In the end, Bill and Cage won the bout by last eliminating The Butcher. With the win, they earned a shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championship.

The Battle Royale also marked the in-ring return of Jeff Hardy, who hadn’t competed on AEW TV since the June 21 episode of AEW Dynamite, where he and Matt Hardy lost to The Gunns (Austin and Colten Gunn). Matt later said that Jeff suffered a dislocated jaw when Jay White and Juice Robinson attacked them after the match.
