Jon Moxley entered through the crowd with Marina Shafir, drawing a muted response from the heavily pro-Bryan Danielson Tacoma crowd.

When "The Final Countdown" hit the crowd began to buzz before erupting as the American Dragon emerged.

As Danielson made his way to the top rope for his entrance, Moxley attacked. Danielson and Mox battled outside the ring as Europe's ballad blasted over the speakers. With the match having not started, Moxley used television cables to choke out Danielson. Danielson returned the favor before Shafir choked him out and allowed Moxley to clothesline him.

Moxley sent Danielson into the ring and brought a chair into the equation. Danielson pounced, kicking the chair into Moxley's head.

Finally, the bell rand and Danielson maintained the upper hand, landing a Busaiko Knee and a near-fall less than a minute after the bell rang. Danielson kept up the pressure, landing high-risk moves and dives, eventually delivering his patented kicks to Moxley atop the Spanish announce table. Moxley gouged Danielson's eye before the final kick and delivered a piledriver onto the announce table.

As Moxley went to bring Moxley back into the ring, he knocked the headset off Nigel McGuinness' head — McGuinness and Danielson were longtime rivals in Ring of Honor. Moxley distracted Bryce Remsburg and Shafir attacked Danielson again. Moxley continued to punish Danielson while focusing on his neck.

Danielson began to fight back briefly, but Moxley continued to hammer the champion's neck, drawing boos and "no" chants from the crowd. Once again, as Moxley taunted and Remsburg was distracted, Shafir attacked Danielson.

Shafir began to dismantle the outside of the ring area, lifting the protective mats and adjusting the steel steps to set up a more destructive environment for Moxley. After pressing Danielson's head into the steps, Moxley went for a piledriver on the concrete, which Danielson countered into a back-body drop.

Danielson went to the top turnbuckle and was attacked by Moxley. Moxley raked Danielson's back and bit him before the champion was able to escape, locking the challenger in the Tree of Woe. Danielson delivered a series of blows — and a bite of his own — before hitting a German suplex and whiffing on a flying headbutt. Moxley capitalized with a stomp, near-fall and headlock submission.

After eventually escaping the hold, Danielson battled to piledrive Moxley and initiate the referee's ten count. Both men rose to their feet at seven. Standing toe-to-toe, Danielson egged Moxley on and amped up the crowd. The two willingly went blow-for-blow but Danielson eventually fell to a knee, grabbing his neck. Moxley went for a kick but Danielson caught him and went on the offensive, eventually landing the full sequence of his Yes Kicks.

With Moxley down, Danielson set up the challenger for the Busiako Knee before being stopped by Shafir. Remsburg caught her this time, tossing her out from ringside. Amid all of this, Moxley hit Danielson with a cutter.

Danielson was able to evade several Moxley attacks, including a German suplex, before landing the Busaiko Knee for a near-fall. As the crowd ramped up, so did Danielson and he began to kick Moxley's head in before transitioning to the Lebell Lock. Moxley eventually broke the hold and escaped outside the ring. Danielson went for a tope suicida but was caught by Moxley and hit with a Death Rider DDT on the concrete. Moxley pushed Danielson into the ring but he kicked out at two.

Frustrated, Moxley delivered repeated elbow strikes and locked in a choke. Danielson fought to his feet and carried Danielson to the corner and up the turnbuckle, throwing himself backward to break the chokehold. Unable to make the cover, Danielson and Moxley opted to exchange kicks, with the champion winning out and locking in the Lebell Lock again.

Moxley fought out, but was eventually hit with another Busaiko Knee for a near-fall. Danielson lined up the knee again but was met with two big lariats and a near-fall. Moxley landed another Death Rider and immediately went for a pin, which Danielson kicked out of at one. Moxley taunted Danielson saying "don't make me do it." After Danielson spit in Moxley's face, the challenger delivered a Gotch piledriver and locked in another sleeper, which caused Danielson to pass out and lose.

Jon Moxley defeats Bryan Danielson in 26:56 to win the AEW World Championship

After the match, the Blackpool Combat Club came out to the ring and put the AEW World Championship into a duffel bag and threatened to put a plastic bag on Danielson's head again. Wheeler Yuta and Darby Allin came to Danielson's aid, but Yuta attacked Allin and the BCC bound Allin and turned their attention Danielson.

