Josh Alexander then tags in and Ospreay stays in the match after sharing a look with Hangman. Alexander then takes control with some mat wrestling and made a tag out to Takeshita.

Both men then trade strikes for a moment and trade reversals on a tombstone attempt. Hangman then regains control with a sit out Powerbomb for a near fall.

Hangman then tags out to Ospreay, who enters to hit a standing shooting star press for a near fall. He then sends Takeshita into the corner and hits him with a chop.

Hangman then manages to shove Alexander back towards his corner and make a quick tag to Ospreay. He then takes out both Takeshita and Alexander with an aerial strike.

We then get a video package to hype up the main event between Samoa Joe and Jon Moxley in a Steel Cage Match.

We then head to the back, where Top Flight promises that MJF is going to get what is coming to him. They also reiterate that they still wanted The Hurt Business and a shot at the AEW World Tag Team Titles. Dustin Rhodes then shows up and tells them to use the doubters as fuel to prove them wrong and win the Tag Titles.

Ricochet then makes his way down to the ring for the next match of the night and Zach Gowen follows.

The match starts off with Gowen using his crouching wrestling style to baffle Ricochet, who gets frightened by it and escapes to the floor. Gowen then does a springboard splash to the floor. He then applies a headlock and delivers some strikes, but Ricochet breaks free and shoves Gowen into the barricade right in front of his son.

Ricochet then gains control and hits a big 450. Gowen then kicks out at two. He then hits a Shooting Star Press and gets the same result. He then hits his Vertigo finisher and once again to get a close near fall. Ricochet then shows some frustration and pulls his golden scissors out from the turnbuckle pad.

Gowen then goes up top for a big moonsault, but Ricochet is able to get out of the way. He then follows it up with the Spirit Gun elbow for the win.

The winner of the Singles Match, Ricochet!

After the match, Ricochet continues the attack and hits another Spirit Gun. He then hits another running kick. Mark Briscoe then makes his way down to the ring and runs off Ricochet, who bails immediately.

We then head to the back, where MJF is interviewed by Renee Paquette. She asks about getting a yes from the Hurt Syndicate. He says they will become a four headed dragon and it will be inevitable that he becomes the AEW World Champion one more time. Renee then asks MJF if he had given any thought to what they will do to him if they said no and MJF is speechless. MVP and the Hurt Syndicate then walks up and tells MJF that it was imperative for him to meet them in the ring after their match.

The Hurt Syndicate then make their way down to the ring for the next match of the night and Top Flight follows.

Benjamin then clears Darius away from the ring as Lashley locks in the Hurt Lock and Dante is out cold as the referee calls for the bell.

After the match, the beatdown continues on Dante until Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara make their way out to put a stop to it, running them down before issuing a potential challenge for the AEW World Tag Team Titles. This is then interrupted by the arrival of CRU, with Action Andretti running the ROH World Tag Team Champions. The crowd then tells them to shut up as Lio Rush addresses the champions in the ring. Rush says CRU want a shot at the titles, but Dustin tells him they are not gonna cut in line. The confrontation is then interrupted by MVP, telling them they can fight it out on Collision and the winners can get their AEW World Tag Team Title opportunity. MVP then asks the fans to stick around as MJF is finally going to get what he deserves when they come back.

We then. see MVP ask MJF to come down to the ring. MJF didn’t immediately come out and MVP sends Shelton to the back to go find him. MJF is hiding behind the production table where Tony Khan sits and Shelton drags him down to the ring. MVP then gives his thumbs up for a vote and Shelton follows with his. Bobby then places his arm around MJF’s shoulder and his thumb wavered up and down a bit before giving a thumbs up. MJF then jumps into Lashley’s arms, who immediately shoves him to the floor. MJF then climbs the corners and starts chanting “We hurt people” while smiling. MVP then announces that MJF will have his official contract signing with The Hurt Syndicate next week.

We then get a look at NJPW Resurgence, where AZM won the NJPW Strong Women’s Championship by pinning Mina Shirakawa in a 3-Way. Mina Shirakawa then makes her way down to the ring and Skye Blue follows.

The match starts off with Mina and AZM trading pinfall attempts while Skye Blue and Toni Storm brawl on the floor. Mina then hits a tornado DDT on AZM on the floor, while Storm and Blue brawl their way back into the ring. Blue then hits a flying head scissors and a tornado DDT of her own. AZM then enters the match and shoves Storm out of the ring. She then brawls with Blue and things reset as all four women are back in the ring.

Mina and Toni then hit stereo Lou Thesz Presses and then confront one another. They then trade strikes and AZM enters the fray and hits a big kick on Shirakawa. Mina then responds with a DDT and then applies a figure four on Toni Storm. Storm then reaches the ropes and rolls to the outside. Mina then dives to the floor and takes out Toni again, but AZM is quick to capitalize and takes Mina out with a dive of her own. Sky Blue then climbs to the top turnbuckle and dives on all three women on the floor.

All four women are back in the ring and they get to their feet to pair off between Skye and Storm and Mina and AZM. The two champions are then dropped to the mat as Blue and Shirakawa trade strikes now, but they get taken down as Storm hits a suplex on AZM sending her to the corner, with All three opponent in the corners. Storm then runs the bases with hip attacks. Mina is up and goes after her until AZM and Skye get involved, with AZM being sent to the outside before Mina goes after Blue. She then gets hit with a dropkick by Storm.

She then clears the ring before hitting a Sky High on Skye Blue, but turns her attention to Mina instead of pinning and this costs her as Mina sends her out before going after Blue. Code Blue is then blocked as AZM comes in, who counters out of another attempt to drop Skye for a near fall before Storm breaks it up. Storm Zero is then hit on AZM for the cover, but Mina breaks the pin to save the match for herself. Rolling elbow is then hit by Mina. Storm then dodges a second one for a small package, but Mina counters with a small package of her own for the win.

