Cody (c) with Arn Anderson vs. Eddie Kingston (AEW TNT Championship)
Before the match gets started, Kingston walks out to the stage with the mic. Talks about Cody always saying he's "grinding" in life and wrestling, but that probably wasn't so bad when he's around wrestling "has-beens." Kingston says he's been around junkies and alcoholics growing up, now that's grinding. Kingston says he's a grown ass man and will put Cody in the ground and smile if he tries to preach to him about anything. Kingston says Tony Khan paid him to show and to kick Cody's ass. Kingston keeps telling Anderson to stop staring at him like that or "I'll gouge your eye out." Kingston says the match will be DQ, but Cody has to accept that. He taunts Cody some more, Cody accepts.
.@MadKing1981 has arrived to challenge @CodyRhodes for his TNT Championship in a NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH!

- Backstage, AEW World Champion Jon Moxley says he's the kind of guy who when he says something ? he'll do it. Just like when he told Taz that he was going to tear Brian Cage's arm apart. Moxley said Cage was very close to another six months of rehab, and Taz made the right call by throwing in the towel, but next time, Moxley says he's not going to let go.

Before the match, MJF gets on the mic and tells Garrison he looks ready to go, but a bit nervous. It's understandable though because he's in the ring with a prodigy.

He asks Griff how cool it is to share the ring with someone who is undefeated. Garrison brings up that MJF lost a tag match, MJF says he brings up a good point and smacks him in the head with the mic.

Bell rings, MJF launches Garrison hard into the corner, then chokes him with his boot. MJF continues to work over his opponent out on the floor before finally sending him into the ring. MJF takes the microphone and tells Garrison they may have gotten off on the wrong foot. MJF didn't appreciate Griff saying he's been beat. "I've never been pinned, I've never been submitted." MJF then wants Griff to tell everyone he's undefeated, Garrison smacks the microphone away, MJF then steps on his finger, Griff just yells out in pain. MJF then yells one more time to say it! Griff finally says "You're undefeated." Griff pops the microphone back in MJF's face, roll-up, two-count, MJF is back up and swings away on his opponent before moving him to the apron. MJF with the heat seeker (piledriver) for the win.
Winner: MJF via Pinfall

- Taz says he and Brian Cage had some issues after he threw the towel in on Cage, but cool heads prevailed. Taz she he'll continue to work with Cage. Taz says he'll be damned if he was going to stand at ringside and watch Cage biceps tendon torn for a second time. He stands behind what he did as a business decision. Taz says Cage will never, ever be in that position again. He says Cage has an FTW mindset and...out comes Darby Allin. He gets to the ring, but Ricky Starks attacks him from behind. Cage then powerbombs Allin twice on the stage, then powerbombs him in the ring. Starks then picks up and plants Allin in the ring. Starks grabs the skateboard, gives it to Cage, but Moxley runs out through the crowd with a barbed wire bat and chases everyone off. Commentary noting Starks looks to have a business relationship with Taz. It was noted Starks helped out Cage on last night's AEW Dark.
