Overview
- Darby Allin, who won the belt last week, kept the AEW World Championship on Wednesday by making Tommaso Ciampa tap to a Scorpion Death Lock in Portland.
- Following the main event, Brody King confronted Allin and secured a title match for next Wednesday on Dynamite, which Allin accepted on air.
- MJF interrupted Allin’s in-ring remarks earlier in the show, rejected the result of their title switch, and demanded the championship back.
- AEW also booked MJF to face TNT champion Kevin Knight next week, giving him a path to a different singles title as the world title picture shifts.
- Samoa Joe returned from injury with a win, and Mark Davis beat Will Ospreay by medical stoppage before the Death Riders carried Ospreay out, sharpening storylines heading into Double or Nothing on May 24.
