All Elite Wrestling Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes then makes his entrance and we go to a commercial break.
Back from the commercial break and Cody Rhodes goes to talk, but The Inner Circle interrupt and start blowing air horns.
Cody Rhodes then says that he has an announcement, but AEW World Champion Chris Jericho gets on a mic and yells “Boo!” Cody Rhodes then says that it is nice that they bought tickets, but it is not like the WWE where there is an invisible wall. Cody Rhodes then says that Jericho could step through the ropes, come up there and they could fight. Jericho then tells Pittsburgh to shut their mouths. Jericho then tells Cody Rhodes to stay in the ring where it is safe, because he knows that Cody Rhodes isn’t gonna come up there because he is a coward and just an “entitled millennial b—-.”
Cody Rhodes then takes his coat off and goes to head over the barricade, then stops. Jericho then reminds him that it is 4-1 and tells him to get out of there. Dustin Rhodes’ music hits and he comes out to the stage. MJF’s music hits and he heads out as well. Jericho then says that he isn’t impressed by big brother and somebody who wears a scarf. Jericho then says who the hell wears a scarf. DDP’s music then hits and he joins MJF and Dustin Rhodes. All four of them then head up to the suite. Jericho then yells that they better not take another step. The Inner Circle then heads into a back room and locks the door. There is a big glass window on the door though. MJF then wraps his scarf around Cody’s hand and he punches out the window.
Action then spills out to the concession area. Jericho then grabs a guy’s crutch and swings it at Cody Rhodes. Cody Rhodes then shoves Jericho’s face in some Dippin’ Dots. Garbage cans are then flying as security runs in to get some control. Jericho then holds up his ticket and says that he is allowed to be there. Security then ends up moving Cody Rhodes and his friends out of the area as Jericho yells on and on about his ticket. Jericho is then acting like a big baby as he complains some more. He then gathers his troops and yells at the camera a bit. Cody never got to say very much in the ring or reveal his announcement.
We then get a commercial break.
Back from the commercial break and Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent) are already in the ring for their matchup against The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson).
Before the match could get started, Orange Cassidy walks between Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson’s entrance. They then shove him, but he ends up giving light low superkicks to The Young Bucks. They then return the favor by giving him a double superkick, sending him out of the ring.
The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) def. Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent) via pinfall with More Bang For Your Buck on Chuck Taylor. After the match, Matt Jackson calls out Santana and Ortiz and accepts their challenge for Full Gear.
We then get a video vignette of Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D talking about Pittsburgh being her home. She also said that Pittsburgh is a place she studied to be a dentist and learned to be a pro wrestler. She then said that it will all come full circle tonight and “Welcome to Brittsburgh.”
Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D def. Jaime Hayter via submission with Lockjaw.
Commentary then says that Cody Rhodes is in a “holding facility” after what happened earlier tonight.
We then head backstage where Jamie Hayter goes to talk with Jen Decker about the loss. Brandi Rhodes then comes out of nowhere and shoves the hell out of Hayter. Jen then says “Brandi?!” and touches her on the arm. Brandi then stares at her with a really angered look, almost wanting to attack Decker, but heads off.
We then get a commercial break.
Back from the commercial break and we are just in time for the entrances of the main event.
Before the main event can even get started, PAC hammers Moxley with a chair. PAC then chokes Moxley with his own jacket as the crowd goes off with an “a-hole” chant. PAC then sends Moxley into the barricade. The Referee then asks Moxley if he can still do the match. He then makes his way into the ring and the bell rings.
The main event ends in a time-limit draw. After the match, Moxley is pissed off. He yells at the referee and drops him with a DDT. Another referee comes out, but Moxley stomps at him and he doesn’t bother getting in the ring. “Time limit my ass” Moxley says a few times, with PAC barely awake, as the show comes to a close.
