Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Adam Cole, who has just shown up. Suddenly, MJF also shows up at the arena. MJF congratulates Cole on pretending to be sick at Forbidden Door, but Cole tells him he was actually sick. MJF then says that the Blind Tag Eliminator is a good opportunity for him, as Adam Cole is close to his level, and asks Cole to think of what they could do as a team and how they could both run AEW. He proposes they bond and hang out together, and Cole accepts the offer. MJF then gifts Adam Cole with a "Better Than You Bay Bay" shirt, much to both Cole's chagrin and outright horror.
Backstage, Renee Paquette is talking to Jon Moxley when Eddie Kingston confronts Moxley again. Renee tries to get between them as Eddie tells Moxley that his carcass belongs to him. Moxley walks away, and Renee tells Eddie to stop before telling him "You'd better fix this. I'm done."

Jericho says that a few days ago, he and Sting were in the ring together for the very first time and that they should have been on TBS with Tony Schiavone commentating years ago.

Konosuke Takeshita joins in as well, and Eddie Kingston runs in to even the numbers only to also be attacked. Moxley says it has been a real blast and that it is about time that things came to an end and that they finished this, as they pushed each other to the limit and they will now push each other beyond their limits.

"Jungle Boy" Jack Perry heads to the ring. He says that everyone has ruined "Tarzan Boy" by Baltimora for him so much that it will never be heard again. He says he is still young, still cashing "fat checks" and "still banging the hottest woman in the entire place" before asking the fans if he turned on Hook or if everyone turned on him. Jungle Boy says that after everything he has done for AEW and being robbed of two world championship, he will not sit here and watch "an entitled second-generation little prick" dangle his title in his face when it is not even officially recognized. He also tells Hook that he does not even recognize him before calling him a fraud and telling him he never needed him and that JungleHook was special because of him, especially when his last team was world tag team champions. Jungle Boy says he knows the importance of the FTW Championship to Hook and his family, and that this is why he is going to take it from him. He says that when he gets his hands on Hook, he will "beat the shit out of him." Hook shows up, but Jungle Boy jumps the barricade and Hook gives chase to the back. The chase soon goes backstage, where Jungle Boy dives into a car that soon speeds off.
Ruby Soho beats Alexia Nicole with the Lockjaw to send a message to Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. (Ruby's opponent for tonight was originally Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. in the first round of the Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament, but Britt Baker is not medically cleared due to illness.) After the match, Alexia Nicole gets spray painted. Ruby Soho thanks the fans for "their disgusting, filthy, germ-ridden country" getting Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. sick before stating they will wrestle next week and that first-year rookies get what they want in AEW. She calls Adam Cole and Britt Baker's potential kids "weak little bastards" before addressing Britt telling her in their last meeting that she did not know who she was before stating she loves who she is now and that Britt is now a shell of her former self. Ruby then says that Britt barely beat her last year on her best day, and since then, The Outcasts have taken everything away from her and that next week, she will take being a two-time tournament winner away from her and ensure she is ultimately nothing.
