QT Marshall ordered the production crew to cut his music, and he even disrespected Justin Roberts. QT cut a good heel promo and took shots at Sting and Darby Allin. The Factory leader got booed as he revealed what he promised MJF.
Darby Allin's entrance theme played, and the former TNT champion got one of the loudest pops of the night. Allin looked fired up as he unsettled QT Marshall with his athleticism.
Marshall shut down Allin with a left-handed lariat, which reminded Taz of the Big Boss Man. Allin escaped QT's suplex grip and slapped him across the face. Marshall caught an overhand shot and responded with a chop.
Darby Allin went for the Coffin Splash in the corner, but QT came back with a forearm shimmer. He followed it with a belly-to-belly suplex and went up to the top for a diving headbutt.
Darby began his comeback with a missile dropkick from the buckle, followed by a tope suicida. He rolled QT back into the ring and got a near fall from a Code Red.
Allin looked for the finish as he headed up top for the Coffin Drop. Pinfall...1...2...3!

AEW Dark Main Event: Jungle Boy, Luchasaurus & Christian Cage vs. Hardy Family Office
Jungle Boy and Isiah Kassidy got the trios' main event underway. Kassidy jumped up on the top and got a chorus of boos in response from the crowd.
Jungle Boy started on the back foot until he gathered momentum with a few chops, modified arm drag, and a dropkick.
Long-time rivals Matt Hardy and Christian Cage finally stood on opposite ends as the legal men in the match. Hardy blocked the Killswitch early on, but Cage responded with ten punches in the corner. He followed it with a diving uppercut and got a one-count.
Cage had a lot to deal with as Kassidy proved to be a nuisance from the apron. Blade took advantage and dropped Cage down with a facebuster and follow-up punt kick.
Blade powered through with ground and pound before pushing Cage in the heels' corner. Kassidy had Cage in a side headlock as fans chanted for Luchasaurus to enter the match.
Hardy returned and delivered a side effect on Cage but tagged out to Kassidy instead of going for the pinfall. Kassidy took a little too long on the top rope and landed back-first on Cage's knees while attempting a senton.
Christian sold a storyline knee injury but still managed to make the hot tag to the Dinosaur Man!
Luchasaurus flattened all three opponents and positioned them in the corner. He single-handedly dominated the HFO until all heels ganged up on the giant.

Jungle Boy took a nasty bump in the corner from a snap suplex. Hardy sneaked in and surprised Luchasaurus with the Twist of Fate.
Cage then one-upped Hardy with the Killswitch but absorbed a cutter from Kassidy.
Jungle Boy wiped out Kassidy with the Lariat. He caught Blade in the middle of the ring and forced him to tap out to the Snare Trap submission.
