We hear from "The Glamour" Mariah May backstage. Mariah says she is a complicated woman who does a lot of things that people do not understand, and that is okay. She says that when it comes to why she broke up with Mina Shirakawa, she says she never broke up with Mina and that they are closer than ever before, as every time Mina showed up, she loved America and AEW and wanted to be champion, and she could not deny her that chance at everything she has ever wanted. She says that if Mina wants to be on top, then the AEW Women's World Championship is what it takes to be on top. If Mina can beat her, she can have it all. She says that AEW has Mina, then says it time to see how long she lasts. Mariah says Mina can cry, scream and bleed, but she cannot say that she did not love her.

Anna states that "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo found out the hard way that she is "one fat ass that can't be kicked." While she cannot challenge for the AEW Women's World title, there are other titles, and she does not mind taking the big swing. She admits she usually says "try me," but it is time for her to try someone else.
