In a pre-tape, Tony is with Jade Cargill, and one of the Baddies is taking Penelope Ford’s place in the match with Willow Nightingale if AEW lets her be in the ring with Nyla Rose and her TBS belt.
IN the back, Ortiz and Eddie Kingston are with the Lucha Brothers. They tell Eddie they don’t want him losing his temper and losing another job. Pac shows up and mocks Eddie, and he is not happy about it as Death Triangle leaves.

Winner: Willow Nightingale
Tony joins her in the ring and he lets us know she is now All Elite. Jade Cargill comes to the ring with a chair. She dismisses Willow and the Baddies join her. She sits in the chair and grabs the mic. She tells Nyla she has 10 seconds to bring her her belt.
Before the countdown, we see Nyla in Jade’s car with the belt and drives off, singing “What’s Up?” by 4 Non Blondes. I really like that Nyla is bringing her humor to her character, and this was a funny bit.
Jade says she isn’t leaving the ring until she gets her belt back and the Baddies run to the back. Security comes to the ring and Jade is able to take them on as we see how the Main Event is now a match for the All Atlantic Title. Rush tells 10 to bring the fight, and Orange Cassidy says he won the title in Canada. He asks if they want some beers. Both 10 and Rush refuse. He injects himself into 10 and Rush’s match.
Mark Henry does his interview thing. Oddly, Orange Cassidy seems to care and is in Mark Henry’s block. He says he felt like getting involved in the match.
Jade Cargill is nowhere to be seen, so I guess she was finally removed by Security.
