– Dasha thought she was supposed to talk with Death Triangle, but there’s no PAC, only Fenix and Penta. Alex Abrahantes thinks his ride got cancelled. Andrade showed up with Chavo right on time.

Tony Schiavone talks with The Dark Order. He brings up no more tag titles for them. Hangman Page shows up to grab his drink and tries to leave. They say it’s been a whole week and couldn’t get a hold of him. Page says he cost them the tag titles and everyone says it’s okay! Page says he has to take care of his baggage on his own. Dark Order says they can help, but he passes. Page says for now, they are done, and heads out. Uno tells the group if that’s what Page wants, let’s give him some space.

– Backstage, The Elite goofing around, shooting hoops. Doc Gallows wearing a Ric Flair-esque robe. Nick Jackson wonders if there is anyone else for them to face in the ring. Matt says there’s nobody left. Kenny Omega taunted Hangman Page and said when it came down to the end and that buzzer beater (Omega shots a shot at the hoop and super misses) Page blew it!

Video package of the rivalry between FTR and Santana/Ortiz. We see Wheeler’s arm get caught on the turnbuckle hook, which caused him to bleed a ton. Dax Harwood says he almost watched his friend bleed out, but they have one more match down the road. Dax says death couldn’t stop Wheeler, so what are Santana and Ortiz going to do?
In the ring, Tony Schiavone introduces AEW Women’s World Champion Britt Baker (with Reba). Tony brings up next week in Pittsburgh, but also the reception she got right here in Jacksonville. Baker says this was where she became the champion. Before she can say anything else, out comes Red Velvet. Velvet gets in the ring, Tony asks her what brings Velvet out? Velvet tells Britt, “Red is not your color” and she wants a piece of D.M.D. Velvet with a little shove. Baker brings up beating Velvet in three minutes, but if she wants to challenge Baker, sounds good to her. Velvet says she’s 22-4 (7 straight wins) and isn’t enhancement talent any longer, and she didn’t have to cheat to get her victories. Baker reminds Velvet she’s now the champ and says it will happen at AEW Rampage next Friday, in Pittsburgh. Velvet sizes up the champ and throws a kick at her hand.
Rebel tries to cheap shot Velvet with the crutches. Baker drops Velvet and stomps her to the mat. Baker then chokes Velvet a bit with it as her music plays. Baker holds up the title.
Dasha talks with Andrade. Chavo stops him and says the Lucha Bros won’t work for him, but he has someone else. In steps, Fuego del Sol! Chavo tells Fuego has to shine Andrade’s shoes. He doesn’t want to do that, so Andrade boots him and throws Fuego into ta loading dock door. Chavo tells the Lucha Bros. if they keep working for PAC they will never be champions!
– In the ring, Tony talks with Hangman Page and asks him to clarify some earlier comments he made. The Elite make their way out to the stage before he can say anything. Page says he’s glad Matt and Nick Jackson are here. He has something he needed to clear up with them. The Elite get in the ring. Omega says he’s trying to find some self-worth and maybe make a plea to rejoin The Elite? Page says no that’s not what he’s trying to do. Omega says he thinks Page shares a lot with the audience, he’s a try-hard. He says when he thinks about what The Elite was what they are now, Page doesn’t fit in with them. “Cowboy, or not, The Elite does not have any losers in our group.”
Page ends up slapping Omega in the face and The Elite immediately jump him. Gallows and Anderson hit magic killer on Page. Dark Order run out, but Uno and Grayson tell them to stay back, just like Page asked them. Multiple BTE Triggers on Page. Frankie Kazarian runs out and tries to help, but he doesn’t last long in the ring. Cutler sprays him with cold spray, lol. Nakazawa tosses a basketball at him. Omega says he’s pissed now. He holds the title in Page’s face and says take a look at the thing he’ll never have! Omega blasts Page in the face with the title. The Elite’s music hits.
– Dan Lambert from American Top Team says he hasn’t forgotten what Lance Archer did to him a couple weeks ago. Lambert says you know what hurts more than taking a Black Out? The truth! Lambert says he’s returning next week, and is bringing back-up this time.

Malaki Black vs. Cody Rhodes
Black had a very unique entrance and won with the spinning kick to the face.
Winner: Malaki Black
Post-match, Black smiles and makes his way to the back. Tony heads out to the ring to talk with Cody (really?). Dr. Sampson checking on Cody as Tony heads in. Tony asks Cody if he’s okay and looks for a comment. Cody says legacy is a funny thing and when he got into wrestling he was a referee. He says time flies and he’s had so much fun. Cody makes his way up to one knee and Tony helps him up. Cody takes the mic and thanks Tony. Cody relives how he left WWE and then he met Nick and Matt. He said people laughed at them when they wanted to start a revolution. Cody says “this isn’t an alternative, we’re competition.” (Reference to Vince’s comments). Cody says he’s been able to carry the banner for these couple years, maybe some outside opportunities, and some EVP infighting has occurred (he loves them and will always be tethered to them). Cody calls Daily’s Place the AEW Amphitheater. Cody thanks the fans and tears up a bit. He then goes to take his wrestling boots off in the middle of the ring (hanging them up?!).
Black makes his way back out and smacks Cody in the back with a crutch that the doctor had previously brought in. Black picks up Cody’s boot and smiles as his music plays. Commentary wondering if Black has retired Cody as the show closes.