Yuta put the bag over Danielson's head and more AEW babyfaces attempted to rush to Danielson's aid. The BCC put Danielson's head in a chair and Castagnoli stomped onto it. Eventually the entire locker room emptied and the BCC escaped through the crowd. AEW officials checked on Danielson and brought out a stretcher before the event went off the air.

Chris Jericho came out first, accompanied by the Redwood Big Bill, who remained ringside. Mark Briscoe came out with an intensity for an extremely personal feud.

Unlike the Atlantis Jr.-Brian Cage match, the Code of Honor was not observed for this match as Briscoe and Jericho began to batter one another. Jericho scored a quick near-fall after a Codebreaker. Despite the near-fall, Briscoe went on the offensive early on Jericho outside the ring.

Briscoe tossed a steel chair into the ring and hyped the crowd up before going for a dive, which Big Bill briefly helped Jericho — Briscoe landed the dive a moment later anyway. While Briscoe kept up the offensive, Bill got involved again, pummeling Briscoe and even setting up a table outside the ring. Ultimately, Orange Cassidy came out to fight Bill to the backstage.

With Bill gone, Briscoe kept his foot on the gas before an eye rake from Jericho and a suplex from the ring apron to the floor. Mounting the first offense of the match, Jericho utilized the steel steps, sending Briscoe crashing into them and smashing his head into them as well.

Jericho taunted the crowd as the action returned to the ring. After enduring a series of chops, Briscoe hit a throat chop and went to the top rope. Jericho knocked Briscoe off balance, met him at the peak and delivered a somewhat surprising avalanche hurricanrana.

Momentum swung back Briscoe's way for a brief moment as he landed a series of strikes and executed a fisherman's brain buster for a near fall. Jericho recovered fairly quickly to lock in the Walls of Jericho submission on Briscoe. Briscoe managed to make it to the ropes but was hit by Brian Keith for a near-fall. Keith was neutralized by Rocky Romero.

As Aubrey Edwards took control of the action, Jericho attempted to bring the chair back into the equation. Briscoe turned it around on Jericho, kicking the chair into the challenger's face and then using it as a springboard to launch him and Jericho through the table set up outside.

Both men returned to the ring, with Briscoe looking for a FroggyBow which was countered into a Codebreaker by Jericho. Jericho went for a Judas Effect elbow, which Briscoe ducked and went for a Jay Driller. Jericho escaped and landed the Judas Effect and a Jay Driller, but Briscoe kicked out each time.

An invigorated Briscoe began to absorb all of Jericho's blows and took out the challenger with a Death Valley Driver and FroggyBow. Briscoe pointed to the sky — a gesture for his late brother Jay — and delived the Jay Driver for the win.

Mark Briscoe defeats Chris Jericho in 15:20 to retain the Ring of Honor World Championship

The largest pyro of the night to this point belonged to the AEW EVPs and tag team champions, the Young Bucks. The camera's panned to the Top Flight faction seated ringside.

Much like Darby Allin did the match before, Private Party got a special montage with Amazing Red — an independent wrestling icon — motivating Private Party.

The Bucks cut off Private Party's music and insulted their foes and a brawl ensued, with both teams fighting to the top of the entrance ramp. Quen climbed to the top of the entrance tunnel and delivered a Swanton Bomb to take out all parties involved.

Isiah Kassidy and Nick Jackson started the action when it finally began in the ring. Outside of a facebuster from Nick Jackson, the early action was all Private Party, with Kassidy and Quen delivering a handful of major moves.

Momentum shifted after Matt Jackson sneakily tagged in during an atomic drop on Nick Jackson. The Bucks took out both members of Private Party and began to isolate Quen from his corner, utilizing quick tags and tandem offense.

Quen was able to roll through and evade the Bucks to get a hot tag to Kassidy, who cleaned house with a series of kicks and a springboard moonsault and DDT. Kassidy pulled off two of the more impressive counters of the night, reversing a powerbomb into a hurricanrana and blocking a facebuster to score a near-fall.

After Private Party managed to take out Matt Jackson, Nick came to his brother's aid with a Swanton from the turnbuckle to the arena floor. Action devolved quickly outside the ring as both teams unleashed major move after major move, capped off with a 450 splash from Private Party. Rick Knox's count got to nine before all four men returned to the ring.

Kassidy and Nick Jackson traded blows in the center of the ring before Nick was able to hit a huge top-rope cutter and get a near-fall. The Bucks then set up Kassidy for the TK Driver, which Quen prevented by taking out Matt Jackson. Another chaotic sequence ensued and ultimately resulted in Private Party hitting their finisher, Gin and Juice, but the Bucks kicked out.

