The Usos then head to the ring after Jimmy says that Jey has a point.



Backstage, Bray Wyatt says he is not the type of person who likes to share their feelings and that it is only harder when he gets interrupted. A backstage hand interrupts him, and we see images of Uncle Howdy as Bray says he hates himself and how he thinks. He tells the backstage hand to look him in his eyes and apologize to him. The backstage hand apologizes, then leaves.



The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) head to the ring. Jimmy Uso tells Jey Uso that they are on their way to making history and becoming the longest-reigning tag team champions ever in WWE history starting at Crown Jewel, and Jey Uso says it starts with The Brawling Brutes (Ridge Holland and Butch).

MVP is in the ring. He mentions Braun Strowman being in action tonight just before his match against Omos at Crown Jewel, then says he used his connections to find five opponents for Braun Strowman tonight. As five random wrestlers show up and head to th ering, Braun Strowman runs out and shoulder tackles through them all before confronting MVP. MVP rolls out of the ring as Strowman gets in, and when he swings his cane at him, Strowman grabs and breaks it. Strowman then throws MVP around on the outside before throwing him into the ring and hitting him with the running powerslam. He then picks MVP back up to hit him with another one. Strowman then teases hitting MVP with a third running powerslam, then he picks MVP up and does just that.



Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Imperium (Gunther, Ludwig Kaiser, Giovanni Vinci). Gunther takes the microphone and says that tonight, he will step in the ring and successfully defend his championship with dignity, respect and honor. He says Rey Mysterio has no honor and that this is why Dominik Mysterio turned his back on him, and that him being Intercontinental Champion will not change.

We hear from Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Cruz del Toro, Zelina Vega). Santos Escobar says that he thought Shinsuke Nakamura was a smart man, but he was forced to make an example out of him. Zelina Vega says the time for talking is done, and that everyone in WWE will see why their empire cannot be stopped.
