The show opens up with AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland making his way down to the ring alongside a dancing Prince Nana. Excalibur, Taz and Tony Schiavone then welcomes us to the show as Justin Roberts introduces Swerve.
Swerve Strickland starts off by saying Forbidden Door is right around the corner, then he addresses Will Ospreay challenging him for the AEW World Championship. Strickland then says the match will be between two of the biggest stars of this generation colliding and one killer will be competing in the match. Strickland then says he told Ospreay ten years ago he would be unstoppable when he developed his killer instinct. Strickland then says he saw an assassin get the job done in his match against Kenny Omega last year at Forbidden Door as was the case against Konosuke Takeshita and Bryan Danielson at AEW Revolution and AEW Dynasty. Strickland then says he didn’t see that instinct at AEW Double or Nothing and he needs to have that instinct to dethrone him. Strickland then credits Ospreay with being a fighting champion unlike the AEW World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks.
The Elite then appear on the ramp and Kazuchika Okada asks the crowd whose house it is. Okada then says it’s his house and Nicholas Jackson says they’re at ringside to take care of some business. Nicholas Jackson then says before they address that, they want to talk about how dominant they’ve been as a group. Nicholas then lists off some of The Elite’s accomplishments, then says despite all of that, they keep getting trolled online by fans and underestimated by roster members in the back. Nicholas then says The Elite challenges AEW’s best in a Blood & Guts Match. Matthew Jackson then informs Strickland that while they don’t love what he’s said about them, they like his style. Matthew then says that Strickland is young and a champion like them, then he invites Strickland to be the fifth member of The Elite’s Blood & Guts team. Matthew then presents Strickland with a couple of The Young Bucks’ sneakers as a present and Strickland takes them. Strickland then tells The Elite they got his shoe size wrong and no one wears pearl necklaces anymore. Strickland then says he’s a businessman who does his own stuff, then has Nana toss The Young Bucks’ sneakers into the crowd.
Matthew then says there’s something making a buzz sound and it’s the injury bug about to bite Strickland. Strickland then prepares to fight The Elite alone, but The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn make their way down to the ring to even the odds. The Elite then slides out of the ring and Christopher Daniels appears on the ramp. Daniels tells everyone at ringside to head to the back except for Jack Perry, who will be having his TNT Championship Ladder Match Qualifier against Dustin Rhodes up next. Rhodes then makes his way down to the ring.
The match starts off with Rhodes delivering some right hands on Perry. Rhodes then hits Perry with a chop, but Perry responds with a few strikes of his own. Rhodes then hits a lariat on Perry before Perry exposes the middle turnbuckle and sends Rhodes crashing out of the ring. Rhodes then gets Perry up on his shoulders, but Perry escapes and sends Rhodes crashing into the ring post and the ring steps. Perry then exposes the concrete, but Rhodes hits Perry with a back body drop on top of the concrete. Perry then has a chair in hand, but the referee confiscates it from him. Perry then jams his knee into the back of Rhodes’ neck, but Rhodes hits Perry with a powerslam and follows it up with a bulldog. Rhodes then delivers some right hands on Perry in the corner, then grabs the chair in the ring. The referee then disposes of the chair and Rhodes low blows Perry in the corner while she’s distracted. Rhodes then hits The Bionic Elbow on Perry and follows it up with the Cross-Rhodes before he goes for a pin. Perry then kicks out.
Perry then lands a knee on Rhodes’ midsection, then sends him crashing into the exposed middle turnbuckle and looks to pin him. Rhodes then rolls out of the ring before Perry can and Perry follows him out there. Perry then hits a DDT on Rhodes on the exposed concrete and Perry gets back in the ring. The referee then begins a ten count, but Rhodes beats it. While the referee is looking away, Perry hits a low blow on Rhodes. Rhodes then flips Perry off, but Perry brushes it off and hits a running knee on Rhodes for the win.