As the crowd chanted "Private Party," the challengers kept up the pressure with tandem offense — even stealing a Bucks finisher — but Matt Jackson rescued Nick Jackson from a pinfall.

The Bucks regained the upper hand with tandem offense of their own, as they turned a high-risk move from Private Party on themselves, causing a self-inflicted Poisonrana on Private Party. Private Party kicked out of an EVP Trigger and then Kassidy ducked a second, causing the Bucks' knees to collide.

Private Party would fall short after the Bucks hit a TK Driver and pinned Kassidy for the win.

The Young Bucks defeat Private Party in 15:51 to retain the AEW Tag Team Championships

Washington native Darby Allin got a special video montage prior to his entrance, but Brody King got pyro, so take your pick on which you prefer.

Allin started aggressively against the much larger King, who shrugged off Allin's blows and threw him outside the ring. King grabbed Allin by his waist and slammed him into the barricade. King went to set up steel steps to dump Allin on, but the underdog escaped.

Allin attempted to mount some offense with a leap from the ring to the floor, but King caught him. After being tossed over the ring steps, Allin went to attack King again but was met with a huge fist. King then placed the steps on Allin and walked up them. The first near-fall came back in the ring shortly after King landed a senton on Allin.

King continued to dish out punishment, stalking Allin around the ring and delivering chops, throws and splashes. As King went for an inverted cannonball, Allin dodged it and began to pick up the pace, landing two tope suicidas and a Coffin Drop. Allin's first near-fall came after a Code Red finisher on King.

Momentum swung back into King's favor after he slammed Allin — who had a sleeper hold locked in — onto the ring apron. Back on top, King treated Allin like a ragdoll and knocked him down repeatedly with chops that echoed in the arena. King capped his latest offense off with two waist-lock avalanche German suplexes. Allin somehow managed to kick out after all of this.

King sought the finishing blow with a suplex onto the steel steps, but Allin was able to prevent it and pushed King onto the steel steps. Allin quickly followed with a Coffin Drop onto King. Referee Paul Turner counted to nine and King scampered back into the ring, only to be met with a third Coffin Drop from Allin, who picked up the win.

Darby Allin defeats Brody King in 12:28

After the match, the two men shook hands in a sign of respect.

Both Hologram and Mortos had relatively uneventful entrances for the two-out-of-three -falls match.

Mortos and Hologram showed off their impressive Lucha Libre style in the opening moments of the match before Hologram finally gained the upper hand with an aggressive tope suicida to Mortos outside the ring.

Although Hologram had momentum outside the ring, Mortos regained in back inside the ropes, landing a crucifix driver and pop-up Samoan drop for a near-fall. As Mortos went for a high-impact press slam from the top rope, Hologram reversed it into an avalanche hurricanrana. Hologram followed up to pick up the first pin after just 3:45.

After a quick breather, Mortos began the second fall aggressively, pulling off a tornado tope suicida and a gorilla press slam on Hologram onto the ramp. Mortos all but dragged Hologram back into the ring for a near-fall. Mortos kept up the punishment with glancing blows, a headbutt, belly-to-belly suplex and a spear.

Mortos went for a second spear, but Hologram lifted himself up an allowed Mortos to fall outside the ring. Hologram capitalized with a moonsault from the turnbuckle to the floor. Hologram kept up the pressure with a Poisonrana back in the ring. Mortos regained himself rather quickly, landing a backbreaker followed up by a powerbomb onto his knee and a discus lariat. Mortos picked up the second fall in 8:55.

The third fall started with high stakes relatively early, with Hologram reversing an attempted avalanche backbreaker into a hurricanrana. The next segment was highlighted by a huge Poisonrana from Hologram to Mortos onto the ring apron. Hologram followed up with with a high-risk flip from the turnbuckle to the floor and a stomp. Hologram went for a third major move, a 450 splash, but Mortos got his knees up.

Like much of the final fall, the match returned to the top rope, with Mortos landing an avalanche gorilla press slam for a near-fall and then the same finishing sequence that won him the second fall earlier in the match. Hologram kicked out both times and followed Mortos to the top rope for another avalanche hurricanrana.

Mortos managed to kick out of a cruifix bomb in the closing stages but Hologram was able to hit the Portal Bomb for the first time in the match and score the decisive pinfall.

