W. Morrissey beats Brian Myers in a Tables Match despite the interference of Matt Cardona and Chelsea Green, both of whom are thwarted by Jordynne Grace.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Rich Swann and Willie Mack. Willie Mack says they've had their problems with The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson), but they will beat "Switchblade" Jay White and Chris Bey and prove they have bullets but no guns. Matt Cardona and Chelsea Green interrupt as they try to get Brian Myers to a doctor, and this leads to an argument between Cardona and Swann where Cardona says Swann would still be a world champion if it weren't for a poor attitude. Swann then dares Cardona to put his money where his mouth is and put the Impact Digital Media Championship on the line.

"Inevitable" Ace Austin retains the Impact X Division Championship against Rocky Romero. After the match, Trey Miguel shows up and attacks Ace Austin, getting the upper hand. Trey then tells Austin to keep the X Division Championship warm for him, because his days are numbered and he has cashed in his rematch clause for Under Siege, where he will leave as a two-time X Division Champion.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander. Josh says that as X Division Champion, he stated he would be the face of the company, and now that he is world champion, he is that face. Josh says that to be the face, he must defend the world title against the best the world has to offer. He says he has gotten Tomohiro Ishii's message loud and clear and that he will prove that the Impact World Champion is the best wrestler on Earth.

Backstage, we hear from The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe). Jay and Mark tell Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner) that they have two days, and that wherever they go, they run the show. Jay says that at Under Siege, he and Mark will be the next tag team champions. They are interrupted by Violent By Design. Eric Young proclaims they are what power and control look like, and while The Briscoes are brothers by circumstance, they are brothers by choice. He says that The Briscoes are trying to take what means the most to them - their power and control - and at Under Siege, Violent By Design will prove that the world belongs to them.
