Cole hit a destroyer but MJF was able to bust out a superkick and both guys were down.

* Cole and MJF hit each other with clotheslines at the same time and there was a double pin. The crowd booed and the referee said the match was a draw. Cole got on the mic and demanded five more minutes with MJF. MJF said no because five minutes wasn’t enough and “it’s going until we got a f*cking winner in Wembley.”

* The match restarted and there was a referee bump. MJF grabbed a chair and tried to act like Cole hit him. While Cole argued with the referee, MJF rolled up Cole but Cole kicked out. MJF then hit a heatseeker DDT but Cole kicked out again.

* Cole recovered and gave MJF a Panama Sunrise on the floor. Cole got MJF back in the ring and went for a cover but MJF kicked out.

Roderick Strong then showed up and gave MJF a low blow. Cole hit the PS and the boom kick but the referee was slow with his count and MJF kicked out.

* Strong tossed the AEW title in the ring and told Cole to use it while saying he was Cole’s best friend. Cole hesitated and threw the title down. Strong walked out on Cole in disgust. MJF then rolled up Cole with an inside cradle and scored the victory to retain his title.

* After the match, Cole was crying. MJF tried to motivate him by saying the people still love him and it could’ve gone either way. MJF brought in the ROH tag team tiles and Cole threw them down. MJF was furious and dared Cole to hit him with the AEW world title. Strong returned and told Cole to hit MJF but Cole once again refused. MJF and Cole ended up hugging it out and pyro went off as Cole raised MJF’s hand.