Hologram defeats Mortos, 2-1, in 16:47

Prince Nana introduced the returning Swerve Strickland to his hometown crowd at the Tacoma Dome. After obligatory "whose house?" chants, the crowd hit Strickland with a prolonged "welcome home."

Strickland provided a "medical update," saying that he has been cleared to return to the ring after his match against Adam "Hangman" Page at All Out last month. As Strickland spoke to the crowd, he was interrupted by MVP and Shelton Benjamin. MVP rehashed their history and his offer to manage the former AEW World Champion.

When it was Strickland's turn to speak, he recalled the impact MVP and Benjamin had on his career and admitted that MVP wasn't wrong about his pitch. He appeared to waffle on if he would choose Nana or MVP and Benjamin but ultimately called Nana "family" and rejected MVP's offer.

Benjamin stepped in, threatening Strickland with an ultimatum before Nana stepped in and a brawl nearly broke out. After referees and AEW officials broke up the scrum, MVP and Benjamin retreated, ending the segment.

Konosuke Takeshita made his way to the ring first, accompanied by Don Callis, who joined the commentary table. Ricochet followed, but Will Ospreay, who entered last, had the largest reaction of the three (especially after the pyro).

Ospreay and Ricochet wasted no time teaming up against Takeshita, knocking him out of the ring. The alliance was short lived as Ricochet and Ospreay turned their attention to each other, showing off their athleticism in a now-patented sequence between the two.

As the fans cheered, Takeshita returned to take out both men and allowing the action to spill outside. Takeshita sent Ospreay crashing into a barricade and took out Ricochet before pulling out a table. Takeshita threatened to slam Ricochet through the table, but he was able to avoid.

Takeshita went for a flying knee on Ricochet in the corner, but missed and spilled to the outside. Ricochet went for a moonsault over the top rope but was caught by Takeshita. Ospreay followed shortly after to take out both men.

The next chaotic sequence ending with a slingblade from Ricochet to Takeshita, who in turn hit Ospreay with a DDT. Ospreay spilled outside, allowing Ricochet and Takeshita to briefly become the focus of the match.

Ospreay returned to the ring with a double springboard Pele kick, taking out both Takeshita and Ricochet. All three men found their way to the ring apron near the table. After a series of counters by all parties, Takeshita hit a Death Valley Driver on Ospreay onto the ring apron and Ricochet followed with a Meteora onto the apron himself, drawing "this is awesome" chants from the crowd.

Ricochet set Takeshita on the table and was going for a high-impact move but Ospreay prevented it. Ospreay's offense was met with a Poisonrana by Ricochet, who went for a splash from the top rope. Ospreay avoided and Ricochet rolled though, eventually right into a Styles Clash.

By this time, Takeshita was able to recover enough to take out Ospreay with a driver and deadlift German suplex. Ricochet went for a move of his own but was caught by Takeshita, who landed a Blue Thunder Bomb for a near-fall. Takeshita was standing tall when Ospreay and Ricochet again teamed up against "The Alpha."

Despite the two-on-one attack, Takeshita removed his elbow pad and delivered punishing strikes. Ospreay and Takeshita trades blows and counters before the champion delivered a hug Oscutter. Ricochet pounced with a splash on Ospreay immediately after for a near-fall.

Ricochet and Ospreay fought to the top rope, Takeshita rose to his feet and set Ricochet up in the Electric Chair. Ospreay improvised to go for the Doomsday Device but Ricochet landed on his feet. A handful of Poisonranas and German suplexes later, all men were laid out once again.

Takeshita set Ricochet up on the top turnbuckle, but Ospreay tripped up Takeshita. A hurricanrana attempt inadvertently sent Ricochet into a pin on Takeshita, which Ospreay broke up. As Ricochet and Ospreay fought, a countered Hidden Blade attempt left Ospreay vulnerable for a Shooting-Star Press from Ricochet. Takeshita pounced, attempting to pin both men.

Ricochet and Takeshita fought on the apron before the Japanese star took out his foe with a huge move through the table. Takeshita returned to the ring but ate two Hidden Blades. As the referee counted, Don Callis pulled the referee out. Callis went to hit Ospreay with a screwdriver, but Ospreay blocked it and tried to take out Callis. Kyle Fletcher emerged and used the screwdriver to hit Ospreay and Takeshita followed with a bare knee strike and picked up the tainted win.

Konosuke Takeshita defeated Will Ospreay and Ricochet in 20:42 to win the AEW International Championship.

