Omega went for the “You Can’t Escape” combo, but missed the moonsault. He managed to hit a snap dragon suplex. Things pilled back to the outside where Pac hit a tornado DDT on the floor. Back in the ring, Pac hit an avalanche brain buster (looked frightening), but could not quickly follow up. He went back to the top and connected with a missile drop kick. Omega attempted a comeback, but evaded all his offense and used a slingshot cutter for a near fall.

Omega managed to find an opening to use a massive kick to shove Pac back into the turnbuckle. Both men back on their feet, they exchanged forearms and fists in the center of the ring. Pac hit a snap German suplex and Kenny answered with a V-Trigger and a Tiger Driver for a near fall. Pac attempted to fight out of a One Winged Angel, so Kenny transitioned into a high angle German suplex.

With Pac laying in the corner, Omega hit a V-Trigger to the back of the head. Omega then climbed the ropes and attempted a One Winged Angel from the top rope, but Pac hit a sunset flip to evade. After another V-Trigger, Pac still escaped. The crowd chanted this is Awesome as Pac rolled out of the ring. Pac grabbed a chair and hit Kenny Omega in the head twice leading to a disqualification after 15 minutes 54 seconds.

Omega wins first fall and the first disqualification decision in AEW history.

After the 30 seconds expired, Pac immediately hit the black arrow to secure a pinfall victory of his own at 16 minutes 39 seconds.

Pac wins the second fall. Iron Man Match is tied at 1:1 as Dynamite goes to commercial.

Back from commercial, Pac and Omega exchanged strikes on the apron. Pac used a falcon arrow from the apron to the floor with both men unable to get up. Pac hit a basement dropkick to Omega, which also took out the referee. Since the official was incapacitated, Pac pulled a table out and set it up on the floor. He then placed Omega on the table, climbed the turnbuckle, and leaped with a shooting star press through Omega and the table ultimately landing on the floor.

Pac nearly won by count out, but Matt Jackson tossed Omega in the ring at the last moment. With Omega positioned in the corner, Pac attempted another black arrow, but Omega put his knees up. Once both men made it back to their feet, Kenny hit two V-Triggers and a ura nage for a near fall. Omega connected with another V-trigger, but Pac countered the One Winged Angel to hit a reverse hurricanrana. With 2 minutes 48 seconds left, Pac cinched in the brutalizer.  Omega made it to the ropes. Pac went right back to the brutalizer, and Kenny struggled trying to get out and he did after raking the eyes. Pac pulled him right back into the brutalizer and the time expired. Pac attacked referee Paul Turner.
