The evening began with the Women's Blood & Guts match, where Mercedes Mone, Megan Bayne, Marina Shafir, and The Triangle of Madness (Thekla, Julia Hart, and Skye Blue) triumphed over Kris Statlander, Toni Storm, Willow Nightingale, Mina Shirakawa, Jamie Hayter, and Harley Cameron. The match concluded when Toni Storm surrendered while witnessing Shafir and Bayne assault Shirakawa.
In the Falls Count Anywhere match, AEW World Champion Hangman Adam Page defeated Powerhouse Hobbs. Following the match, Page escalated the stakes for his upcoming title defense against Samoa Joe by challenging him to a steel cage match at Full Gear.

Background and Context
The Blood & Guts event is a signature AEW spectacle, characterized by its brutal, multi-person matches held inside a two-ring steel cage.

I want to defend it as much as I can. That’s the goal, right?” This sentiment underscores his commitment to maintaining the championship's prestige.
Criticism & Opposition
While the event was well-received, some fans expressed concerns regarding the predictability of match outcomes, particularly in the context of Page's ongoing storyline with Samoa Joe.
