MJF vs. Wardlow
As the main show starts, MJF’s music plays and he does eventually come out to a sea of boos and he doesn’t look too pleased. Wardlow was being held in a holding cell before being escorted out with no music, security guards, and wearing cuffs, but got a big reaction from the crowd. As soon as Wardlow gets in the ring and takes off his handcuffs, MJF retreats to the outside and tells the referee to back Wardlow up. MJF finally gets inside and the bell rings, as he goes to the outside yet again. As MJF gets inside and attacks Wardlow from behind, the crowd chants ‘He showed up’. Wardlow goes for the powerbomb right away, but MJF escapes to the outside yet again. Wardlow chases him in and out of the ring for a bit until MJF comes in and tries a sunset flip to no avail. Wardlow tries the powerbomb again, but MJF bites the top of Wardlow’s head. They go back and forth for a bit until MJF counters another powerbomb attempt with a hurricanrana and gets a two-count, as he starts acting like his left leg is hurt, but the fans and Wardlow aren’t falling for it. MJF goes to put on his diamond ring, but Bryce Remsburg catches him and takes it away. MJF begs off and tells Wardlow he will double and quadruple his pay. Wardlow shakes his hand just to hold on to it, kick MJF in the midsection, and finally hits the powerbomb on MJF. The crowd chants for more so Wardlow hits four more, goes for the pin but steps off at two. Wardlow hits the sixth and seventh powerbomb and just starts playing with the crowd. Wardlow hits three more to make it an even 10 powerbombs and finally gets the pin.

Tony Schiavone joins Wardlow at the top of the stage and says that Tony Khan has announced that Wardlow is All Elite as the graphic comes up and the crowd chants ‘you deserve it’.

Page does the GTS taunt as fans boo. Page goes for it, but Punk grabs the ropes, hits a roundhouse kick but Page catches him and hits the GTS as Punk kicks out. They get on their knees and start trading punches. They stand and keep going until Page hits a boot, followed by one from Punk before they go spilling to the outside with a clothesline where Page tosses Punk over the ring keeper’s table. Page lifts his table and says this is his and Punk will never have it. Page sets up for the Buckshot Lariat, but Punk catches him in a GTS but it knocks the referee down, before they both come crashing down as well. Page goes and grabs his title and tells Punk to get up so he can hit him with it. Page seems conflicted and tosses the title down, instead going for the Buckshot Lariat again, but Punk counters it and hits the GTS for the pin and the win.
Winner: CM Punk by pinfall at 25:53, to become NEW AEW World Champion
