Match 1: AEW World Tag Team Title - FTR (Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood) vs. Big Bill and Brian Cage
In the opening bout, FTR looked to add another chapter to their impressive tag team reign. The champions, Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood, dominated Big Bill and Brian Cage from start to finish. A devastating top-rope cutter from Cash sealed the deal for FTR, who retained their titles in a strong 15:03 match.
Match 2: AEW TBS Title - Kris Statlander vs. Mercedes Martinez
The Women's Division took center stage next as Kris Statlander put her AEW TBS title on the line against challenger Mercedes Martinez. Statlander's quickness and agility proved too much for Martinez, who struggled to mount a meaningful offense. In the end, it was all about Statlander's speed, allowing her to snatch victory in 10:14.
Match 3: Non-Title - Samoa Joe vs. Serpentico
In a brief but brutal encounter, Samoa Joe made quick work of Serpentico, finishing him off with a thunderous Muscle Buster mere seconds into the match (00:14). The Samoan Submission Machine is always a force to be reckoned with.

In a chaotic tag team match, The House Of Black put their AEW World Trios titles on the line against a makeshift trio of Action Andretti, Darius Martin, and Lee Johnson. Despite valiant efforts from the underdogs, The House Of Black's cohesion and power proved too much to handle, securing victory in 9:08.
Match 5: Singles - Jay White vs. Metalik
In a brief but competitive bout, Jay White edged out Metalik with a decisive pinfall (5:11). It was all about White's quickness and experience as he navigated the youngster's offense.
Main Event: AEW World Title - CM Punk vs. Ricky Starks
