Suddenly, Tatum Paxley shows up and challenges Lola, wanting to know if Lola is always ready like she says she is while teasing Lyra's hair, much to Lyra's annoyance.
Backstage, Wes Lee is seen with crutches.
Wes Lee is on a crutch in the middle of the ring. Wes says he was entertaining the thought of beating "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio to become North American Champion again, but it will not be happening at Deadline. He says that Dominik cannot handle his heart, which can take on any opponent under any circumstance and the one that people cheered on week after week to inspire him to do things he never thought he could, but his heart and that support cannot help him right now. He says that it will not help with the excruciating pain and that it will take time and surgery for him to come back. Wes admits he does not know when he will return, but when he does, he will further cement his legacy as one of the best to ever do this. He says this is not a goodbye, as he is far from being done, and for now, he will see the fans later. As Wes Lee leaves, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio shows up and mocks Wes Lee. Dominik says he does not doubt that Wes Lee needs surgery, as he looks like he could barely stand, then says his back hurts for carrying WWE for the past two years, then says he has the night off. Wes Lee tells Dominik he still has a match at Deadline, and Rey Mysterio says he will be there to make sure the match happens when he is the corner of Dominik's new opponent: Dragon Lee. Dragon Lee heads to the ring, and both he and Dominik brawl until Dominik flees.

Byron Saxton is in the ring with Fallon Henley, Tiffany Stratton, Kelani Jordan, Lash Legend and Blair Davenport. Tiffany says it will all start and stop with her, as she is the favorite going into the women's Iron Survivor Challenge because she is the best and future of the women's division. Kelani says she may be the newest woman coming in, but last time she checked, nobody else in the match was in it last year. She says her gymnastics career has kept her endurance top-notch, and that nobody will be able to keep up with her. Lash says nobody wants to hear Kelani speak, and says she begs to differ about Tiffany's athleticism. She says she knows a few things about multiple pinfalls thanks to Noam Dar, and she will bully everyone into the penalty box. Blair says she is not here to one-up everyone with one-liners and says she does not like anyone in the ring right now, and that she does not care about anyone's opinions and that everyone is afraid of her putting them on the shelf. Fallon says she does not care whose ass she has to kick to win the match, but Tiffany tells her she has no chance of winning while cutting Lash off. After Byron Saxton says everyone told her they would not do this, Fallon says well-behaved women rarely make history before punching Tiffany, starting a brawl.
Axiom vs. Nathan Frazer ends with Fallon Henley, Tiffany Stratton, Kelani Jordan, Lash Legend and Blair Davenport brawling their way into the ring. As this goes on, Nikkita Lyons returns and kicks Blair Davenport in the head on the ramp.
At Chase University, Andre Chase addresses the student body about what was mentioned in the press conference last week, then says the person who put the university in severe debt is him. Due to the investigation, the university is now under academic probation and that a few sanctions have been placed on the university, and anyone who enrolled after the investigation began will lose out on financial aid. Chase says he owes hundreds of thousands of dollars plus interest, and that he had to take out a loan after spending all his own money on the university and spending university assets afterwards. He says that he cannot pay back the loan and that he will have to do something to pay it back as quickly as possible. After taking ideas from other students, Riley Osborne suddenly speaks up, saying that Chase should look into taking a course on financial risk while also bringing what he learns from it into Chase University. Chase likes the idea, and Thea Hail ends up looking at Riley like she is in love with him, which does not go unnoticed by Jacy Jayne.

In a video from X, Lexis King says that when one is a star, the camera always finds them, and now everyone is talking about Carmelo's match tonight and how he will supposedly interfere in it. He says he would not cost him a shot at the Iron Survivor Challenge, but at the same time, Carmelo knows that he does not miss, either.

Tyler Bate beats Joe Coffey, Carmelo Hayes and Eddy Thorpe in a men's Last Chance Fatal 4-Way to qualify for the men's Iron Survivor Challenge. During the match, medical staff have to check on Thorpe after Joe Coffey hits Thorpe with a spinebuster on the ring steps. After the match, Tyler Bate says that he is the last to qualify and that a match unlike any other awaits him. He says to hell with peace and tranquility, and that the other competitors have no chance. Suddenly, Dijak shows up and says Tyler is as delusional as Eddy Thorpe before kicking Eddy in the ribs as he is held to the back. He then says that Tyler's heart must be working overtime if he thinks he will win. As Tyler says he has much more than just a chance, Bron Breakker shows up and says neither Dijak or Tyler know what they are in form, and that they should both hope and pray that they are the last entrant in the match or else they are going in the penalty box, which will become the safest place to be. He tells them to stay in the box after he sends them in there, then Josh Briggs shows up and says everyone underestimates him and that he likes it like that, as he has waited for his moment his entire life and he is betting on himself and shocking the world at Deadline. Breakker says Briggs is stupider than he looks before Trick Williams shows up and states that he will whoop everyone in the match. As Dijak says the only trick that Trick should be whooping is Carmelo Hates, Trick punches him in the face, starting a brawl that security and officials quickly gets involved in to break it up.

Ilja Dragunov and Baron Corbin have a face-to-face meeting in the ring. Dragunov tells Corbin he has turned their championship into more than a battle for the title on his shoulder after he brought his personal life into it, and while Corbin can mock him, he will pay for mocking his sacrifices. Corbin considers Dragunov's sacrifices "excuses," and says he has turned his back on his son, took a plane to America and left, and makes excuses so he can sleep at night, as those excuses are what his father did to him. Dragunov quickly takes off his suit and tie, then says he is trying to contain this, for if he unleashes it now and not on Saturday, then there will be no match on Saturday and he will leave in an ambulance with no opportunity to add his title to his lavish life. He then calls Corbin "a materialistic son-of-a-bitch," but Corbin says this is about vindication. Corbin says this is just another high-profile match for Dragunov to prove to his son why he is here, but he has to win to prove that his work to get where he is was worth it. Dragunov topples the table, but Corbin says he has been through hell and back and has always found a way. He then dares Dragunov to put him through the table in the ring and do it for his family, but he does not. Corbin says he will take away his only reason for being here, but Dragunov grabs Corbin suddenly and tells him that the only one who can destroy the dragon is the dragon himself. Afterwards, Tyler Bate, Trick Williams, Bron Breakker, Dijak and Josh Briggs brawl their way into the ring, and security and officials have to break up the brawl. The brawl ends with Bron Breakker putting Trick Williams through a table.
