Tony Schiavone is in the ring, and he introduces the AEW World Champion, Adam Page, and the number one contender, Kyle Fletcher, who is with Don Callis, for their contract signing. Schiavone tries to give the contract to Fletcher, but Callis stops him and says he has something important to say to Page. Callis says he remembes when he took the title from him when he beat Kenny Omega years ago and says he is ready for Fletcher to bring it back to the Family. Page says he is glad that Fletcher has agreed to do the match on his own, because he sees the potential in him.
Page says Fletcher could be in AEW for decades and could be someone that the roster looks to to carry the company forward. Page says Fletcher will have to be worthy of that and will have to prove that he can do it on his own. Page says the contract says that if anyone in the Family gets involved in the match, Fletcher will be disqualified and will be stripped of the AEW TNT Championship. Callis flips out, but Fletcher is calm and says it doesn’t scare him. Fletcher says he is scared of nothing and nobody being involved will change nothing. Fletcher says he is the best to ever step in an AEW ring and he will fulfill his destiny at All Out by coming the AEW Men’s World Champion.
Fletcher says he is better than Page was in 2019 and 2021, and he is better than he is right now. Fletcher says AEW doesn’t need Page or Omega anymore, but it does need him. Page says he knows how it feels to be Fletcher, but Fletcher doesn’t know how it will feel the morning after All Out. Page says everything that Fletcher gives him will not be enough. Schiavone says the match is official after they both sign the contract, and then Fletcher says there is one more thing.
Fletcher says he is a man of his word with no physicality during the signing, and no interference this Saturday, but he promises he will leave Page bloody and beaten by the end of the night. Fletcher tells Page to say his full name before leaving the ring with Callis.
