Winners: Santana and Ortiz via Pinfall

- Backstage, 2point0 talk to Darby Allin not looking past Daniel Garcia (his opponent on Friday). Parker says they are going to take away Allin's match against Punk at All Out. Garcia plans on hurting Darby Allin and there's not a shot he's going to All Out on Sunday.

- CM Punk heads out to a big pop from the crowd as he makes his way into the ring. "CM Punk" chant rings out as he gets the mic. "Are you guys sick of me yet?" Crowd yells, "no!" Punk says he knows on Sunday at the PPV, his big return could all end for him. He's nervous and hasn't wrestled in seven years. Crowd gives him a "you still got it" chant. Punk continues that he's going make a promise when he laces up his boots. 2point0 and Daniel Garcia run out and attack Punk!

He gets in a few shots, but the numbers are too much and they stomp away at him. Allin and Sting have seen enough and they came out to the ring to stop the attack. Allin and Garcia battle on the floor with Garcia getting sent into the ring post. Punk throws a bunch of punches at Park in the corner. Sting with scorpion deathdrop, coffin drop, and Punk hits GTS on Parker! Allin and Punk go face-to-face for a minute.

Sting backs Allin away and has a mic. Punk asks Sting to hold on and tosses Parker out of the ring. Sting says he admits he always wanted to share a ring with Punk. Their paths never crossed in the past, but it felt good to see a coffin drop and GTS happen right in front of him.

Sting says they have the same goal in mind and want this All Out match to happen. Sting says he knows both guys are ready for Sunday and when they collide it's gonna be showtime for sure. Sting sounds like he's not going to be at ringside for the match to let them do their thing. Punk steps up to Allin again and says a few things. Allin doesn't say anything but just glares at him, eventually backing out of the ring.

- Video package hyping AEW World Champion Kenny Omega. Jim Ross says he's been able to keep the title for so long is because he's that damn good. Clips are shown to hype his match against Christian Cage at the PPV. Paul Wight talks about how Christian has already pinned Omega for the Impact World Championship.

- Tony Schiavone has a sit-down with MJF and gives him a less than thrilled introduction. MJF says Chris Jericho has evolved for four decades in pro wrestling and has had an amazing career. He says it won't be easy to fill Jericho's shoes, but Jericho needs to look in the mirror, he's on a downward spiral. Tony goes to say something and MJF stops him. He knows Jericho is addicted to the spotlight though and will do anything to keep it, even putting his career on the line. On Sunday, he's putting an end to one of the greatest pro wrestling careers ever.

Orange Cassidy vs. Jack Evans

Kris Statlander, Wheeler Yuta, and Chuck Taylor give him a fist bump on the stage. Cassidy gets in the ring and Matt Hardy immediately attacks him. Ref throws Hardy to the back. Evans with a spinning heel kick on Cassidy. Cassidy looking to work his way back into this one, finally hits a big spinning DDT on Evans, cover, two.

Evans bails out of the ring, Cassidy hits a suicide dive right after. He throws Evans in the ring, goes to the top and nails Evans with a crossbody, cover. He nails Evans with a Michinoku Driver, cover, two-count. Cassidy then throws those darn light kicks, couple standing switches, Evans sent into the corner head-first. We go to a picture-in-picture break. Evans working over Cassidy, hits a stalled vertical suplex, penalty kick, Cassidy does a quick roll-up and ends up winning the match! Think that's a first time happening during the commercial. Evans says his shoulder was up and argues with the ref.

- Hype video for AEW TNT Champion Miro vs. Eddie Kingston at All Out.

- Hype video for Jon Moxley vs. Satoshi Kojima at All Out.

- Jim Ross in the ring (for his first-ever AEW in-ring interview) to speak with Chris Jericho. Jericho hypes up the crowd a bit, then gives props to Jim Ross helping to recruit him back in the day. Ross then asks Jericho why he put such a serious stipulation on this upcoming match against MJF? Jericho says MJF is a "piece of s***."  He says MJF is arrogant, and the only thing he has over Jericho is three victories. He says those dates are burned in his brain and he needs to win, that's why he did the stipulation to get another match. He's never bee complacent, sure, he could win more titles and have more matches, but every time he looked in the mirror he would remember losing to MJF over and over.

Jericho says he wants more, but says if something horrible does go wrong, he thanks the fans for being a big part of his life. He says MJF is not taking this away from him though. "You're gonna have to be the best you've ever been!" He doesn't believe MJF has what it takes to get rid of him, "I'll see you Sunday, you little prick." Jericho shakes Ross' hand and paces around the ring for a moment, looking at the crowd.

- Hype video for Punk vs. Allin at All Out. Allin remembered CM Punk saying if he was 15 years old, Allin would have been his favorite wrestler. Allin says when he was 15, Punk was his favorite wrestler. Allin didn't appreciate Punk putting him at the front of the line for people to beat though, and he plans on beating Punk — in Chicago.

Powerhouse Hobbs with Hook vs. Brian Cage

Taz on commentary for the match. Cage attacks Hobbs on the ramp during his entrance. Cage gets in some shots, and the bell eventually rings. Hobbs makes his way out of the ring and past Hook, who gets in Cage's way. Cage shoves him and the minor distract allows Hobbs to attack and get the offensive momentum.

Cage really getting beat up, but finally lands some strikes to get back into this one. Cage easily hits an exploder on the big man, big shots in the corner, release german suplex, cover, two-count. Cage ends up taking a spinebuster, cover, two. Cage up, knee strike to the jaw, F-5 hits, and Hobbs moves out to the apron.

- In the ring, QT Marshall is in the ring with Nick Comoroto, Aaron Solo, and a few other trainees from The Factory. He calls out Paul Wight and wants to talk man-to-man (despite having people with him, lol). Wight makes his way out to the ring. The guys try to jump him, but gets shoved away. Wight clocks a few of them, then chokeslams a guy. Solo tries to leap off the top rope and gets swatted out of the air. Gunn Club then runs into the ring to make sure things are even.

Marshall gets a chair and thinks about jump in the ring, but Billy pops him back down to the floor. "QT sucks" chant from the crowd. Billy Gunn then cracks Wight from behind with a chair?! QT doesn't know what to think of that. Wight looks up at Billy and gets back to his feet. Billy with another chairshot to the head/shoulder. They clear out, Factory gets back in the ring, QT with a diamond cutter on Wight. He celebrates over a fallen Wight.

- Britt Baker talks with Tony Schiavone about the Women's Casino Battle Royale that Rebel and Jamie Hayter are in. If they win, she's in a good place as champion. She then jokes about the biggest free agent signing with AEW (Adam Cole?!) Nope! It's her, she's with the company for a long time. Tony Khan also gave her a match that she could make and she decides to have Rebel and Hayter vs. Statlander on this Friday's Rampage.

Penelope Ford with The Bunny vs. Tay Conti

Conti and Ford go back and forth as we get things started. Conti with a knee to the face, followed by some shots to the midsection. Weird backbreaker into a cover for two.

Frankie Kazarian, Dante Martin, and others try to make their way in, but everyone is getting knocked down or sprayed in the face.
