Hart introduced Hangman Page, who became one of the top two challengers to the title by winning the Casino Battle Royale on the Double or Nothing pre-show. Page last eliminated MJF to win the battle royal.
Before the title was unveiled, MJF came out and insulted Hart and Page. The segment led to Jungle Boy and Jimmy Havoc stopping MJF as he tried to leave. MJF tried to punch Jungle Boy, but Jungle Boy blocked it. Jungle Boy and Havoc both struck MJF. Page then threw MJF into the crowd, and Jungle Boy and Havoc followed him.
Page will face Chris Jericho at a later date to decide the first AEW World Champion, though when that match will be taking place hasn’t been announced.
