Just like WWE, AEW has been forced to host their events in an empty arena due to the coronavirus pandemic. While for a weekly show, it might not have the most impact, at least for AEW, hosting a PPV without fans takes away from the crucial crowd reaction during matches. Mike Tyson appeared on the event to present the new AEW TNT championship to the victor between Cody Rhodes and Lance Archer.

However, the 'Baddest Man on the Planet' was forced to jump out of ringside after WWE Hall of Famer Jake 'The Snake' Roberts tried to cause interference in the match. Tyson made his away into the ramp as he got rid of his shirt and confronted Roberts, revealing his impressive body transformation. Cody Rhodes won the match and was presented the TNT title by Mike Tyson.
