then says she is just out there to congratulate Nightingale on her title win and to inform her that she is going to be the new TBS Champion at Double or Nothing. Moné then says while she is out there, she wants to know if Willow was the one who attacked her a few weeks ago. Multiple women are then blamed and nothing gets revealed. Nightingale then says she wants to know if Moné blames her for injuring her in their match at New Japan last year.

Moné doesn’t come out and say it, but she pretty much confirms it. Nightingale then says she admits she wondered if she could beat Moné at 100% and knows that her win over her has an asterisk on it. Nightingale then says there was no asterisk on her win at Dynasty. Moné then says to enjoy it while it lasts because she is taking that title at the PPV. Moné then tries to walk away, but Statlander grabs her to spin her around. Mercedes then thinks it is Nightingale and she slaps her. This then turns into a pull-apart to end the segment.

We then head to the back, where The Elite comes out of Tony Khan’s locker room. Alex Marvez then tries to find out if Jack Perry is back in AEW. He is not given an answer, but Matthew Jackson tells him that Tony Khan has agreed to meet Jack Perry in the ring later on tonight.

Jericho then says he’s changing the meaning of those three letters and says it’s For The World. Jericho then says the wrestling world is buzzing over him dethroning HOOK at AEW Dynasty and recalls Terry Funk telling him to teach the next generation to take the wrestling world to the next level. Jericho then says HOOK’s only flaw was not getting rid of the dead weight around him in Taz and Katsuyori Shibata.

Callis then says he doesn’t like the sound of that as he cuts off Fletcher from trying to interject, saying he has no room to talk after losing tonight. Callis then says Roderick Strong has had neck issues in the past and wants there to be more when Ospreay wins the International Title.
