In a pre-tape, Roderick Strong was interviewed. He showed pictures of himself as a kid and said his parents didn’t know how to be parents. His mother had drug issues and his father had problems with alcohol. It got so bad that his sister left. Wrestling gave him an opportunity and it is his everything. He grew up alone an he’s going to win the Grand Slam tournament alone that starts tonight.

Fletcher moved out of the way and Jericho flew into Guevera. Fletcher rolled up Jericho for a two-count. Jericho hit Fletcher with the Judas Effect and pinned him.

After the match, Jericho was talking to Guevera and Guevera pushed him and turned around. Jericho turned him back around and Guevera pushed him again. They began pushing each other until security came in to break it up. Guevera left through the crowd.
They showed footage of the Bryan Danielson – Ricky Starks strap match from All Out. Starks said he proved a point to Danielson and to AEW. He didn’t tap out and there is nobody that can make him tap out.
Backstage, Don Callis said Takeshita said they made history as they beat Kenny Omega twice in seven days. They are going to celebrate it next week in Cincinnati as well as reveal who their next target is going to be.
In the ring, MJF said he will be defending the AEW Championship on September 20th at Arthur Ashe Stadium. He said there is one person that needs to be taught a lesson. Samoa Joe came out. MJF said Joe came out here so quickly because he must have confused his ring entrance music with an ice cream truck. Joe said the last time he had anything to do with an ice cream truck was when he was busy being the biggest star of the other company’s network. Samoa Joe called him a kid and asked him what his problem was. Joe said when he got a tryout in WWE as a 19-year old, he was supposed to walk Joe to the ring, but Joe shoved him into a brick wall and laughed. MJF said he’s not a kid anymore and he’s full grown. Joe said he didn’t think of MJF as a kid when he threw him into the wall. He thought that he was a little bitch. MJF slapped Joe. Joe said he’s not going to take his bait and ruin his opportunity. He’s going to win the tournament and come after him. MJF turned around and as he was leaving the ring, Joe kicked the ropes which crotched MJF. Joe laid the boots to him, took off MJF’s belt from around his waist, and raised it in the air. MJF gave Joe a low blow and bit him. MJF charged at Joe but Joe caught him and gave him an Uranage. He was setting up MJF for the Muscle Buster when Adam Cole hit the ring causing Joe to leave. As MJF and Cole were leaving the ring, Roderick Strong, Matt Taven, and Mike Bennett were on their way to the ring and Strong again argued with Cole for being friends with MJF.
Grand Slam World Title Eliminator Tournament Quarter-Final
Trent Beretta (w/ Chuck Taylor) vs. Roderick Strong (w/ Mike Bennett & Matt Taven)
Beretta gave Strong a piledriver, but Strong got his foot on the bottom rope. Strong hit Beretta with a jumping knee strike and followed it up with the End of Heartache to pin him.
===Winner: Roderick Strong
Backstage, Storm said she doesn’t remember costing Ruby Soho her shot at winning the title from Kris Statlander. Next week there will be a four-way with the winner going on to face Saraya for the AEW Women’s Championship.
In the ring, Adam Page said his Battle Royal money is going towards the Chicago Educational System. Prince Nana and Swerve Strickland interrupted Adam Page. Strickland said you get a new perspective being in a coffin for two weeks and the first person he thought about when he got out was Page. Strickland said it seems like Page lost his way as he wrestled on the pre-show of All Out. He took a back seat to The Elite. Strickland said he is coming for Page’s spot that he doesn’t seem to want. Page said he’s done with this and he walked away. Strickland said it’s a shame Page’s wife and kids have to see him walk away from his responsibilities. Page came back in the ring but Brian Cage hit Page from behind and gave him a piledriver and the Drill Claw.
Grand Slam World Title Eliminator Tournament Quarter-Final
