He says that Cody is a good person who goes the extra mile, and yet he gets taken out and put on a stretcher after Orton does what he does. Sami admits he does not know what to think about this, and feels the more he does the right thing, the more things go wrong and the more he believes that the world he believes in does not exist.

Orton says that for years, when his entrance music hit, everyone sang along, and says that he showed love and gave back to the fans in return, which he admits puts a smile on his face. He then says that this smile is the most emptiest feeling he has felt in his entire life, and that while he has been in the business longer than most, nothing last forever, and he wants his legacy measured in the amount of world championships around his waist. Orton mentions winning the Elimination Chamber match, and while he knew who he needed to be to beat Drew McIntyre, "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes beat McIntyre first. He says that he loves Cody and still does, but Cody took that burden off his chest by telling him to be the best version of himself not just for him and the fans, but for himself, and to listen to the voices. Orton states that sometimes when listening to the voices, he does not always have control, and while he and others can get hurt, he needs that killer instinct to become a fifteen-time world champion.

Carmelo says that for one of them, tonight will be champagne, but for the other it will just be pain. Dragunov says the pain will entertain, but asks if it will be his or Carmelo's.
We hear from The Irresistible Forces (Nia Jax and Lash Legend). Nia says it has been years since since The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella) have teamed up and have never won tag team gold, and that they have a snowball's chance in Hell of beating them. Lash Legend says that The Bella Twins are just trying to relive their glory days and trying desperately to stay on their heels, then says that other people want their titles and that it is time to put them all in check. Nia says The Bella Twins will be lucky to survive tonight after they demolish them, and all The Bella Twins can do about it is nothing and like it.
Jade Cargill heads to the ring. Cargill says she is not here to play around and calls out Rhea Ripley, as she knows she is backstage. Rhea Ripley shows up and heads to the ring. Rhea says that they said all that there is to say and that she does not feel like talking to her anymore, but Cargill says that while Rhea Ripley needs the WWE Women's Championship, she does not need the title or the fans. She says that Rhea Ripley has fought to be something, then says that with or without professional wrestling, she has always been "that bitch." Rhea is right about Cargill saying she needs the title, as she lives for this after having fought for this since she was sixteen years old. Cargill says she does not care about Rhea has had to sacrifice or the rest of the locker room, as she made wrestling matter, and without her, Rhea disappears. Rhea takes exception to the disrespect that Cargill is showing, and says that as long as the WWE Women's Championship has been around Cargill's waist, the title needs her, and now she wants that title and she is going to take it. Rhea then welcomes Cargill to the big leagues and dares Cargill to hit her after stating that they are done talking, but Cargill says she will do it on her time and leaves.

Cedric Alexander tells Leon Slater he owes him an X Division title opportunity and that he has come to collect.

Santana says that they know each other more than most, and when he came back to TNA, Maclin was the one person who helped him prove to himself that he had what it takes to be in TNA. He knew there was only one stop at the top, but he saw Maclin as a brother and the one who would have his back. Maclin says that Santana is the one with the ego and that he would still speak up for him. Maclin talks about how he stepped up to minesweep for a platoon of twelve men in Afghanistan, knowing any step could have been his last and made it two miles without a casualty. The waiter shows up with the drinks, and Maclin passes one of them to Santana. Throughout the conversation, Maclin drinks up, but Santana does not even touch the glass Maclin has provided for him. Santana says that while Maclin fought someone else's war, he fought a war with himself and made his past a superpower while Maclin made his past his excuse. Santana takes off his sunglasses and hopes Maclin is ready for Sacrifice, and that all the turmoil and drama that Maclin has caused had been for something, for he will have to fight for everything he talked about when the bell rings. He then states that when he wins, all of this will be for nothing, and Maclin will have to go home, look in the mirror and know that he failed, as he was not the man that he said he was.

Prince Nana is in the ring, and he introduces Swerve Strickland after bragging about what Swerve did to Brody King at Revolution. Swerve makes his way to the ring. Swerve talks about how he and Brody went to war and how the only real winners of wars are the ones with power. He admits that he enjoyed beating down Brody, but he was not satisfied, as the power in AEW still lies elsewhere, and power is sometimes more important that championships. Swerve says that he has dealt with people with power for a long time, and says that if it were not for The Young Bucks, he would be a two-time AEW World Champion by now. He then addresses Kenny Omega, and asks what good #1 contendership is if he does not have the power to protect it. Swerve says it makes no sense to beat Omega twice and have nothing to show for it, but he has something that interests him: his power. Swerve says he does not want Omega removed from power; instead, he wants his power, and he wants to block out anyone else who thinks they can get it. He tells Omega to offer up his EVP status if he wants his rematch, and states that when he beats Omega, he will become AEW's new Executive Vice President.

In backstage footage from after Revolution, MJF says that he has had some of the greatest matches as well as the greatest World Championship reign of all time at Revolution. He says that he feels the effects of his match with "Hangman" Adam Page, but it is worth it because he won on his 30th birthday and has accomplished more than most Hall of Famers. He plans to go down as one of the best of all time and he is ahead of schedule, and while Hangman was in the way, Hangman is off the board and in the mid-card where he belongs while he has a one-way ticket to "GOAT" status for the next twenty years.

"Jungle" Jack Perry and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) beat The Don Callis Family ("The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, Rocky "Azucar" Romero, Trent Beretta) in a trios match after biting The Don Callis Family in the dick collectively to counter three piledrivers. After the match, Nick Jackson admits that while The Young Bucks had a great trios match with Jack Perry tonight, they blew it at Revolution and felt for sure they would become tag team champions to the point that their families were in the front row. After Nick admits that FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) was the better team that night, Matt admits he was so embarrassed to look anyone in the eye at his birthday party. It took their father to tell them that they are the best tag team on the planet and that the fans still love them, and that he was proud of them. He says that their father is not wrong about this one, as The Young Bucks know who the hell they are, and that there is no team in the back that will stop them from becoming four-time tag team champions. Suddenly, Adam Copeland and Christian Cage show up, and Copeland admits that they respect The Young Bucks, saying that their match at Revolution was one of the best he had ever laid eyes on. Copeland also mentions how FTR attacked his wife Beth, and while he admits Beth is a badass, he could not look her in the eye. Now that Beth has turned the corner, he has come back to rectify the situation. Copeland says that to do that, he and Christian must take what matters most to FTR, which is the AEW World Tag Team Championships. He announces that he and Christian will face FTR at Dynasty for the tag team titles. Christian says it is also personal for him, too, as winning the tag team titles means he wins "a ton of extra money" and prove that he and Copeland are the best tag team of their generation and the best of The Young Bucks' generation. FTR and Stokely - now no longer in a wheelchair - show up, but nobody in the ring wants to hear from Stokely and tell him to shut up. Stokely sics FTR on both teams only for FTR to get laid out. The Young Bucks leave the ring as Copeland and Christian hold the AEW World Tag Team Championships to end the show.

Ricky Saints heads to the ring. Saints says that nothing can dampen his spirits because he is the real main event and things are looking up, and after a small setback, he and "All Ego" Ethan Page are pivoting back into title competition. He says that he and Ethan beat Myles Borne and Joe Hendry because they are a great tag team, then says that if it were not for The Vanity Project, they would be in the tag team tournament; thankfully, they only want singles gold and the tag division is safe. Saints claims that he will soon take his place as a two-time NXT Champion when "All Ego" Ethan Page shows up and reminds Saints that he pinned Joe Hendry.
