After the match, Leon Slater says that Cedric Alexander denied him a title shot two weeks ago because Cedric knows he is a "little bitch." Slater then challenges Cedric for the X-Division Championship, saying he will give whatever it takes.

Moose mocks Frankie Kazarian throughout, showing off the sunglasses and scarf he stole from him which he says make him look like a douchebag. He tosses the sunglasses and scarf away. Moose calls the fans in Philadelphia his very special guests for tonight, then has some fun with the fans and gets a "Moose!" chant going, saying he will beat Kazarian at Lockdown before Kazarian shows up. Kazarian calls what is going on right now "stupid" and fails miserably to get the crowd on his side before declaring that he is royalty while Moose is "a failed football player" and stating that comparing the two of them is like comparing filet mignon to Wawa gas station food. This gets a brief "Wawa" chant started before Moose tells Kazarian that while he can insult him, he does not insult his guests, and that he will punch him in the face. Kazarian says he does what he wants when he does, then says Moose is a miserable failure as a husband and a father.

Swerve thinks Hangman and Brodido have become friends through "trauma bonding" after having beef with all of them, mentioning his history with them all before asking Hangman what his legacy will be now. Hangman says he has been watching Swerve for the past year and states that Swerve should not be one to talk about results after his heinous actions this year that he has nothing to show for. Suddenly, The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) and The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal, "Vanilla Baby" Blake Christian, "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson) show up, and Ricochet says they are on trios business while questioning why Prince Nana and Swerve are in the ring in the first place, given his history with Swerve. He also says that Brodido and Hangman stole the Trios titles from them, as Toa Liona's shoulders were not on the mat, and that the titles should still be theirs. Ricochet then demands that The Demand get a championship rematch. He then tells Swerve to get out of the ring as he has nine guys out here who all hate him and even more people who hate him in the back, and as Swerve leaves, he says that Brody King does all the barking while Ricochet is the bitch.

Golden mouths off at Dustin and calls him a joke and a fraud, who calls for security, when Derrick King shows up. Derrick King says Terry Golden only created Kick-Ass Wrestling because he could not succeed in real wrestling and hired a bunch of misfits to run a company, and Golden says that nothing has come out of Memphis Wrestling and that KAW was only the beginning. He says that KAW actually sold tickets, unlike Memphis Wrestling, and says that Derrick King is as much of a fraud as Dustin and that he was the one to sign a contract with WWE. Derrick King says Terry Golden may have made Hall of Famers, but he is not a Hall of Famer himself and neither is KAW, and proposes a match between KAW and Memphis Wrestling's best. Golden says Derrick has never been in a real fight and calls him a paper champion and Dustin a paper chump before accepting the challenge, saying that it will never be the same and that "all the white trash" in Memphis Wrestling will work for him. This leads toa shoving match between Derrick and Golden.