After the match, Fletcher hit a Tiger Driver on Ospreay.

Of the two entrances, Perry got the louder reaction — boos, of course.

Katsuyori Shibata wanted a test of strength to start off the match and Perry appeared willing to oblige, but he unsuccessfully shot on Shibata before escaping outside the ring.

When Perry returned to the ring, he did engage in the test of strength before hitting Shibata with a northern lights suplex. As Shibata attempted to attack Perry, the champion again escaped outside the ring. Shibata stalked Perry, and returned inside the ring to gain the upper hand.

Shibata repeatedly no-sold blows and chops from Perry, forcing the heel champion to gouge the challenger's eyes. When it was Shibata's turn, he unleashed massive chops, bringing the champion to his knees. A brief flurry from Perry was met with a suplex by Shibata and both men remained down for a bit.

Perry was first to his feet, spitting on Shibata and attempting to deliver kicks, which Shibata absorbed. Angered, Shibata unloaded on Perry, sending him to the outside and delivering a suplex into the side of the ring. Shibata sent Perry back into the ring, continuing his assault and picking up a near-fall after another suplex.

A quick counter from Perry resulted in the champion locking in a submission hold. After Shibata forced the break, Perry hit a draping DDT from the ring apron to the floor. Shibata turned the tide quickly back in the ring, hitting a pair of Death Valley Drivers — the latter onto his knee — and locking in a sleeper. As Perry was fading, Shibata's shoulders were down and Perry picked up the win.

Jack Perry defeats Katsuyori Shibata in 9:21 to retain the TNT Championship.

After the match, Perry beat down Shibata but was saved by Daniel Garcia. The two shared a staredown before Perry retreated.

With Garcia waiting in the ring, MJF's music hit and the former AEW World Champion made his way to the ring. MJF called for his music to be cut and started to mouth off with Garcia. As they jawed, Perry hit Garcia with his belt and MJF beat down his rival.

MJF went to cut a promo on Garcia, and as he was about make Garcia kiss his Dynamite diamond ring, Adam Cole's music hit and he chased MJF into the crowd.

Willow Nightingale was first to enter, to an overwhelmingly positive response from the crowd. In contrast, Mariah May drew a smattering of jeers from the audience.

Willow tossed around May early in the match, but May quickly turned the tide with a big dropkick and taunted the hard cam by forcing Nightingale to smile while tied up in the ropes. Infuriated, Nightingale laid out May with a huge shoulder tackle and began to beat down the champion.

The early back-and-forth nature continued as May tripped up Nightingale on the turnbuckle and began to beat down the challenger, slowing the pace in the process. Despite all this, Nightingale kicked out at just one during the first pinfall attempt from the champion.

As May continued to taunt, Nightingale bit the champion's ear and started to unload on May, getting a near-fall after a spine buster. May was able to fight out of a gut-wrench powerbomb and muscle her way into a German suplex on Nightingale. Nightingale, seemingly unfazed, locked in a submission hold on May — a modified Figure Four — and delivered a cannonball into the turnbuckle.

May was able to avoid a moonsault from May and quickly capitalized with a missile dropkick and May Day finisher, but Nightingale kicked out. May followed up with a headbutt and Nightingale answered with a lariat, laying out both women.

Nightingale and May exchanged counters and pinfall attempts before the challenger unleashed a brutal Death Valley Driver into the turnbuckle for a near-fall. Nightingale perched herself on the second rope and May pounced, looking for a hurricanrana. Ready, Nightingale caught May and appeared ready to end the match with an avalanche powerbomb but the champion landed the hurricanrana and Storm Zero for the win.

Mariah May defeats Willow Nightingale in 10:53 to retain the AEW Women's Championship

'Switchblade' Jay White and Juice Robinson came out to kick off the show, but the latter did not fully accompany White to the ring for his match with Adam 'Hangman' Page. White drew a solid pop from the crowd while Page was showered with boos — unsurprising considering Tacoma is Swerve Strickland's hometown.

White and Page took a brief pause before engaging in a collar-and-elbow tie up. White had the early upper hand, striking Page with punches and kicks before an inevitable beatdown from Page. White evaded Page as he raced toward him in the corner and began to focus on taking out Page's legs.

Page was able to recover enough to send White outside the ring, moving deliberately and feeding off the hot, angry crowd. Page continued to sell his disrespectful persona by spitting on White. The most impactful move of the match to this point came with a fallaway slam from Page sending White into the turnbuckle.

