Darby won the first fall in the PPV that took place in his hometown of Seattle, Washington, and Christian won the second fall via count-out after he slammed Darby on the steel ring steps. This move also took out Darby as he was stretchered out of the arena. But Christian delivered a frog splash on him on top of the stretcher to restart the match at AEW WrestleDream 2023.
Christian then ripped the padding of the ring and hit his pendant Killswitch finisher on Darby on the wooden ring floor, but Darby kicked out.
