Eleven matches were contested at the event, including three on the "Zero Hour" pre-show. In the main event, MJF defeated Jay White to retain the AEW World Championship. In other prominent matches, "Timeless" Toni Storm defeated Hikaru Shida to win her record-tying third AEW Women's World Championship and Swerve Strickland defeated "Hangman" Adam Page in a Texas Death match.
The event was also notable for the signing of international wrestler Will Ospreay to AEW. Ospreay had been competing on AEW programming while he was under contract with New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). He officially joined the AEW roster in February 2024 after his NJPW contract expired.
