After the taping ended, O'Reilly was about to cut a promo for the fans in attendance when he was suddenly interrupted by Max Caster. The former AEW World Tag Team Champion then issued a Best Wrestler Alive open challenge that was answered by Bryan Danielson.
After Caster and Danielson came face-to-face, Adam Cole hit Caster with a Superkick and the American Dragon submitted Caster in eight seconds with a LeBell Lock to win the match.
Danielson then put over Kyle O'Reilly following the match, announcing that he was joining Paragon for one night as Kyle Danielson. The arena then filled with The Final Countdown, which Danielson called "The Final Kyle", to send the fans home happy.
