We hear from Mickie James, who says that she was on the tip of everyone's tongue when she made history by walking into the woman's Royal Rumble match while Knockouts Champion. She says that high will not get in the way of what is in front of her tonight.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo and "The Drama King" Matthew Rehwoldt. Deoona says she is glad Mickie James is confident tonight after clinging to her for fifteen minutes of fame, and says that it is over tonight. She says that tonight is the first pay-per-view in two years in which she has not walked in as Knockouts Champion, and tonight, that ends, because she has a Plan A and a Plan B. Suddenly, Gail Kim shows up and says that if Matthew Rehwoldt puts his hands on Mickie James, he will be fired and Deonna will lose the match. Deonna becomes furious, and says that Mickie will not be walking into the women's Royal Rumble match.

Eddie says the time has come and it is time for Hardcore War, then says he look at his team and that he has zero doubt that they will do whatever it takes, including dying, to win. Rich Swann says he has four teammates ready to get it tonight and that they are ready to get hardcore. Willie Mack says there is no more running or sneak attacks, and Rhino says it does not matter how many people he has to go through tonight to twist Eric Young's head off, kick it down the street, and put it back on so he can rip his intestines out and choke him with them before making him bleed.

Eddie Edwards, Rich Swann, Willie Mack, Heath and Rhino beat The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) and Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner). After the match, two people jump the barricade and attack Heath and Rhino. They are The OGK (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett), and they attack Swann and Mack before being joined by Vincent. All of a sudden, PCO shows up and lays out both Swann and Rhino with a double clothesline. As the four invaders from ROH stand tall following a spike piledriver from The OGK to Willie Mack and a somersault senton from PCO to Rich Swann, they are joined by Maria-Kanellis Bennett, who - along with Mike Bennett - has not been in Impact in four years, and the five of them stand tall.
