Will Ospreay marked the start of his reign as AEW World Champion on "Dynamite" with a defiant promo, declaring himself the new standard in the promotion while paying tribute to former champions including Kenny Omega, his upcoming rival from All In. The moment carries extra weight given AEW's storyline history, as Ospreay's rise sees him going from admiring wrestling's biggest names to now being ranked among them as champion.

Following his promo, Ospreay took part in a chaotic 10-man tag match that ended with a post-match beatdown, during which Jon Moxley intervened to stop Gabe Kidd attacking him with a chair before handing Ospreay back his title. The broadcast then confirmed that Ospreay will defend the AEW World Championship against Moxley at All Out on 26 September. Andrade El Idolo, who won the Casino Gauntlet match, has also secured a guaranteed future title shot, though the timing of that challenge remains unconfirmed.
