Bryan Danielson vs. Alan “5” Angels
Bryan then locks in the Knee Bar and starts flexing while he locks it in, forcing the submission. However, Danielson doesn’t relinquish the hold straight away as he poses again on the turnbuckle.
Winner: Bryan Danielson
Danielson is interviewed after the match by Tony Schiavone. He says if that is the best Atlanta has got, he whooped his ass. Danielson says not only did he kick his head in, but he thinks he snapped his MCL. He says next week there is a Dark Order member from Long Island and he will stomp his head in as well. He then tells Hangman that in two weeks he takes the AEW World Championship. Bryan says he will show it’s not Cowboy Sh*t, it’s Coward Sh*t.
-Hangman tries to come down to the ring, but John Silver stops him and he hits the ring instead. However, Danielson bails. He says Silver is beneath him, just like Page. Danielson goads Page and says he would love to slap him in the face. However, he claims the fans don’t deserve to see it, and Bryan walks to the back.
-Miro is shown in a white room saying he has been questioning what he needs to do. However, his God has revealed it to him. He says now he will only bring fear.
CM Punk vs. Lee Moriarty
Punk wins with the GTS.
Winner: CM Punk
After the match, MJF gets onto the microphone. He claims to be proud of Punk for saying he’s the best in the world when he’s struggling to beat QT Marshall and Lee Moriarty. He says the only thing he’s best at is trying to get in Britt Baker’s pants. He claims he is One Pump Jump.
Punk then gets on the microphone and says MJF can talk all he wants about him struggling to win. However, the talent he’s beaten are better than him, and he knows it. Punk tells MJF to shut up and bring his needle d*ck to the ring right now. MJF says Punk needs him more than otherwise.
MJF says next week he will win the Diamond Dozen Battle Royale. He claims he will be amongst fans he appreciates next week. MJF tells Punk to not bring his maggot of a dog anymore because if he does he will put Larry to sleep. Punk has heard enough and he heads up the ramp, but Wardlow then gets in the way.
-Britt Baker is backstage with Tony Schiavone. She says it was disgusting what Tony Khan did to her last week while Jamie says she was busy having one of the best matches in the TBS tournament. Baker points out she lost, but Jamie reminds her she did the same when facing Thunder Rosa. Baker reveals Hayter will face Riho next week.
Adam Cole makes his way out to commentate on the upcoming match. Orange Cassidy then heads out as well and they face off. However, The Young Bucks sneak behind him and go for Superkicks, but Cassidy sees them. He starts hitting his classic slow kicks but Cole then nails a low blow. They then mock Cassidy’s slow kicks before hitting double superkicks. The trio teases a combined BTE Trigger, but Chuck Taylor and Wheeler Yuta chase them off.

Wardlow vs. AC Adams
