AEW debuted a circular cage to keep all 12 men housed in. The unique setup brought its own type of dangerous fun for each of the competitors. Thumbtacks were introduced into the mix, Kyle O’Reilly used a Nintendo Entertainment System as a weapon, Kevin Knight was shocked at the top of the cage and fell through a few tables and even Lio Rush made an appearance.
It all came down to whether Team Briscoe would be able to conquer the Don Callis Family and MJF. Andrade El Idolo, who was supposed to back MJF, had his own chance to put Briscoe away. But he refused to take orders from MJF and took off his "Team DCMJF" shirt to reveal some gear with some expletives aimed at the champion and Don Callis.
