Live Coverage
- The show opened with shots of individuals entering the arena. Hangman Page is seen talking to Christopher Daniels, who is attempting to convince him of the advantages of collaborating with others in the locker room, even those he may not prefer to assist. Jon Moxley is spotted walking behind Hangman, sending the rest of his Death Riders after his next challenger.
* Swerve Strickland vs. Will Ospreay ends in a time limit draw (30:00)
- Swerve Strickland demanded sudden death overtime. Suddenly, the Death Riders (Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli, Marina Shafir, and Claudio Castagnoli) swarmed the ringside area. Strickland was focused on them when Matthew Jackson and Nicholas Jackson blindsided him from behind. The Young Bucks handcuffed Strickland to the middle rope. Wheeler then tossed them a bag containing custom Swerve sneakers with thumbtacks on the bottom. They went for a Double Superkick, but Will Ospreay dove in at the last second to take the hit for his rival.
- Earlier in the day, The Hurt Syndicate brutally attacked Komander backstage, during which MJF was seen holding his mask. The commentary noted that Mascara Dorada would take Komander's place in the six-man tag later tonight.
* Mistico def. Blake Christian
- After the match, MVP brought out MJF to confront Mistico. MJF praised himself as the industry's most well-rounded wrestler and vowed to rip off his “dime store mask” at Grand Slam. Maxwell said that he still looked at him as sloppy Sin Cara, which got a huge pop. MJF is also bringing back his super Americana persona from last year. Mistico interrupted, challenging MJF to face him next week at Arena Mexico, and knocked him down with a punch. This led The Hurt Syndicate's Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin to hit the ring. Just as MJF focused on taking Mistico’s mask, Speedball Mike Bailey, Kevin Knight, and Mascara Dorada ran in for the save from behind.
* Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, & MJF) def. Mike Bailey, Kevin Knight, & Komander
- After the match, Lashley and Benjamin attacked Knight and Bailey, leaving MJF to remove Dorada's mask alone. As he paraded around the ring with it like a trophy, Mistico charged the ring and locked him in an armbar, forcing MJF to tap. The Hurt Syndicate rushed to MJF’s aid as Mistico exited, glaring at his opponent.
- As Hangman Page's music hit, Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta dragged him, bound and beaten, to the ring, where Moxley and Marina Shafir waited. Moxley warned Page to focus on their AEW Title clash, stating that he has four weeks to step up or be eliminated. Page retaliated with a headbutt and narrowly dodged a chair attack before Samoa Joe, Shibata, and Hobbs drove off the Death Riders. Page vowed to hunt them down and fight for the title at any cost, even riding through death itself.
* TayJay (Anna Jay & Tay Melo) def. Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford
- A video package chronicled the legendary rivalry between Kazuchika Okada and Kenny Omega..
- In the ring with Tony Schiavone, Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada signed the contract for their All In match, unveiling a new Unified Title. After shaking hands and exchanging tense remarks, Don Callis interrupted, insisting that Konosuke Takeshita be included in the match. Omega dismissed him, but Okada suddenly attacked Omega with the Continental Title. Callis handed Okada a weapon to do further damage to Omega, leaving him bloodied and needing a stretcher. Okada delivered an elbow drop onto the stretcher. All of this caused Kenny to spew blood from his mouth.
* Kyle Fletcher def. Anthony Bowens
- A video package highlighted Maxwell Jacob Friedman's portrayal of an American hero character from the previous year.
- Former WWE broadcaster Carlos Cabrera promoted the AEW-CMLL partnership before Grand Slam Mexico, introducing lucha legend Atlantis and his son. However, FTR and Stokely Hathaway interrupted, insulting Atlantis' age and boasting about their own dominance. As tensions rose and a brawl broke out, Adam Cole tried to intervene. Still, the Don Callis Family escalated the situation until Mistico, Bandido, and Brody King arrived to level the playing field. After a brawl, Atlantis triumphed by taking down Harwood and pursuing him through the crowd, while the luchadors maintained momentum heading into Mexico.

* "Timeless" Toni Storm def. Julia Hart (Mercedes Mone on commentary)
- Toni Storm celebrated her victory, unaware that Mercedes Mone had entered the ring. After helping Storm up, Mone attacked her with punches until Mina Shirakawa rushed in to help. However, Mone quickly took Shirakawa down and raised the AEW Women’s Title, warning Storm to kiss it goodbye.
- Ricochet roasted Blake Christian in an interview backstage. He told Christian that while he's a good hand in the ring, it's embarrassing that he's just a clone of Ricochet.
* The Conglamoration (Mark Briscoe, Tomohiro Ishii & Willow Nightingale) def. MxM Collection (Mason Madden & Mansoor) & Taya Valkyrie
