Adam Cole charged down the aisle and hit the ring to attack JB. Cole and Fish worked him over, then embraced. Cole pulled several chairs out from under the ring. They were going to do a Conchairto but Christian Cage and Luchasaurus ran down. Cole bolted, leaving Fish to be laid out with the Killswitch. The Young Bucks met Cole at the entrance ramp and they stared down their Full Gear opponents.
AEW ran a video piece on Bryan Danielson vs. Miro at Full Gear.
We see footage of Kenny Omega signing the contract in Hangman Page's blood.
Adam Cole was cutting a promo when Hangman showed up. He told the Bucks he knows they had nothing to do with Wednesday. He told them he had to say something for a long time. He was sorry. He was an ass and cost them a Tag Team title, but they cost him a shot at the World title with the Dark Order. So, he sees it as they are even but if they try to lay a hand on him tomorrow, he will end them.
Jade Cargill with Smart Mark Sterling vs. Santana Garrett
They had a 1st Anniversary Jade cake at ringside.
Cargill disrespected Garrett and kicked her off going for a single-leg takedown. Garrett went to the floor. Jade got into Red Velvet's face as Velvet was sitting ringside. That distraction allowed Garrett to nail Jade, who cut her off and tossed her atop of Velvet. Velvet tried to go after her but was held back. Jade tossed Garrett back into the ring. Garrett went for a handspring elbow but was caught and slammed and pinned.
Your winner, Jade Cargill!

This is Daivari's AEW debut. He was slated to debut at a Dark taping a few weeks ago but it was pushed back to tonight. Crowd was really behind chanting for both competitors. Lots of super fast paced action and reversals. Martin went for a springboard move but was caught and hit with a Snake Eyes.
