AEW: Cody (C) vs Sonny Kiss (for the TNT Championship)
Cody started off the match on top, taking out Sonny Kiss early with a Disaster Kick on. Uncharacteristically, Cody started to showboat after this which didn't please Arn Anderson.
Sonny hit back with an elbow strike followed by a hammer kick. On the offense now, Kiss followed it up with an enzuigiri. Cody hit back by locking in a Full Nelson but didn't have the power to hold it in and Sonny broke free.
Sonny followed this with a beautiful Spanish Fly followed by a head scissors which sent Cody into the corner. We saw Sonny Kiss hit some big moves around this point including an Exploder Suplex. Kiss then hit Cody with a Cross Rhodes and he kicked out of his own finisher. Kiss then hit a 450 Splash forcing Cody to dig deep and kick out again.
Cody replied with a nasty Alabama Slam on the entrance ramp. This sort of spelt the end for Sonny Kiss and Cody hit the Cross-Rhodes soon after to pin Kiss and win the match.

Le Champion's message for Orange Cassidy on AEW
Chris Jericho was out next on AEW with the Inner Circle. Jericho said he was the greatest of all time and the king of the demos. He called himself the demo god before adding how successful his match with Orange Cassidy was. Jericho then teased a rematch with Orange Cassidy before nixing the idea. He then said that Orange Cassidy better have enjoyed his brief run as a main eventer because it was over now.
Orange Cassidy's music hit as The Inner Circle gloated inside the ring. Cassidy came out through the eating area to stare at Jericho from across the arena. Jericho told him that there would never be a rematch so he could get out of the arena.
Cassidy then gave The Inner Circle the thumbs down from where he was standing outside the AEW ring. We then saw a massive amount of orange liquid come down from the ceiling and cover The Inner Circle in the AEW ring. After Jericho finally struggled and got back to his feet, he asked for a towel. Unfortunately for him, the towel he got had Orange Cassidy's face on it.

Nick Jackson and 'Jungle Boy' Jack Perry started off the AEW match for their respective teams. Jackson went to plant Perry face-first into the mat but he reversed it. Marko Stunt and Kenny Omega tagged in as the legal men.

Stunt hit Jackson with an incredible Canadian Destroyer.

Moxley tried to lock in a standing armbar but Cage flung him into the barricade.
Moxley and Cage fought beyond the barricades. Mox took Cage's arm and put it in between the barricade bars before giving it a kick.

Mox rolled Cage up for a 2-count and followed it up with a series of elbow strikes.
Cage tried to hit a moonsault but ate the mat. Moxley followed it with a series of running knee strikes but they seemingly had no effect as Cage took Moxley down with a clothesline. Moxley hit back with a clothesline of his own.
Moxley went back to working on Cage's arm and locked in an armbar. Moxley maneuvered it to put even more pressure on the shoulder, forcing Tazz to throw in the towel for Cage.
