AEW World Championship Match: Darby Allin (c) def. Konosuke Takeshita by pinfall to retain the title.

After the match, Allin tells MJF to come out and sign the contract for their world title match at Double or Nothing. MJF stops himself from signing and says he hopes Allin has enjoyed his world title reign. He claims Allin won’t hold the belt again and has as much of a chance of winning it back as Adam Page does.

MJF adds that Allin’s legacy will be that of a kid who had 15 minutes of fame but never made a real impact. He then vows to become a three-time world champion at 30 years old and go down as the greatest of all time.

Allin responds by telling MJF to just sign the contract. MJF signs it and attacks Allin. As he goes to hit a tombstone off the top rope, Kevin Knight stops him to close the show.