When it looked like White would unleash some offense with an inverted atomic drop, Page countered with a sleeper hold and threw White to the mat. Even amid the punishment, White remained defiant and evaded an attempted Buckshot Lariat finisher from Page, flipping him off and finally gaining the upper hand with an exploder suplex into the turnbuckle.

White would connect with a big DDT and score a near-fall. White was able to keep up momentum due to Page's leg injury, picking up another near fall with a deadlift German suplex. As both men ascended to the top turnbuckle, Page gouged White's eye but got himself hung up in a Tree of Woe outside the ring. White returned the favor by gouging Page's eyes.

Page quickly recovered on ring apron to deliver a Death Valley Driver onto the apron and set up a Buckshot Lariat. White, desperate, held onto the rope to not allow Page the distance for the move. White played opossum after an elbow strike and hit Page with a dragon screw through the ropes. Page, no worse for wear, caught White and powerbombed him onto both the ring apron and steel steps.

The action continued outside the ring, with Page unloading on White up the entrance ramp. Page removed his belt as the referee pleaded with him. White spit on Page and delivered a huge kneebreaker onto the ramp. The referee and White returned to the ring, seemingly setting up a count-out finish. Instead, White broke the count and beat Page back into the ring.

White continued to strike Page before an ura nage and near-fall. White avoided a low blow from Page and set him up for a Blade Runner finisher, Page was able to reverse suddenly into a Deadeye finisher, but his knee prevented him from making the cover. Page went outside for the Buckshot Lariat but was caught by White, who delivered Blade Runner and picked up the win.

Jay White defeats Adam 'Hangman' Page in 16:27

Kazuchika Okada, AEW's Continental Champion, was being interviewed by Renee Paquette when he was approached by Kyle O'Reilly. O'Reilly asked him for a match, which Okada denied and the two brawled. Christopher Daniels had both men ejected from the arena.

Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd, The Outrunners, drew a big pop from the crowd, as did Orange Cassidy and Kyle O'Reilly.

The Premier Athletes, Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari, drew boos from the crowd while Alex Reynolds and John Silver had the most muted reaction of the four entrances.

Nese and Magnum started the action off, engaging in a pose-off rather than wrestling. As Magnum went for his biceps flex, Nese poked him in the eye. The heel team's momentum was snuffed out quickly by a hurricanrana from Magnum.

Reynolds and O'Reilly each tagged in and the two showed off some technical skill — the most we have seen in a match to this point in the night.

Cassidy tagged in and took out Dark Order members Reynolds and Silver with tandem offense. Cassidy kept Reynolds isolated from his corner and tagged in Floyd. After delivering ten turnbuckle blows, Floyd tagged in Magnum who did the same. O'Reilly followed suit and then Cassidy capped it all off with just one punch.

With Reynolds on his half of the ring for he first time, Daivari, Josh Woods and Evil Uno came to the rescue, with the entire heel team beating down Cassidy. The heels kept Cassidy in their corner and rotated tags to keep each other fresh.

Cassidy nearly made a hot tag after taking out the Dark Order, but Daivari intervened. After a desperation tornado DDT to Tony Nese, Cassidy finally tagged in Floyd, who unleashed a series of body slams. The Outrunners then slammed each other onto the Premier Athletes and delivered a double elbow drop, complete with the "Predator"-style handshake.

The heel team would regain control after playing the numbers game and taking out everyone. With just Daivari and Floyd in the ring, Floyd hulked up and delivered a huge clothesline while also tagging in Cassidy for an Orange Punch finisher and near win. Mark Sterling put Daivari's foot on the rope to break the pin.

After Sterling and the rest of the heel team were neutralized, the Outrunners landed a tandem finisher for the pin on Daivari and victory.

The Outrunners and Conglomeration defeat The Dark Order and Premier Athletes in 11:30.

After the first three matches on Zero Hour, AEW had three intermission segments.

NJPW Strong and TBS Champion Mercedes Moné arrived with Kamille, running into Queen Aminata and possibly setting up a future feud between the two.

AEW President Tony Khan addressed the crowd with Naoto and Hirota Inoki, the grandsons of the late Antonio Inoki, who serves as the inspiration for WrestleDream. Khan led the crowd in Inoki's signature chant, "Ichi Ni San Da!"

Adam Copeland and Dax Harwood, both North Carolina natives, made a plea for relief after Hurricane Helene decimated the area.

