She then mentions another match against Kris Statlander in the TBS title semi-finals, and when she beat Kris Statlander, the fans booed her out of the building. Ruby then says that when she faced Jamie Hayter, nobody was going to be on her side or appreciate her when she lost, and mentions that Toni Storm was underappreciated as champion and Saraya was turned on by the fans when she came out of retirement. She says that they are here to rebuild the women's division, but one cannot rebuild with a broken foundation and the foundation is undeserving "little shits" and entitled rookies who think they deserve everything. She then demands to fight Skye Blue, and Skye Blue shows up for the next match.

Tony Schivone interviews FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) in the ring. Wheeler says FTR had a great 2022, but says the last few months have not been very good, as they lost to The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster and Anthony Bowens) and The Gunns (Austin and Colten Gunn) and lost three sets of tag team titles in less than a month before losing Jay Briscoe. He says they needed to step away and take a breather, but they cannot stand by as The Gunns call themselves the best tag team in wrestling, as they are "spoiled, entitled, disrespectful little assholes." He says that "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn gave them every advantage while his own father taught him how to fight and how to be respectful, and now he plans to teach that to The Gunns. Dax Harwood says that in a time when he felt he was incapable of being loved, professional wrestling never left him, and this is why he loves the fans. He talks about how he closed the book on the greatest trilogy of matches in their career, then says The Gunns ruined the moment and that it is time for retribution and to hit them where it hurts by become AEW World Tag Team Champions.

Garcia says it is only fair that they become #1 contenders for the AEW trios titles, and Guevara says that the Society is "the sexiest group alive." Hager says he likes his sexy hat. Jericho declares the Society the #1 contenders for the trios titles, then calls out The House of Black (Malakai Black, Brody King, Buddy Matthews). The lights go out, but The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson) shows up instead. Omega says The Elite have stayed out of Jericho's business and that Jericho has not gotten in theirs for the last three years, then Don Callis shows up, takes the microphone and states that The Elite defined the trios titles and should be #1 contenders. Callis then mentions his friendship of 33 years with Jericho and admits that while Jericho is one of the best of all time, but he is only "the second-best wrestler from Winnipeg."
