Following Wednesday's "AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam," the second half of AEW's annual New York special features two championship matches, including Jack Perry's TNT Championship open challenge and Komander and Private Party attempting to take the AEW World Trios Championship from PAC, Claudio Castagnoli, and a potentially reluctant Wheeler Yuta, as well as an AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match between Kazuchika Okada and Sammy Guevara.

Saraya's music hits and she comes to the ring with Harley Cameron by her side as we kick things off!

Jamie Hayter comes down, but Harley Cameron is on the mic. She says there's one more rule this evening: the match does not begin until Saraya "slaps the slag." Hayter offers her face willingly, shoves Cameron, then takes the slap. Hayter takes the advantage and stomps Saraya in the corner, but she's fighting Cameron as well so it's basically a handicap match. Hayter manages to get to the outside, where she delivers a kick to Saraya and rolls her into the ring. Cameron grabs Hayter's leg, however, and while she's distracted, Saraya hits Hayter with a VCR, then proceeds to hit her while she's down with a keyboard. Saraya wraps the keyboard cord around Hayter's neck and chokes her for a while before going for a pinfall, but Hayter kicks out at one.

Saraya tosses Hayter from the ring, where Cameron attacks her on the outside, throwing her into the ringside barricade.Cameron mounts Hayter and chokes her, then picks her up so Saraya can give her four shots to the head with a baking sheet. On the fifth shot, however, Hayter dodges and Saraya hits Cameron, then delivers a German Suplex to Saraya on the outside. Cameron jumps on Hayter's back, but Hayter runs her into the barricade. Saraya nails Hayter in the back with a steel pipe to regain the advantage, then grabs a backpack and upends it to spill toy cars all over a table. No word on when that got set up.

Hayter fights back and takes out Cameron, then throws Saraya into the barricade. She throws Saraya back in the ring and celebrates, Saraya goes for a basement dropkick but Hayter catches her. Cameron with the distraction again, allowing Saraya to attempt another attack, but Hayter sends her crashing to the floor. Hayter chases Cameron around the ring, then climbs to the top rope, dragging Saraya with her. Cameron climbs up and grabs her, however, allowing Saraya to hit Hayter with a chair, sending both Hayter and Cameron into the toy car-covered tables. Saraya goes for a cover outside the ring but Hayter kicks out.

Saraya gets in the ring and she wants a count-out victory. As usual, the referee gets to nine before Hayter throws herself back into the ring. Saraya hits whatever she's calling the Rampaige now, but Hayter kicks out. Saraya goes for a powerbomb, but Hayter reverses, gets Saraya on her shoulders and runs her through a table that somebody set up in the corner. Again, no word on the tables situation. Saraya goes to whip Hayter's head into a chair set up in the corner, but Hayter reverses and does that to Saraya instead. Hayter with a Tombstone Piledriver, but she doesn't go for the cover. Hayter drags Saraya back to her feet and hits a massive lariat for the victory.

Winner: Jamie Hayter

In a backstage interview, Renee Paquette is talking to Ricochet and Will Ospreay. Ricochet compares himself to Kobe Bryant and says he wasn't even here a minute before the Don Callis Family and Ospreay got in his face. Ospreay says Ricochet has forgotten who he is and calls himself the best wrestler in the world right now.

All six men immediately go after each other following their respective entrances. Jericho chops Orange Cassidy into the corner, then delivers punches. Jericho goes for a running attack on Cassidy, but Cassidy turns his back and Jericho runs into his backpack. Cassidy hits Jericho with the backpack and reveals it had a brick inside it.

Briscoe puts a table in the ring and delivers shots to Jericho before going to set up the table in the center of the ring. Jericho rolls up Briscoe, who kicks out. Briscoe goes for the Jay Driller and hits it, but instead of pinning Jericho he puts him on the table and goes to the top rope.

After the match, Jericho makes the title belt gesture, signaling he's coming for Briscoe's ROH World Championship. Rocky Romero comes out to ensure no further violence occurs.

Brody King walks out to the ring for his match with Action Andretti, who is having anger management issues. Andretti's stable comes out with him at first but then lets him go out there on his own. Andretti attacks right away and starts attacking the back of King's knee, then comes off the ropes with a dropkick. Andretti with a standing Shooting Star Press for a one count. Andretti runs at King again but King slaps him down. King lifts Andretti up on his shoulders, but Andretti escapes and starts weaving around King, eventually hitting him with an enzuiguiri from the apron. Andretti goes for a springboard move but King clocks him in the face, sends him into the corner, and delivers the Cannonball for the three count.

Perry gets in the ring, but before he can say or do anything, Minoru Suzuki's music hits, and he comes out to accept the open challenge.

The bell rings, and Perry and Suzuki stare one another down. Suzuki gets the crowd into it, Perry, poses to boos. Perry delivers a forearm to the face, then another, and a third. They're not doing anything. Suzuki is asking for more, gets it, then delivers a shot of his own, which drops Perry to his knees.