Mansoor and Mason Madden were first to make their way to the ring, accompanied to the ring by a returning Jack Rico.

The Acclaimed followed with a very NSFW rap from Max Caster and Billy Gunn gave a quick history of his with Rico.

When the bell rang, Mansoor and Anthony Bowens started the action fast, with a series of lightning-quick pinning combinations. Mansoor tagged in Madden, who overpowered Bowens back into his corner and he tagged in his partner, Caster.

Madden continued to look dominant, no-selling shoulder blocks, but was caught off-guard while "striking a pose." Madden tagged in Mansoor, but that didn't shift the momentum away from the Acclaimed who unleashed tandem offense and isolated Mansoor from his corner.

Mansoor distracted referee Aubrey Edwards, allowing Rico to beat down Caster. Gunn chased off Rico and Mansoor scored a near-fall back in the ring. With momentum on the side of MxM, Mansoor and Madden continued to deliver punishment to Caster. Once again, Mansoor distracted Edwards and Rico intervened again.

Caster was able to counter several moves by Mansoor and get to his corner for a hot tag to Bowens. Bowens took out both members of MxM Collection, punctuated by a massive Fame-Asser to Madden and a Rock, Paper, Scissors signature move to Mansoor.

Bowens went for another Fame-Asser but was caught by Mansoor and he and Madden delivered a tandem finisher and pin which required Caster to break up. MxM continued to build momentum, going for The Acclaimed's signature Scissor Me Timber. The Acclaimed was able to counter the disrespectful showing and land their signature move themselves before action spilled outside.

Bowens took out Madden and Mansoor with a massive cross-body from the top turnbuckle to the floor. Rico attempted to drag Mansoor back into the ring but Gunn took out the MxM's third man. As Mansoor checked on Rico, Bowens took him out, tagged in Caster who landed the Mic Drop elbow for the win.

The Acclaimed defeat MxM Collection in 11:25

Harley Cameron taunted Anna Jay after winning the opening sequence of the match, leading Jay to becoming visibly frustrated. Jay would turn the tides quickly before Cameron bit her hand and delivered a cross-body for a quick one count.

Jay locked in her submission finisher through the ropes, and tapped into a more violent side, hitting a snap suplex on the ring floor and stretching Cameron against the ring post. Jay took her eye off Cameron briefly, allowing her to pull Jay into the ring post herself and continue her offensive on the outside.

As action returned to the ring, Cameron scored three more near-falls while confidently strutting around in between maneuvers. Cameron locked in a straightjacket submission, which Jay reversed with a modified snapmare. Jay began to fight back with a jawbreaker and upped the pace with blows before scoring a near-fall after a flip neckbreaker.

Momentum shifted back Cameron's way after a flurry of kicks and a step-up enzuigiri. The two women exchanged pinning combinations and near falls for the next sequence, drawing cheers from the Tacoma Dome crowd.

The finish came as Cameron climbed to the middle turnbuckle, allowing Jay to counter with a leg kick and land a massive slam to pick up the win.

Anna Jay defeats Harley Cameron in 8:17

Atlantis and Cage observed the Code of Honor by shaking hands at the start of the match.

After a quick superkick, Cage overpowered Atlantis early on in the match. A brief counter by Atlantis was met with a massive spinebuster from Cage. The commentary team sold a neck injury by Atlantis, which Cage also worked early in the match by pressing his knee into Atlantis' neck and whipping him violently into the turnbuckles.

Cage taunted Atlantis by lounging on the top rope before continuing his punishment and scoring a near-fall with a massive side German suplex. After Atlantis kicked out, Cage continued to work the head and neck area. Atlantis mounted a brief offensive driven by evasive counters and highlighted by a pair of hurricanranas, a big cross-body off the top rope and two dives onto Cage outside the ring.

Atlantis continued his momentum with a scoop powerslam and near-fall. The champion set Cage up under the top turnbuckle, but Cage recovered quickly to deliver a kick and superplex for a near-fall of his own. Cage set up his finisher, signaling to the crowd with a throat slash but Atlantis countered, took out Cage's knee with a dropkick and then scored another near-fall with a DDT.

After an impact move from Cage, Atlantis nearly ended the match with a helicopter release powerbomb. Atlantis kept up the attack with a frog splash and went for a hurricanrana off the top rope. Cage was able to counter the hurricanrana into an avalanche powerbomb and eventually land a Drill Claw finisher on his second attempt to score the victory and win the Ring of Honor Television Championship.

