Jungle Boy starts things out with Adam Cole, and the former WWE star starts out aggressively. The two men then avoid knee strikes from each other, but the younger wrestler then connects with a dropkick to take control. Cole responds with a sharp knee to the chest, and in comes Bobby Fish, who starts working the arm.

However, Luchasaurus tags in and starts dropping every one in sight with big heavy chops. The heels end up on the outside and the big man tries to moonsault, but Fish kicks his leg away on the ring apron. He then gets sent into the ring post, and Fish continues his attack. O'Reilly then gets involved and starts beating down the bigger man in the corner, as they make frequent tags.

Adam Cole then tags in and he begins to isolate Jungle Boy, allowing Fish to get back involved and start unloading with knee strikes.

- FTR are backstage, and Cash Wheeler says Tully Blanchard had lost focus, and when you do that, you lose the job. Dax says things got out of hand, but this leads to The Young Bucks appearing. They joke about their style and hair, and say it doesn't matter if they hire the best there is. But they'll always be the second best.

- The Acclaimed are shown backstage cutting a promo on Keith Lee. But Ricky Starks breaks them up and tells them it's about time they deal with the new faces. However, Shane Strickland appears, telling him Friday's is now Swerve's house.

- The Jericho Appreciation Society are out next for their announcement. Matt Lee says if it was up to him, there would be no sing-a-long, but that's why Jericho is a better man than him. Jeff Parker says that's why he deserves to be idolized for his contributions to the industry and as a human.

Chris then tells the fans they're lucky to be alive in his era. For over 30 years, people have lived through him and his great matches and promos. He even builds companies like this one, he says with no Jericho, there is no AEW. However, he says the fans take him for granted, he reads what they write on social media and it is hurtful.

Jericho says the people don't appreciate him, the roster of AEW doesn't appreciate him, and neither did The Inner Circle. Sammy walked out on him, Santana and Ortiz disrespected him, and their friend Eddie Kingston embarrassed him. Chris says these men appreciate him. They appreciate each other, because they can't relate to the rest of the roster. They're nothing more than pro wrestlers.

Chris says a pro wrestler hasn't been a legendary millionaire, but Jericho isn't that. He is a sports entertainer. Daniel Garcia then says if Jericho is going to call himself a sports entertainer, then he is too. Jericho says Garcia appreciates him because there was a car crash where one wrestler got injured, and Jericho had never heard of them.

He donated money to them, and then he walked again. Jericho says he got a call a year ago from his former best friend Kevin, who wanted him to put his friends on his podcast, those men were 2.0. Then they got hired, and that's why they appreciate him. Jericho also says 2.0 is a stupid name, and he gives them new ones, which he says are their real ones.

Jericho then says Jake Hager is his right-hand man, and he is the hand of the king. Hager says they are the JAS, and they beat up pro wrestlers. Jericho says this is the latest reinvention and the date that the era of the sports entertainer begins. He tells us that is entertainment.

- Serena Deeb cuts a backstage video package, making it clear she's going to end the career of Hikaru Shida.

Matt works the arm of Quen, and Jeff then comes in as the brothers work together, which includes some classic Hardys offense as he runs and leaps off his brother's back.

Matt then works his way back in, but he gets rattled with an enziguri. Isiah Kennedy comes in and the duo hit a good double team of their own.

Steel Cage AEW Women's Championship Match

Britt Baker (c) vs. Thunder Rosa

Thunder Rosa gets a big entrance with a band, and she comes out to a huge reaction in front of her own fans. Britt Baker tries to climb the cage immediately, but Rosa pulls her down for a fight. This is something Britt does several times, with Rosa pulling her down each time.  Rosa hits a big kick to the face and then a clothesline to drop the champion.

Rosa then looks to use the environment, launching Britt head-first into the steel. We are wasting no time with the blood here, Britt is bust open and she gets dragged across the steel by her face to make that worse. Thunder then continues to exploit the injury slamming her into the steel repeatedly.

However, Britt fights back, pushing Rosa into the steel herself several times. The champion then hooks Thunder around the ropes and starts slapping her. Britt hammers in several knee shots as well, with the challenger also now bleeding. This time it is Rosa's time to eat the steel, as Britt launches her into it.

The champion then pulls out a bunch of chairs from under the ring, but she misses when attacking Thunder, and she charges in with several clotheslines.
