Twelve matches were contested at the event, including two on the "Zero Hour" pre-show. In the main event, Jon Moxley defeated Swerve Strickland to retain the AEW World Championship. In other prominent matches, Kenny Omega defeated Ricochet and "Speedball" Mike Bailey in a three-way match to retain the AEW International Championship and Adam Cole defeated Daniel Garcia to win the AEW TNT Championship.
