Rollins says he only stomped him because he was being a bit of a jerk and "being a bit of a b-hole." Miz says he is an A-type of person, not a B-type, and when Rollins asks if Miz is admitting he is an "A-hole," Miz says that is not what he meant. Rollins then says he has a favor to ask of him, as he has been trying to get a hold of Logan Paul and it has been proven difficult, and thinks Miz might have better success calling him as he knows him better. Miz declines, saying Logan Paul is Rollins' problem, not his. As he calls Rollins "a goofball in a stupid jacket," Rollins superkicks him.

He says that if one has an issue with a loved one, it is better to work it out than to look at their dead body in a coffin, as regret is one of the worst things to live with. Bully says that if something were to happen to Dreamer, he would be at his funeral and would probably carry his casket, and that Dreamer would do the same for him. He says life is too short, and for the benefit of Impact, Busted Open Radio and their friendship, he would rather stay on good terms with him, because he does not want to be in a situation where if one of his friends died, he did not make amends with them. Dreamer says this has gone way too far and that they should go their own way.

He says he has beaten Swann once and can do it again, but Swann chalks it up to Swann trying to take him off his game and states that he has to focus on the World Championship while Maclin has to focus on facing three other men to become #1 contender, which only gives him more motivation to win the World Champion and beat him at Rebellion.

Steve Maclin beats Heath, Brian Myers and PCO in a four-way match to become #1 contender for the Impact Wrestling World Championship after Eddie Edwards shows up and hits PCO with a shovel. After the match, Trey Miguel shows up. He says that while tonight's show continues to be occupied by people who are fighting to be champions, he is not even on the card. He says that Director of Authority Santino Marella and everyone in the back has forgotten about him, and says this would not have happened to "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Chris Sabin, or Frankie Kazarian. He says that this is about his legacy and that it is time people put respect on his name, and that he proved himself a generational champion when he beat Crazzy Steve earlier in the week in a Monster's Ball Match.
