The show opens up with Tony Schiavone standing in the ring. He then introduces Master P and Master P makes his way down to the ring. Master P does his “UHHHH!” bit and he introduces new AEW World Trios Champions The Opps. The Opps (Samoa Joe, HOOK and Powerhouse Hobbs) then make their way down to the ring as Master P does more of his bit. Samoa and Master P did some call and response with the crowd and Joe says they were there to celebrate. Joe then thanks Master P for everything he does for the City of New Orleans and they plug his charity for Student Athletes.

Before Joe can formally begin his celebration, the Death Riders music plays and Marina Shafir walks out through the crowd. They swarm The Opps in the ring using Shafir as a distraction and Moxley chokes Joe against the ropes. Moxley then comes face to face with Master P, but before he can do anything Joe locks in the Coquina clutch from behind. Master P then manages to get in a few cheap shots to the gut. He then narrates the events as Jon Moxley is put to sleep.

The Young Bucks and Kazuchika Okada then make their way down and bail out Moxley by hitting Joe with a chair. As Moxley gets to his feet, Marina Shafir makes her way back to the ring and ushers Moxley away to prevent him from speaking with The Young Bucks. Swerve Strickland’s music then hits and he makes his way down to the ring to run off The Bucks. Kenny Omega’s music then hits and he walks out on stage. The Young Bucks and Death Riders then bail out from the ringside area and head to the back through the crowd. The Opps are left standing tall with Omega and Swerve. Joe then gets on the microphone and addresses Jon Moxley. Joey says if he wanted him, he’s got him and he will choke him out and take back his AEW World Championship.

We then head to the back, where Renee Paquette is interviewing with The Patriarchy and new ROH World TV Champion Nick Wayne. Paquette congratulates Nick, but Christian takes the title and the credit for Wayne winning the Championship.

Stokely Hathaway then makes his way out to the ramp-way and he introduces FTR. FTR then make their way out and they all make their way down to the ring together and join Tony Schiavone in the ring. Hathaway says “Hangman” Adam Page has committed arson, Ricochet uses his scissors to hurt people and all of what Jon Moxley does is crimes. Hathaway then says he’ll have Cash Wheeler’s suspension from AEW expunged from his permanent record. Wheeler then says what happened last week with Daniel Garcia wasn’t easy for him and Dax Harwood. Wheeler then says Garcia made his own decision and 2.0 were the ones who said they wanted to fight FTR. Wheeler then says 2.0 weren’t ready to fight and Harwood and himself put AEW and Cope before themselves but that won’t be happen any longer.

Harwood then shouts out Rock N’ Roll Express and invites them into the ring. Harwood then says the Rock N’ Roll Express are one of the greatest tag teams of all time and asks them what they think their greatest match was, then shares that his favorite Rock N’ Roll Express was their match against the Midnight Express. Harwood then says that the Midnight Express was a better tag team than the Rock N’ Roll Express, then makes fun of their age. Ricky Morton then cuts Harwood off and says he and Robert Gibson will not be disrespected, but FTR attacks the Rock N’ Roll Express and hits an assisted piledriver on Morton. The Paragon (AEW TNT Champion Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly and Roderick Strong) then make their way down to the ring to come to the aid of the Rock N’ Roll Express.

The Hurt Syndicate (“The All Mighty” Bobby Lashley, “The Standard of Excellence” Shelton Benjamin and MVP) then make their way down to the ring. MVP grabs a mic and starts off by putting over Benjamin and Lashley as monsters. Before Lashley can get the microphone and speak, MJF is shown getting out of a sports car backstage. MJF then heads to the ring with a microphone. MJF says he knew they had a good time last week and if they wanted to have a great time for the rest of their lives he just needed three thumbs up. MVP then gives his first thumbs up and Benjamin gives his thumbs up reluctantly.

Benjamin then says he didn’t give MJF a thumbs up because of a bunch of broads and a watch, he did it because of MVP. MJF then says we all love MVP and our good friend Bob. Lashley then puts his thumbs in the middle and MJF asks for a second. MJF tells Lashley he brings a lot to the table and brings some things to the table that Bobby doesn’t. MJF then says he knows AEW better than anybody and cuts corners better than anybody. MJF then says if he’s in the syndicate they won’t just run AEW, they’ll run professional wrestling. MJF then says they got off on the wrong food and thought he wouldn’t accept blame. MJF then says he will do something he’s never done before.

Hangman then says MJF needs to do something after he beats his ass and he knows he can’t win matches or hang with him in the Owen. MJF then says they are 1-1 and if they meet again, he would send Sea-biscuit back to the Glue Factory. MJF then says if Hangman manages to make it to the finals of the Owen, he will do what he does best and choke him out. Page then says he will give MJF something to choke on and he walks off.
