The bell rings and Santana lands a forearm. Ortiz catches him with a dropkick and goes flying out of the ring to level him on the outside. Ortiz rains down right hands and grabs the lid of a garbage can from under the ring. He cracks it across Santana’s spine, then grabs the garbage can itself and does the same thing. He finds a kendo stick and cracks it across Santana’s knee, then sends him crashing into the barricade and hits him with the garbage can once again.

Back from the break, Santana and Ortiz land headbutts on one another before exchanging right hand strikes in the center of the ring. Ortiz lands a German suplex, and Santana returns the favor. Ortiz lands a dropkick, but Santana catches him with a neckbreaker and sets up for a discus clothesline. Ortiz counters into a powerslam and a vertical suplex, then exchanges more strikes with Santana and rolls him up. Santana kicks out and lands a discus lariat, then delivers a cannonball and gets him up on his shoulders. He then plants him with a powerbomb for the win.

Winner: Mike Santana

After the match, Santana looks to fist bump Ortiz but Ortiz declines to do so. Santana leaves as Sonjay Dutt makes his way into the ring to talk to Ortiz. The two head to the back together.

We then head over to a video hyping up the AEW World Championship match between MJF and Kenny Omega tomorrow night on “Collision”, including clips from the two men addressing one another directly. Following the video, we see Kenny Omega being visited by Jay White and Don Callis offering the help of The Don Callis Family to MJF for the match, to which MJF assures him that he’ll be fine on his own. 

Back from the break, we see Kris Statlander confront Skye Blue and Willow Nightingale about their behavior after being sprayed with black mist by Julia Hart. Nightingale admits she’s feeling weird but it hasn’t affected who she is. Blue takes the opposite approach and insists that she’s perfectly normal.

Back at ringside, Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford are waiting in the ring.
