CM Punk heads to the ring. As the crowd chants "CM Punk," Punk says that is not the name he needs to hear right now, as there are two people who are not here today and one of them has a legitimate reason for that, and that name is Jon Moxley. The crowd chants for Jon Moxley, and Punk says he can sit in the ring all night long for people to chant for Moxley. He admits that he and Moxley may not be the best of friends, and says that he knows where it is like to take himself off the hamster wheel after helping others. Punk says that he is proud of Moxley, and he says that if anyone is in a place where they think they need help, they should reach out, as there is nothing harder and more courageous than asking for help, saying there are times he wishes he did. This then brings up the other name who is not here tonight: Eddie Kingston. He says that he was embarrassed for Kingston last week and he does not know what is happening, and says that while he would fight him over a grudge he does not know about, he is not here. He says that if Eddie has the balls, he has the time, and Eddie can see him in St. Louis, Missouri to apologize for interrupting him. CM Punk says that while he considered entering the World Title Eliminator, Kingston is to blame for it not happening. Punk says he will soon find out what kind of man Eddie Kingston is.

MJF heads to the ring. He tells Darby Allin to "cut the crap," saying that without the two of them, "this company doesn't work." He says they have been top guys for a while, unlike the other two pillars, because they have "it" and the fans know who they are and who they will become: legendary. MJF then wants to know why he is booed while Darby is cheered, then realizes that people hate them because he reminds them they are not successful while Darby is like the fans but knows he cannot function in society. He says that Darby is just like the fans and while never wins, and while he may feel cool now, he is a loser when he gets in the ring. MJF says Darby will lose to him at Full Gear because he is weak and too concerned with battering him instead of beating him. MJF then says that even if Allin can change his ways in ten days, he is still the better wrestler, and says he has not been beaten because he is so good that he can beat Allin with a headlock takeover. Allin, who is sitting in the rafters, admits that he may be an outcast, then says he will maintain his composure and have a wrestling match. MJF leaves before Allin can leave the ring, but his path is blocked by Sting and some men in black with paper masks. Suddenly, Shawn Spears attacks with a chair, and Sting and the men in black are all attacked by The Pinnacle. This does not stop Darby and MJF from brawling in the crowd.
