Tony Schiavone is in the ring, and he introduces Kenny Omega and Swerve Strickland. Strickland says Omega was someone that he wanted to face, but by the time he got to the top Omega was nowhere to be found because he was either injured or suspended. Strickland says Omega is now coming back and just putting himself into the title picture with his EVP power. Strickland says he dealt with other EVPs last summer, and he will put Omega down as well.
Omega says the people gave him the nickname “God of Professional Wrestling,” because they always know they are getting the very best when he has a match. Omega says he takes that responsibility and he is going to get back to the title the right way. Omega says it seems like the lights may be on in the house, but no one is home. Omega tells Strickland if he wants to burn the house down, he has a friend who knows how to do it. Omega challenges Strickland to a fight, and Strickland says he is the most dangerous man in AEW, but Omega interrupts and says that’s actually Brody King.
Strickland says if they fight, he will put Omega in a hospital bed and he won’t get out of it. Omega says that sounds like a great idea and slaps Strickland in the face. Strickland says whatever happens next is on Omega, and then they begin brawling. They brawl at ringside, and then head into the crowd. Omega hits Strickland with a chair and a trashcan, but Strickland comes back and slams Omega into another trashcan. They brawl back to the stage and Omega slams Strickland into one of the LED boards. Omega delivers the V Trigger and sets up for the One Winged Angel, but Strickland stabs Omega in the head with something and spears him off the stage as security finally runs out.
