The stipulation going in was that if Tanahashi won, he would get a shot at Jericho's AEW World Championship.

The two veterans felt each other out early on and worked on each other's arms. Tanahashi and Jericho then traded hammerlocks before Tanahashi took Jericho down with an armdrag and taunted him.

The two men traded palm strikes and Jericho followed it up with the springboard dropkick to the apron, dumping the Ace out of the ring. Jericho followed Tanahashi out and slammed him against the barricade before smashing a gate into his face. Jericho then dumped Tanahashi into the commentator's area before hitting him with a DDT through the commentator's table.

Back in the ring, Jericho continued to dominate until he headed to the top rope. He went for a Frog Splash but ate the mat after Tanahashi rolled away. Tanahashi whipped Jericho into the corner and went for a running splash, only for Jericho to pull the referee into the way. Jericho then hit Tanahashi with a low blow before taking off his belt and whipping Tanahashi with it. Tanahashi replied with a low blow of his own.

Jericho went for a Lionsault but Tanahashi pushed him over the top rope and out of the ring. The Ace quickly headed to the top rope and hit a High Fly Flow to the floor. Jericho barely managed to break the count and Tanahashi caught him as he was about to enter the ring and hit him with a couple of Dragon Screws against the middle rope.

Jericho tried to hit a Codebreaker but Tanahashi caught him in midair and followed it with three more Dragon Screws. The Ace tried to follow it up with a High Fly Flow but Jericho got his knees up and immediately followed it up with a Lionsault for a nearfall.

Jericho tried to follow up with the Judas Effect but Tanahashi reversed it into a German Suplex for a nearfall. Jericho repled by locking in the Liontamer. Tanahashi couldn't reach the ropes but eventually broke free and hit a Slingblade.

Tanahashi headed to the top rope but Jericho caught him in midair and hit a Codebreaker for another nearfall. Tanahashi replied with a Codebreaker of his own for another nearfall. Ace almost rolled Jericho up after this and followed it up with another Slingblade.

Jericho then locked in the Liontamer once again in the middle of the ring, forcing Tanahashi to tap out.
