Jon Moxley defended his AEW World Championship in the main event of Worlds End against Jay White, “Hangman” Adam Page and Orange Cassidy. However, the champion wouldn’t have long to make his second title defense of this reign, as he and the Death Riders were interrupted by a returning FTR and Adam Copeland.

In the fight itself, the three challengers formed an uneasy alliance at the start after a brawl broke out in the crowd between them and the Death Riders, who teamed up for a Shield-like triple powerbomb that sent Moxley flying through an announcer’s desk – which seemingly resulted in Mox bleeding from the back of his head. But soon their ambitions and with them their own goals would collide, exchanging attacks and finishers and interrupting each other’s falls. Page specifically pulled the referee out of the ring to stop Cassidy from hitting Moxley, for example.

Page later hit two deadeye finishers on Moxley, only to be hit by White’s Blade Runner. White appeared to have won the match after a blade runner against Moxley, but Wheeler Yuta attacked the referee to stop the count. Marina Shafir then joined in the melee, or rather she tried to, as she ran into a Blade Runner from White to the surprise of everyone, including himself, but that allowed Yuta to land the Busaiku Knee, followed by a Death Rider DDT by Moxley for the pinfall (after Claudio Castagnoli threw the referee back into the ring for the count). Moxley and his stablemates then attempted to compound White’s defeat with a post-match beating, but FTR’s music hit allowing the tag team to return, but as they walked down the ramp the lights went out. The lights returned to the arena to show “Rated FTR” on the big screen, followed by Copeland’s music heralding his own return. Together they beat Moxley down until he is brought back by the Death Riders, whereupon Copeland declares that they will take everything they have.
