IMPACT Wrestling EVP Don Callis joined Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone and Excalibur on commentary.
During Kenny Omega's entrance, Justin Roberts made repeated references to how The Best Bout Machine is allegedly better than Hangman Page. Page didn't appear to have had any alcoholic beverages and looked as focussed as ever.
Omega offered his hand to Page but Hangman rejected the handshake.
Both men locked up in the early going. Page initially got the better of Omega and they both countered each other's moves, including a V Trigger attempt from The Cleaner. Kenny hit a Snapmare soon after and Page spilled to the outside. Kenny went for his Over The Top Rope Senton accompanied with the Terminator Clap but Page charged into the ring and caught him with a Big Boot.

Cassidy ducked, however, and caught Silver with an Orange Punch. He connected with Beach Break moments later to pick up the victory.
Darby Allin def. Cody Rhodes - TNT Championship
Cody was lying to us all when he said he wouldn't use "Cody Rhodes" in AEW. Justin Roberts did indeed announce him as Cody Rhodes. Mike Chioda is the referee.
Both men stared each other down in the opening moments. Rhodes got the better of the first exchange and flexed his biceps at Allin. Cody got the better of the second exchange by tripping Darby. Before they locked up again, Cody did a Cartwheel. He's definitely the heel in this match.
Allin got the better of Cody in the third exchange with a Slap. Cody reset and rolled to the outside for a pep talk with Arn Anderson.
Darby won the next exchange and picked up a near fall. Cody rolled to the outside but Darby allowed him no time to rest and hit his Bottom Rope Tope Suicida.

The Invisible Man hit the Yoshi Tonic for a near fall after a flurry of strikes. Cody caught Darby with a Big Boot and went for Cross Rhodes, Darby somehow accidentally ripped off the middle turnbuckle cover and countered Cody's finisher, sending Rhodes tumbling into the exposed turnbuckle.

Both men went to the top rope soon after and crashed to the mat. Allin tumbled to the outside and got back in the ring at the count of nine.

Soon after, Cody went for a second Cross Rhodes but Darby countered into a pin. They then exchanged pinning combinations and Darby managed to pin Rhodes' shoulders to the mat for a three count.
With that, we have a new TNT Champion. After the match, Cody knelt and handed the belt to Darby as the crowd chanted, "You deserve it!"
The Invisible Man didn't have long to celebrate before Taz came to the ring and Brian Cage & Ricky Starks beat down Darby and The Prince Of Pro Wrestling. Possible dissension within Team Taz was teased as they both tried to grab the TNT Title.
Brian Cage carried Darby into the wrestlers' crowd at ringside and tossed him through a setpiece. The Machine and Ricky Starks then tried to break Darby's arm in his car but Will Hobbs made the save in the nick of time.
