In the ring, Jack Perry called out Jerry Lynn. Lynn said there isn’t a doctor who would clear him, but I did call somebody who wrestled for ECW who still wrestles today. Rob Van Damn came to the ring and Perry left. Perry returned with a chair and tried to hit RVD from behind, but RVD turned around in time to see him and Perry left the ring again.
In a pre-taped interview, Hikaru Shida said she’s going to beat Toni Storm tonight. Storm said Shida was the best at the time she held the title, but now we have the Outcasts and she is going to beat Shida.

Winner: Trent Beretta
After the match, Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta started to make their way to the ring, but Orange Cassidy and Chuck Taylor came from behind and they brawled to the ring. Taylor challenged the BCC to a parking lot fight on Rampage.
Backstage, RVD challenged Jack Perry to a match next week for the FTW championship. He said in the past, he inflates the championships and then retires the title.
In the ring, MJF said he suffers from Attention Deficit Disorder. With this disorder, he also suffers from Rejection Sensitive Disorder so he can’t regulate rejection based emotions or behavior. He’s been bullied, abused, cheated on, lied to, battered, and beaten up, and he’s blacked most of it at, but he does remember the day when kids walked up to him with their hands filled with quarters and threw them as hard as they could and said, pick them up Jew boy. He can still feel the sensation of the quarters hitting their skin. He thought at that point, everybody is evil and if he wanted to survive, he had to stab everybody in the back before they stabbed him. He now knows that is not the way to live because he ended up becoming one of them and became a scumbag. He knows it’s easy to get the crowd to hate him, but it’s hard to be vulnerable. He knows if he opened as Max to the crowd and they would boo him, it would kill him because it would bring him back to that kid getting quarters thrown at him. He’s not scared anymore and that’s because of the crowd. They taught him they do care about Max. He said he is not going to change overnight. He’s still a scumbag, but he’s your scumbag. The person who taught him that living with hate in his heart is not the way to live and that he does deserve a friend is Adam Cole. Cole said MJF impresses him more and more everyday and he’s not alone. For years, he was also a jerk because he was scared and didn’t understand what a man was and Max is now becoming the man he’s supposed to be. The fans want to cheer Max and they know deep down, there is a good guy inside of him. MJF said he called him out there because he promised him that after their match for the World Tag Team titles that he would grant him a shot at the AEW Championship. He thought about it and he came to the conclusion that he doesn’t deserve a match, he deserves a match at Wembley at All In and handed him the contract to sign. Cole signed the contract and they hugged.
In the back, Roderick Strong looked upset at the MJF-Cole situation. Mike Bennett and Matt Taven showed up and Taven told Strong that Cole always forgets about his real friends.
The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, & Nick Jackson) (w/ Brandon Cutler) vs Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett, & Satnam Singh) (w/ Sonjay Dutt & Karen Angle)
Omega hit Singh with the V-Trigger. Karen Angle got on the ring apron which distracted the referee. Dutt came in and clipped Omega. Cutler sprayed Karen in the eyes. Dutt hit Cutler. Matt & Jeff Hardy ran down and attacked Dutt. Jeff went for the guitar shot, but Omega ducked. Adam Page gave Jeff the Buckshot Lariat. Lethal went to hit Omega with the guitar, but Omega ducked and hit him with the V-Trigger and the One Winged Angel and pinned him.
===Winners: The Elite
After the match, Page said The Elite re-signed with AEW.
Backstage, AR Fox said if Darby was so close to him, why didn’t he thank him when he got signed by AEW. Darby never called him for five years until he saw him backstage. He’s now going to take away everything he gave him. They showed a clip of Swerve Strickland and AR Fox going to the Buddy Wayne Academy and beating up and bloodying Nick Wayne.
ROH World Tag Team Championship Match:
Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis) (Champions) vs El Hijo del Vikingo & Komander (w/ Alex Abrahantes)
Vikingo and Komander both came off the rope with a 450 splash on Davis, but Fletcher broke up the pin. Komander missed a shooting star press on Davis. Davis gave Komander an enziguri. Fletcher tagged in. Davis and Fletcher gave him a clothesline from the front and back of his neck. They dropped Komander on his neck and Fletcher pinned him.
===Winners: Aussie Open
AEW Women’s World Championship Match:
Toni Storm (Champion) (w/ Saraya & Ruby Soho) vs Hikaru Shida
Saraya threw in the kendo stick. Storm and Shida both grabbed it, but Shida got it away from Storm. Shida threatened to hit Storm with it. The referee told her not to use it. Soho got on the ring apron and Shida hit her with the kendo stick. Shida threw down the stick. When the referee turned around to pick it up and get it out of the ring, Storm sprayed Shida in the eyes with the spray can. Storm went for the pin, but only got a two-count. Storm went for a sunset flip, but Shida reversed it and pinned her to win the title.
===Winner and new AEW Women’s World Champion: Hikaru Shida
