MJF's Pinnacle stablemate, Wardlow, also tried to interfere in the match to assist The Salt of The Earth. However, he was quickly taken out of the equation by Jake Hager of The Inner Circle.
The match featured a false finish when MJF pinned Chris Jericho after executing a Judas Effect, though Aubrey Edwards failed to see Le Champion's leg was on the rope.
However, the official standing outside the ring told Edwards about the situation. Justin Roberts then announced that the pinfall had been nullified, much to the joy of the Chicago crowd. Moments later, MJF locked Jericho in a submission, and it looked like the former AEW Champion might just tap out.
