Renee asks Cassidy how he’s feeling, and he gives her a friendship bracelet.

AEW International Champion Will Ospreay and AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland come out for their face-to-face. Will Ospreay says last week Swerve said he can’t carry the weight of both worlds, but Ospreay says he’s more than capable of that. Ospreay says he’s about to test Strickland because he’s the best wrestler in the world today.
Swerve Strickland says Ospreay already messed up because he’s the best wrestler in the world. Strickland says they have taken two different career paths for the last five years, and it all culminates at Forbidden Door. Strickland says last year at Forbidden Door, Ospreay needed help to beat Kenny Omega and questions if that’s what he’s gonna do this year.
Will Ospreay says he doesn’t need Don Callis or the family and he can do this by himself. Ospreay says what he did to Omega last year was only the beginning of the Summer of Ospreay, listing off a list of big names he took down. Ospreay says while Swerve had a “Hit Row,” he had a hit list, and he took out every single one of them.
Will says just because he retired one move doesn’t mean he can’t beat him with another, and whatever move he chooses to use, Swerve will wake up the next morning without his title. Strickland says he doesn’t go by “what ifs.” He goes by certainties. Swerve reminds him that this is his first pay-per-view main event.
Strickland says this AEW World Championship will consume him, and he’s trying to warn him. He says he’ll have to sacrifice his wife and son. Ospreay says not to mention his son again and not to make this personal. Prince Nana calms things down and tells them to save everything for the Forbidden Door. Nana asks whose house it is. Ospreay says it’s his house and tries to leave.
But Strickland once again invokes the name of Ospreay’s wife and son, which has the two men go face to face, screaming at one another.

Mina says everyone wants her, and nobody wants Toni, and she’ll take Storm’s title and her girl at Forbidden Door before signing the contract. Toni Storm says if Mina raises her voice at Mariah like that again, she’ll slap her bloody tits off.
Storm says chin up, tits out, and watch for the shoe before signing her contract. Mina says Mariah must choose between them, but before she can, she’s interrupted by Saraya, Harley Cameron, and Anna Jay, who attacks from behind.