She then applies a crossface momentarily, but is interrupted by security before hits a Hayterade Lariat.

We then get a tribute for Sabu. Taz then offers his words of love and support before commentary points to the sky in Sabu’s honor.

We then head to the back and hear from MJF ahead of his signing with the Hurt Syndicate. Mark Sterling then shows up to say hello. MVP then asks about the presence of the lawyer, but MJF insists it’s just a business matter as one would not want to sign a contract without legal representation. MVP then agrees and they shake hands before walking off.

We then hear from Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness, with Nigel apologizing to Tony for his actions at Collision. He then offers an apology to Daniel Garcia as well and Garcia makes his way down to the ring. We then get a look back at what went down last Thursday night. Nigel then apologizes to Garcia, admitting his place is at the announce table and not inside the ring but Garcia says he can keep his apology to himself. Garcia then says Nigel did exactly what he was supposed to do. Garcia then says FTR disrespected him and he stood up for himself. Garcia then says FTR has tried to end his career and Copeland’s and perhaps Nigel as well. Garcia then says he is gonna fight these guys with or without Nigel, but it would be an honor if he would stand beside him and fight FTR.

This then brings out Stokely Hathaway running Daniel Garcia and Nigel McGuinness down, with FTR not there tonight as he says Nigel’s actions were egregious. Stokely then asks Nigel what his problem is, to which Nigel says when someone puts their hands on him he puts his hands on them. Stokely then mocks Nigel’s fake apology before telling him there are consequences for his actions. Stokely then says he and FTR talked it over and Nigel’s punishment should be getting in the ring with the greatest tag team alive in an official match, so that they wouldn’t be suspended for what they’ll do to him. Nigel then says he knows they might kill him so he initially turns down competing in the ring, but Garcia talks about seeing Nigel overcoming the odds his entire career.

Stokely then continues to poke the bear as he talks about Nigel being the Al Bundy of AEW, trying to relive his glory days. Stokely then says there’s no way Nigel can beat FTR and he could barely beat hepatitis. This then causes Nigel to drop the mic, possibly looking to square up with Stokely, but FTR blindside him and Garcia. They then start a beatdown until Daddy Magic makes his way down to the ring for the save, forcing FTR and Stokely to regroup up the ramp. Dax then tears a pro-FTR sign out of frustration as commentary announces a tribute to Steve “Mongo” McMichael for Collision: Beach Break on Saturday as well as Anna Jay vs. Megan Bayne and Blake Christian vs. “Speedball” Mike Bailey.

We then see the steel cage up high ready to be brought down for the main event of the night.

Samoa Joe then makes his way down to the ring for the main event of the night as we see the steel cage in place for this AEW World Championship Match. Jon Moxley then makes his way down to the ring next with Marina Shafir holding the briefcase presumably containing the AEW World Championship.

Joe is struggling to break free, but he is able to turn over to reverse the pressure before forcing a rope break. Moxley then hits Joe with a big boot to take control of the match.

Joe then manages to get back into the match as we see that Moxley is busted open. Both men then trade strikes as we notice The Death Riders, Willow and Swerve are out at ringside keeping an eye on things. Moxley then takes control before heading to the corner, looking to escape, but Joe hits him with an atomic drop twice. Joe then hits a senton on Moxley and gets a two count. Moxley then escapes to the ropes to stop Joe’s momentum, only for Joe to intercept Moxley in the corner. Moxley takes a bite out of Joe before hopping to the mat. Joe then hits a chop on Moxley. Moxley then fights back with some strikes before Joe hits a boot. Moxley then responds with a cutter for a two count. Moxley then looks for a cross arm breaker, but Joe clasps Moxley’s arms to fight it off. Moxley then goes for the bulldog choke.

Joe is fading and the referee checks his arm. Joe then fights back to his feet. Moxley then hits Joe with a Paradigm Shift and goes for the cover, but Joe kicks out. Joe then escapes a second Paradigm Shift attempt, locking in the Coquina Clutch. Claudio then climbs up the side of the cage, but is cut off by Willow. Yuta then faces the wrath of Powerhouse Hobbs on the other side. We then see someone in a hoodie handing over the briefcase to Moxley and Moxley hits a nasty shot on Joe for the win.

The winner of the Steel Cage Match and still the AEW World Champion, The Death Riders’ Jon Moxley!

After the match, we see Gabe Kidd take his hood off, shouting as he backs up the ramp. The cage is then raised as Hobbs goes after Kidd on the ramp, only to take a shot in the back by Castagnoli that barely fazes him. Kidd then hits Powerhouse with a low blow before he heads into the ring with the Death Riders. The Young Bucks then make their way down to the ring, looking to shake hands with Jon Moxley before Kenny Omega makes his way down the ramp. He then fights them off until Okada comes running down, sending Omega into the ring before the Death Riders and The Young Bucks lay in a beatdown as the cage is lowered back down. Bailey then fights off Okada to the back while the Bucks and the Riders continue beating up Joe and Omega until Swerve Strickland makes his way down to the ring.

He then goes up the side of the cage, getting the drop on the heels inside for the save. Matthew then tries to get the cage back up so they can make their escape, regrouping on the ramp as Swerve addresses being back in this city after what happened at All Out 2024. He then calls himself the fear, the most dangerous man in AEW and talks about wanting to cause a little anarchy. Swerve then says Double Or Nothing, Phoenix, Arizona, Anarchy in the Arena. Swerve’s music then hits and we see the Riders and the Bucks looking none too pleased about the challenge and the show comes to a close.
