Backstage, Tony Schiavone starts to interview Christian on his Impact Championship win. Don Callis interrupts, congratulates him somewhat disingenuously, says he's happy he'll finally get to have his five star match with Kenny, even if he's going to lose to the One Winged Angel. Christian says Don wants to pretend he's the one in his head, but Christian is in Kenny's head after already beating him for a title. He says Callis still thinks he's the smartest guy in the room, but he's a carny piece of shit.

They show a video package highlighting Dante Martin's performance in the 6 man tag last week.

Tony Schiavone is in the ring with American Top Team. Dan Lambert says his free speech rights were violated and everyone cheered it on. He says AEW sent Lance Archer out to punch him for hurting everyone's feelings. He reminds them that UFC fighters are contractually forbidden from wrestling, but he got an exemption. He challenges the locker room to try them. He says AEW is not the answer, and their roster is all posers. He says all the fans are just desperate because they have nothing else in their lives. Lance Archer comes out, but Men of the Year attack him from behind. It takes a while to stick, but they eventually beat him down.

Backstage, Chris Jericho says he's paid the price for enduring the Labours of Jericho, but tonight he gets what he wanted. He says he might not have Judas or the Judas Effect, but he still has momentum, and the crowd will sing his entrance theme for him.

Tony Schiavone introduces Paul Wight.

Tony: "Alright, Paul, first of all, thank you, great to be your broadcast partner on Elevation, thank you for having my back last week."

"We've been friends for a long time, but if I'm being honest, it felt amazing to get back in the ring! It felt great to get back in here, put my watch in my pocket, and put Solow on a ride he'll never forget! And I have an announcement for all of you here tonight."

QT comes out. "Whoa, whoa, Houston, we have a problem. I'm just going to stop you before you say something you can't deliver on. We don't build something up just to let the fans down."

"You think I'm out here just to let the fans down?"

"We forgive you for what you did to Aaron Solow last week."

"I'll sleep well at night knowing The Factory forgives me. Why don't you come closer? I'm sure Tony can count to three!"

"You know there's a reason why Tony Khan hired you to be a commentator and not a wrestler chasing titles."

"You came out here, you interrupted Tony, you're starting to make me upset."

"Let me spell it out for these morons in Houston. In my backstage role in AEW, I'm privy to a lot of information. Keith Mitchell, let's throw that up. (they show stills from Wight's hip surgery) You've had five surgeries in the past 18 months just to get back some quality of life. It's a miracle you're still here."

"So you thought it was a good idea to come out here and show pictures of my hip and my big, beautiful ass on television? You think I'm embarrassed of five and a half pounds of titanium? Like that's going to stop me from doing anything? For a man who thinks he knows so much, you don't know anything! I had a conversation with Tony Khan, and it felt so good to climb over that top rope, that at All Out, I have a match. And guess who my opponent is, my little guppie. It's going to be Paul Wight vs. QT Marshall!"

Jade Cargill and Mark Sterling hype Jade Cargill vs. Kiera Hogan on Rampage.

Taz and Hook are in the ring. They introduce Ricky Starks.

"Well well well, look who's creeping and crawling, Ricky Starks is in the mix! Ricky Starks is for the world, and it looks like it's going to be that way for a long time! Brian Cage, you and I keep missing each other, so come on out here!"

They show footage revealing that Powerhouse Hobbs already took out Brian Cage, before Cage gets up and they brawl while the rest of Team Taz gets out of there.

Tony interviews Death Triangle. Pac says All Out is the perfect place to face Andrade, the same arena and PPV where he beat Kenny Omega. Andrade walks in and says he has some conditions. There's a big thick book worth of them.
