In the main event, Jon Moxley defeated Orange Cassidy to retain the AEW World Championship.

It is one of AEW's "Big Five" PPVs, which includes Double or Nothing, All In, All Out, and Revolution, their five biggest pay-per-view events produced throughout the year.

[5] To promote the event, AEW produced and aired a full-length video package set to the Guns N' Roses song "November Rain", reviving a practice undertaken by Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) to promote its own November to Remember series of PPVs in the 1990s.

[6] At WrestleDream on October 12, Jon Moxley defeated Bryan Danielson to win the AEW World Championship for the fourth time.

Eventually, Orange Cassidy and most of the AEW locker room came to Danielson's rescue causing Moxley and his stablemates to retreat.

Cassidy then ran out, with most of the AEW locker room, to Taylor causing Moxley and his stablemates to retreat.

[7] On the November 9 episode of Collision, Perry defeated Action Andretti to retain the TNT Championship.

[19] On the November 20 episode of Dynamite, Big Justice announced that his friend and fellow social media personality The Rizzler would serve as the special guest timekeeper for the match.

[22] May later announced that she would celebrate her title win only when her friend and tag team partner Mina Shirakawa returned.

A.J., with his son with Big Justice, and QT Marshall, with The Ace of Space Academy, were scheduled to face off but before that Paul Wight, who was also going to provide commentary during the match, brought out The Rizzler to be the special guest timekeeper.

[24] Backstage, Mercedes Moné scolded her bodyguard Kamille and told her not to accompany for her upcoming AEW TBS Championship defense against Kris Statlander later in the night.

In the end, Takeshita hit Ricochet from the top rope and pinned him for the win and to retain his title.
