The main event saw Kenny Omega defeat Jon Moxley in an Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch to retain his AEW World Championship. Omega would hit the One-Winged Angel on Moxley onto a steel chair and get the pinfall victory. Afterwards, Omega and The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson) would end up beating down Moxley. Eddie Kingston would jump into the ring and cover Moxley before the ring exploded. The explosion or lack thereof was mocked and criticized online.[1] Omega was said to be very angry backstage about how the ending happened.[2]

Ethan Page and Christian Cage both made their AEW debuts during the event.