Claudio Castagnoli's new music hits and he and PAC come out alone at first. As they make their way to the ring, Wheeler Yuta eventually joins them. Private Party enter to the ring alongside Komander, all looking more serious than usual.

Marq Quen starts things off with PAC, and he's aggressive, driving PAC into the corner and delivering a dropkick. As he comes off the ropes, however, he gets hit by Claudio, who drops him from the apron. PAC delivers stomps to Quen, then tags in Claudio, who delivers hits of his own. Claudio offers a tag to Yuta, but he doesn't take it.

The ref calls for the bell.

Winners, and still AEW World Trios Champions: PAC, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta

After the match, PAC and Claudio express their pride in Yuta, who seems to realize what he's done and flees to the back.

A video for the Outrunners plays, and now it's time for Hologram!

Hologram comes out, followed by Dralistico and The Beast Mortos. The match opens with an exchange between all three wrestlers that ends with Mortos hitting a double clothesline. Dralistico with a head scissors on Hologram, Mortos with a corkscrew takedown on Dralistico, Hologram with a wristlock arm drag on Mortos. All kinds of things are happening now, this match is going extremely fast, with lots of flips exchanged between all three men. Sorry, that's the best you're gonna get with what just happened.

Dralistico misses Mortos with an enzuguiri but hits Hologram. Dralistico sends Mortons to the outside then hits him with a tope suicida, after which Hologram follows up with a top of his own on Dralistico as we go to commercial.

RUSH delivers a headbutt, taking Hologram down. RUSH, Dralistico, and Mortos make the gesture of La Faccion Ingobernables.

In a backstage interview, Kris Statlander is taking to Lexy Nair about how nobody talks about her big wins, but it's okay, because she's not insecure. If you were to design a women's wrestler from the inside out, it wouldn't even be close to something this good. Every woman in AEW should be saying "Thank you Stat," because when you face her you get better or you get destroyed. Maybe both.

MxM Collection come out and they have what is presumably Max Caster's jacket hidden under a black cloth. Mansoor asks if the crowd is ready for the "Grand Slam" finale to New York Fashion Week, then the two introduce each other and touch tips. Mansoor says they reclaimed Max Caster's jacket because it was ugly, like Max, and was emblazoned with a lie, saying that Max Caster is the best wrestler alive. This makes them crack up. They've made some alterations though. They promise that all the male models will be just as handsome as them.

Some music hits and a series of people holding Mason and Mansoor's faces on popsicle stick masks in front of their faces walk out to the ring as MxM Collection announces where they're from and what they're wearing. There are maybe six of them. After asking the crowd to cheer the models, they take off the black cloth to reveal a very large muscular man named Hans wearing Caster's modified jacket. The jacket now says "Best Dressed Alive." Mansoor then asks Hans to "take it off." Hans is doing a lot of posing and showing off his muscles. Mansoor says Hans would be perfect for MxM Collection and says it would be a honor if he would touch their tips. Hans grabs their fingers instead and takes off the stick mask to reveal that he's actually Billy Gunn.

Gunn attacks MxM but the models take him down, which brings out The Acclaimed to take everyone down. The Acclaimed give one of the models a tag team move, then Caster puts on the jacket and scissors both Gunn and Anthony Bowens while MxM Collection are apoplectic on the ramp and hey it's time for another commercial.

"Hangman" Adam Page's music hits and he comes down for his Lumberjack Strap Match with Jeff Jarrett. There are several lumberjacks outside, including the Bang Bang Gang and Dark Order, all holding straps. Now it's bree-woo time as Jarrett comes out with his guitar and his stable, including Karen Jarrett, Jay Lethal, and Satnam Singh. They apparently still don't have a collective name, go figure.

The lumberjacks bang their straps on the mat and Page attacks, getting into a strike exchange with Jarrett. Page whips Jarrett off the ropes and catches him with a big boot. Jarrett sends Page to the apron, but the lumberjacks can't hit him unless he's on the outside. Page gets Jarrett into the corner and delivers punches and chops. Page whips Jarrett again, misses a clothesline, but catches his dive attempt and hits a Fallaway Slam. Jarrett rolls to the apron, Page comes after him, Jarrett back drop Page to the outside but Page quickly gets back in the ring. Page goes for a Deadeye but Jarrett counters and gets Page into a Sharpshooter, or at least tries before Page bites him as a counter. Page sends Jarrett to the outside, but Jarrett's people are also lumberjacks and won't attack him. When Page throws Jarrett to the other side, however, the Dark Order and Juice Robinson do strap him. Jericho gets back into the ring, Page hits him with a belly-to-belly suplex for a two count.

