Nightingale then says those are the words she lives by and she can cry nonstop if she doesn’t look on the bright side. Nightingale then says she does it for herself, the fans and for everyone, but Kris Statlander and Stokely Hathaway mock her for just that.

We then get a video package recapping “The Scapegoat” Jack Perry winning the 6-Man Ladder Match at Forbidden Door to become the new AEW TNT Champion.

ROH World Champion Mark Briscoe is now shown waiting in the ring as he will address the AEW fans.

Mark Briscoe starts off by saying while they may call him a chicken, he’s not scared of anything. Briscoe then says Jack Perry got lucky last week when he emerged victorious in the 6-Man Ladder Match at Forbidden Door to win the TNT Championship. Briscoe then says he’s no longer worried about last week, but he’s worried about Shark Week and AEW Blood & Guts. Briscoe then officially announces himself as the first member of Team AEW in the match. Jack Perry then blindsides Mark Briscoe and nails him with the TNT Championship.

We then head to the back, where Renee Paquette is speaking with Jeff Jarrett, Karen Jarrett, Satnam Singh, Jay Lethal and Sonjay Dutt.

We then see Tony Schiavone waiting in the ring and he introduces Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. and she makes her way down to the ring to address the AEW fans.

Britt Baker starts off by telling the AEW fans that she has missed them and while she was thinking about what she wanted to say in her first promo back, she decided just to talk to the fans. Baker then says she wants to talk about three things tonight: the past, the present and the future. Baker then says that the fans surely have been wondering where she’s been for the last ten months. Baker then says she had a couple herniated discs and a torn hip labrum. Baker then says she convinced herself she was good until she started feeling really sick one day. Baker then says she looked to open a bottle of water, but she couldn’t because her entire right side wouldn’t work. Baker then says she was diagnosed with a mini stroke and she told Tony Khan she needed to stay at home for a while. Baker then says in this present moment, she is cleared to return to action. Baker then says she has never been more nervous than she was returning at Forbidden Door she was worried no one would care if she walked through the curtain. Baker then says that rejection is irrational, but it’s persistent. Baker then says the fans welcomed her back with open arms and she will always be in their corner.

Baker then says that when one is going through a hard time, be present and feel it all because it will feel even better once you get through it. Baker then says everyone possesses the impulse to be Elite, then says there’s a new Elite female face in AEW: Mercedes Moné. Baker then says Moné worked hard to earn the three letters of CEO and it’s brilliant to manipulate fans into cheering them by incorporating them into her entrance music. Baker then says fans don’t need music to tell Moné that the only three letters that matter in AEW are DMD. We then see a car pull up to the Wintrust Arena and Mercedes Moné gets out. Moné is then greeted by The Young Bucks and she makes her way down to the ring as the ring gets set up for her TBS Championship/NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship double celebration. Moné then tells Chicago it’s time to celebrate with their double champion. Baker then says she outshined her moment at Forbidden Door and now Moné is trying to do the same thing to her. Moné then says she made Forbidden Door famous when she became a double champion and she should’ve known that Baker would try to steal her moment. Moné then tells Baker to get a good look at what a star looks like. Baker then says she wrestled at the very first All In in Chicago and she was the first woman to sign with AEW. Baker then recalls wrestling at Wembley Stadium at All In last year while Moné was injured, then challenges Moné to a match at All In. Moné then cuts Baker off and tells Baker to go to the back of the line and Baker asks Moné what line she is referring to. Moné then says since she’s a fan, she knows she’s about to say that there’s a price to pay when you mess with Moné. Both women then stare each other down as Moné holds up the TBS Championship and the NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship.

Highlights from the main event at last weekend’s Forbidden Door is then shown.

Ospreay then says he owes Callis a lot, but he now wants out of the Callis Family. Fletcher then looks surprised and Callis says he’s not normally in the habit of letting people out of signed agreements, but he is proud of Ospreay and what he’s done with his life and in AEW. Callis then says he is happy to do a favor for Ospreay, then adds that maybe one day he will ask Ospreay for a favor. Callis then hugs Ospreay and tells him that he will be the world champion and he is proud of him. Callis and Fletcher then leaves.

FTW Champion “The Learning Tree” Chris Jericho then makes his way out with a contract folder in hand and waves to the crowd. Jericho says he wasn’t booked for the show so he decided to sit in on commentary. Jericho then brings up HOOK using his finisher and says it’s the ultimate sign of disrespect. Jericho then takes issue with Taz applauding after the match “like a mark.” Jericho then says he can’t trust Taz, so he spoke with Matthew Jackson and Nicholas Jackson.
