Paul Heyman and Wardlow are backstage. The wise man tells Wardlow that his match against Triple H was just a minor setback. Wardlow will have a chance again soon enough to show that he’s the biggest, baddest man in AEW and put some gold around his waist.
—
New AEW star Chad Gable is backstage with Taz before his AEW debut match. Taz asks what he’s hoping to accomplish. Gable mentions that he’s a decorated wrestling champion and has represented his country in the Olympics, and has won tag team gold all over. But he’s here in AEW to prove one thing: He can win on his own. His journey starts tonight.

Match 3 - Chad Gable (0-0) vs. Wheeler Yuta (1-1)
Gable and Yuta have a technical back-and-forth match, with Gable working Yuta on the mat. Yuta gets some momentum after hitting a Tope Suicida to the outside, and working on Gable at ringside. Once they get back in the ring, Gable recovers the momentum with a running crossbody and a variety of suplexes - Overhead belly-to-belly; Exploder; Fisherman’s - before eventually hitting the Chaos Theory, which ends in a bridging German Suplex for the win in 13 minutes.

The True Bloodline comes to the ring next. Rikishi, dressed in a suit and tie, with Jacob Fatu, The Usos and Solo Sikoa. Rikishi has the mic.
Rikishi - “The True Bloodline’s mission begins in earnest from this point forward. We’ve looked around for the past month, and haven’t been able to find that imposter Roman Reigns anywhere. He’s taken his ball and gone home. The Fatu Dynasty is the True Bloodline.”
Tonight, the Usos will take care of business against Public Enemy and take the first step toward grabbing AEW tag team gold. Solo Sikoa, he introduces as the man who will become AEW International Champion. And Jacob Fatu, Rikishi’s protege, as the future AEW World Champion.
—
We see a replay of Jade Cargill getting attacked by a woman who towered over her at St. Patrick’s Day Slam.
—
New music hits the arena, and the woman who attacked Cargill emerges. She gets to the ring and takes off her mask.
She introduces herself as Isis the Amazon and says that, at 6’9” tall, she is the most dominant woman in the world of professional wrestling. She’s so dominant that she’s never truly been given a chance because wrestling promotions the world over are too scared of how long she would go undefeated. The fact is that Isis is undefeated in her career…but she can’t seem to get the chance to extend her streak. Now that she’s in AEW, she’s here for two reasons: To end Jade Cargill’s tired and overwrought streak and to set a new standard for streaks in professional wrestling.

After their usual introduction, Triple H puts over Wardlow as a top competitor and says he had to dig deep to beat the Beast a few weeks ago. He moves onto WCW’s current tournament to name his next challenger. “I don’t care if it’s Nick Aldis, Steve Austin, Magnum TA or the ********** Taskmaster. I am the Game, and I’m at the top of my game. Nobody is beating me for this championship.”
—
Main Event - Logan Paul (1-0) vs. Jake Hager (13-8) w/ Dean Malenko on commentary
Paul gets the win following a slingshot clothesline and a huge frog splash in 12 minutes. Hager was dominant in the middle stretch of the match, after Paul spilled to the outside and Malenko started jawing with him.
Following the match, Malenko quickly attacked Paul from behind with the belt and continued stomping on him. Eventually, Paul recovers and hits Malenko with a couple of right hands until Hager grabs him from behind and hits a German suplex. The two heels keep up the assault, eventually dragging Paul to the outside, where Hager smashes his face into the outside ringpost, eventually busting Paul open, before putting him through the announce table. Malenko sneers at him and calls him a young punk, and says he’s never getting his mitts on the TNT Championship. The show ends with Malenko and Hager walking off, while medics come from the back and see to Hager.

Park gets in a lot of aerial offense early on, but Hook is able to nab the win with a REDRUM at 4 5 minutes.

Sammy Guevara comes to the ring with Tay Melo. He talks about starting from the bottom and earning another shot at the AEW World Championship. He had Cody beat fairly at Revolution until Cody got DQ’d. But he’ll play GM JBL’s game for now, and by the end of the year, Sammy Guevara will be a world champion.
He’s interrupted by the Natural Selection trio of Brian Cage, Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander. Cage says that it’s cute that Guevara thinks he’s world championship material. While Guevara is out here jawing, the Natural Selection is running roughshod over AEW. Shelton and Cedric are the only two-time tag team champions in the company, and ended the reigns of two historic tag teams in the Steiners and the Outsiders. While Cage single handedly made the AEW International Championship the most sought-after belt in the world. It’s time for Natural Selection to wipe Guevara out of existence.
Guevara vs. Benjamin is made for tonight’s main event.

Goldberg arrives to the arena and asks a backstage worker if they've seen Omega, who can be seen trying to tiptoe to his car in the background. The worker starts to say no, then looks to Omega and nods. Goldberg turns to see, and Omega hightails it to his car, and speeds off before Goldberg can catch up to him.
—
Scotty Flamingo is getting interviewed backstage by Pat McAfee, who asks about him hitting Jon Moxley with brass knuckles to get the win. Flamingo says it was just payback for Mox cheating to beat him in the Owen Hart Cup. Mox almost gave Flamingo a black eye and marred his pretty face.
Matt Riddle scooters on by and makes a comment about Flamingo not being cool, bro. Flamingo tells him to mind his own damned business. Mox walks up behind Flamingo as Riddle scoots away. Flamingo gets startled, and Mox says that their business is far from over. By the time Mox is done with Flamingo, his pretty face is going to be more than just bruised.
Flamingo puts McAfee between himself and Mox, as Mox walks off with a smile.
—
Match 4 - Young Bucks (6-4) vs. The Acclaimed (10-8)
The Bucks win with a BTE in 10 minutes. Goldberg emerges after the match and tells the Bucks to tell their handler that he's not going away until he gets Omega in the ring and causes him pain. The Bucks decide to leave through the crowd.

AEW World Champion Cody Rhodes comes to the ring with his wife Brandy. He gives a speech about family and about how he used to look up to his brother until he realized that Dustin is a freak who only keeps getting jobs because his last name is Rhodes.