It seemed like we were going to commercial but apparently not. This is awkward. Page gets Jarrett into the corner and slowly delivers chops and taunts the crowd, which seems like something you'd do if you thought it was picture-in-picture. Anyway Jarrett manages to get the upper hand for a moment, but Page knocks him to the outside again and the Bang Bang Gang gleefully straps him. He gets back in the ring where Page hits a suplex for two. Page now trying to kick Jarrett out of the ring, but Jarrett stands up on the apron. Page delivers punches but Jarrett fights through it and wants to be hit again. Now we are having problems with the feed, which seemed to briefly go backward, and now things are just completely messed up and we have white letters on a black screen.

Okay so after the feed went backwards a few times, trying to restart things like Hangman's entrance before glitching out, we're finally here, in the commercial break that was probably meant to happen earlier. Looks like we're back in real time in the ring judging by the picture-in-picture so we'll get right back into it in a moment.

Now the picture-in-picture has gone away but there are still commercials and this is legitimately hilarious.

Okay we're finally back and Jarrett hits a Russian leg sweep on Page and throws him out of the ring, where he gets strapped. Jarrett hits a leg lariat on Page while he's against the ropes but Page throws Jarrett to the outside and hits a basement dropkick. Now Page is on the outside and he's fighting all the lumberjacks, beating up everyone. Page sets up for the Buckshot Lariat but Juice Robinson hits him with a strap while he's on the apron, which the referee can't see because it's illegal. Page and Robinson getting into it, but Jarrett climbs to the top rope and dives on them. Jarrett gets Page back in the ring and goes for the Stroke, but Page counters and hits Jarrett with a strap, which he got somehow. Karen Jarrett now in the ring and Page is threatening her with the strap. Karen covering Jeff and Page is being conflicted. Page goes to hit Karen but Lethal stops him. Page straps Lethal. Jarrett is back up and he straps Page. Page rolls to the outside and Dark Order strap him a ton. And now the Bang Bang Gang join in. Juice hits Page with a palm strike, Lethal holds Page while Singh straps him and rolls him back into the ring. Jeff holds Page while Karen straps him but Aubrey is holding Karen back and Page delivers a low blow, following by the Deadeye for the win.

Winner: "Hangman" Adam Page

After the match, the Bang Bang Gang come to Jarrett's aid, so Page attacks them and tries to hang Juice over the top rope. The Gunns fight him off and stare him down as Page walks backward up the ramp.

Here comes Okada, who is wearing the title belt and a very nice black-and-white dragon trenchcoat. And now Sammy Guevara is here, accompanied by his ROH tag team champion partner Dustin Rhodes.

The two circle and lock up, Okada gets Sammy's back but Sammy switches. Okada break's Sammy's grip and turns it into a wristlock. Sammy counters with a backflip and locks in a wristlock of his own. Okada breaks the hold by grabbing Sammy's hair and pushing him back into the ropes while the ref counts. Okada pretends to slap Sammy's chest but pats him on the head instead. Okada with a kick and a punch to drive Sammy down, snapmares him over into a sitting position, then hits the ropes and delivers a dropkick. Sammy kicks out at one after Okada takes his time making the cover.

Okada with a whip but Sammy reverses, flips over him and delivers a dropkick. He then does a springboard and flips back into the ring for a cocky pose. Okada goes to get back in the ring but but Sammy dropkicks him off the apron again and then hits a tope con hiro to the outside. Sammy throws Okada back into the ring and prepares to do another springboard move, but Okada rolls to the other side and back to the outside. Sammy runs around the ring, runs up the steps and jumps to deliver a leaping cutter to Okada on the outside. Sammy is selling that the move hurt him too as he gets back on the aprin. Goes for a moonsault to the outside but Okada dodges, kicks him in the gut, and hits a DDT on the outside. Okada smiling like a maniac as we go to what is presumably our last commercial break.

Back from break, Okada has a cravat on Sammy but he fights out with elbows. Sammy counters a whip and bounces off the ring several times but gets caught by Okada, only to hit a big move driving Okada's head to the mat. Sammy and Okada get into a strike exchange that Okada wins. Okada sends Sammy into the ropes again but misses the lariat, Sammy bounces off the ropes and nails Okada, kips up, then knocks him to the outside and hits a tope. Sammy climbs to the top rope and crosses himself before hitting Okada with a moonsault to the outside. The ref is counting with both men down. Sammy uses the barricade to climb to his feet and gets Okada on his shoulders, but Okada counters. Sammy runs at Okada, who counters again into a back drop that sends Sammy into the ring steps.

Guevara selling his knee as Okada gets him into the ring. Okada sends Sammy into the ropes with a whip and hits a standing dropkick, then goes up to the top rope and comes down with an elbow drop. Okada goes for the Rainmaker pose but flips the crowd off instead. Okada goes for the Rainmaker but Sammy counters into a cradle for two. Sammy rolls onto the apron and goes for a springboard move but misses. Okada shoves the ref into Sammy but Sammy counters his next move and his the GTS. Sammy attacks Okada in the corner, hits an enzuguiri from the apron and goes for another springboard move, but Okada catches him and hits him in the back of the head with the Rainmaker for three. No Continental title shot for Guevara.

Winner: Kazuchika Okada