Brian Cage defeats Atlantis Jr. in 11:04 to win the Ring of Honor Television Championship

An 8-man tag match between The Conglomeration and Outrunners vs. Dark Order and Premier Athletes was announced during Zero Hour.

The Zero Hour pre-show is advertising 13 matches for tonight's show, but all of the promotional material has 12 total matches and former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland returning. It would be Swerve's first appearance on AEW television since his brutal steel cage match against Adam 'Hangman' Page at All Out. It's possible we see Swerve wrestle against an unannounced opponent.

Earlier this week Uncrowned published a feature story on Bryan Danielson, who is defending his AEW World Championship tonight. Check it out here.

AEW World Championship — Bryan Danielson (c.) vs. Jon Moxley – A lot of work has been done to make Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli and PAC look vicious heels since they turned on Danielson an All Out last month. A Danielson loss would send him into retirement and end a relatively short championship reign. The wild card here is Wheeler Yuta, who could generate significant heat by also turning his back on Danielson. Ultimately, I think Mox walks out of WrestleDream as the new AEW World Champion and we see Danielson give an emotional farewell in his home state. Prediction: Jon Moxley wins the AEW World Championship.

AEW Women's Championship — Mariah May (c.) vs. Willow Nightingale – Unlike Danielson’s title reign, which we’re predicting to end tonight, I don’t believe May should drop the belt to Nightingale here, as she’s the more compelling character right now and the challenger seemingly has unfinished business with Mercedes Moné. Nightingale is great, certainly always deserving of being in the title picture in AEW – I just think the Women’s Championship isn’t the one right now. Prediction: Mariah May retains the AEW Women’s Championship.

AEW International Championship — Will Ospreay (c.) vs. Ricochet vs. Konosuke Takeshita – AEW teased a slight, tenuous alliance between Ospreay and Ricochet on Title Tuesday earlier this week, so look for that to completely unravel in the finish here. Takeshita should take the pin here from Ricochet who somewhat underhandedly wins it without Ospreay being directly involved in the finish. Based on where things are going we could get Ospreay vs. Kyle Fletcher and Ricochet-Takeshita singles matches. The other possible outcome is Fletcher helps Takeshita win and then we get a Ricochet-Ospreay tag team against Don Callis’ crew. Either way, Ospreay won’t be champion after Saturday. Prediction: Ricochet wins the AEW International Championship.

TNT Championship — Jack Perry (c.) vs. Katsuyori Shibata – Perry and the Elite are the predominant heel faction in AEW currently and I have to imagine that at least one of their title reigns will end at WrestleDream. I think Perry’s stock is going to continue to climb and a major title defense against Shibata — especially after his loss to Danielson at All Out — makes sense here. Prediction: Jack Perry retains the TNT Championship.

AEW World Tag Team Championships — The Young Bucks (c.) vs. Private Party – As mentioned above, I think it’s time for one of the title reigns of The Elite to end. The tag-team division needs a breath of fresh air and Isiah Kassidy and Quen can provide that. This should be an absolute spot-fest and as entertaining as any match on the show. Prediction: Private Party wins the AEW Tag Team Championships.

ROH World Championship — Mark Briscoe (c.) vs. Chris Jericho – The Ring of Honor championship gets a rare premium spot on a pay-per-view and it should be a solid, surprisingly personal match between Briscoe and Jericho. I believe Briscoe keeping the belt is best for both him and the prestige of the title in general. Expect some heavy interference from The Learning Tree and The Conglomeration. Prediction: Mark Briscoe retains the ROH World Championship.

Adam 'Hangman' Page vs. Jay White – Violent, heel Adam Page is gaining serious momentum and a loss here would halt it. I don’t see it happening to one of the more popular stars in AEW who could continue a march into an elevated championship picture. Prediction: Adam ‘Hangman’ Page wins.

Darby Allin vs. Brody King – Allin has to win here, plain and simple. He’s one of the most daring and talented stars on the roster, but somehow has failed to meet his full potential outside of his prolonged run with Sting. Hopefully, that all begins to change in his home state of Washington. Prediction: Darby Allin wins.

The Beast Mortos vs. Hologram (two out of three falls) – Hologram hasn’t lost since his AEW debut. Mortos can look strong with a pinfall in this contest and Hologram’s perfect record can still be protected. Prediction: Hologram wins 2-1
