- Earlier today, Tony Schiavone visited Kenny Omega at his home. Omega then says it's actually not his home, he just relocated temporarily to focus on this tournament. Omega says twice he had his matches changed in the tournament and his game plans had to be switched up. Omega offered up the idea that maybe Tony Khan should have given him two byes with those changes, and based on his merit he could have simply moved on in the tourny. Omega didn't think it was "obvious" that Hangman Page would make it to the finals, he thought Wardlow would get there. Omega asks Tony who'd he bet on for the tournament? He thinks he's destined to win the tournament and become the next champion.

Trent (with Orange Cassidy and Chuck Taylor) vs. Miro (with Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford)

Miro gets on the mic before the match to talk some trash. Mentions Trent not learning any manners from his mom. Trent immediately hits him with a dropkick. Miro puts Trent down though. Trent gets up to the second rope, Trent grabs him and hits a saito suplex. Miro with a kick to the back, european uppercut, stomps in the corner.

Miro with another suplex, elbow to the face. Taylor and Sabian start fighting, and end up going to the back. Ford tries to follow, but Cassidy gets in the way.

Led by John Silver, Dark Order shows up and takes out Orange Cassidy at ringside (the two are going to meet at Full Gear). The referee comes out and tosses the whole group to the back.

Says he knew it was going to be Omega, but he's going to win. Ross asks about them being former partners and how that strategy works for Page. Hangman says he knows all of Omega's moves and will be able to pull out the victory. Ross calls out Page, says he thinks Page is nervous as he chugs down his bourbon. Page admits that he's nervous — who doesn't get nerves going down the tunnel? Page then mentions how he originally said he was going to be the first world champion in AEW, but it didn't work out. If he doesn't win this opportunity, what else does he have...other than this last drink? Jim Ross reminds him about moderation and wishes him good luck on Saturday.

- Hype video for the AEW World Tag Team Championship Match between FTR and Young Bucks at Full Gear. Numerous people make their predictions. Matt Jackson reiterates if they don't win, they won't challenge for the tag titles ever again.

- Taz heads out to the stage with Brian Cage and Ricky Starks. Taz reminds Will Hobbs time is ticking down for him to make his decision about joining the group. They gets in the ring, Taz says for three hours he sat outside Tony Khan's office trying to get two minutes of his time. Taz says a production assistant then tells him Khan is too busy though. Taz says he'll talk on Khan's TV show, if he can't talk backstage. He says Cage is 10-1 (the loss was passing out to Moxley), and is number one in the current rankings. Taz says Starks has only won in AEW and isn't even in the top 5. Starks gets on the mic and says he's opened and closed Dynamite, every time he's given a shot, he hits a home run. Starks wonders how they don't have a match at the PPV. Taz says Cody and Allin will be a good match, but they are also both spoiled and entitled and guarantees an FTW presence at Full Gear.

Moxley says Kingston made a promise to his mother that he can't keep. Kingston can't even look at him at first, and tells Moxley "you better get ready to kill me." Kingston says Moxley isn't going to do it, and that title is his! Kingston leaves the ring. Moxley says Kingston is not the man he thought he was and he will say the words "I quit."

- PAC sends in a video. He's sitting in his home, alone. Standing at the beach, alone. Around him are copies of himself in his ring gear. PAC says it's been seven months and he's become a casualty of this rotten world. It's okay though, he's been through this before. Every day that passes, he gets strong, faster, and more obsessed.
