Backstage, we hear from The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Marina Shafir). Claudio says that this Wednesday, he will do something for himself and he will beat Adam Cole one-on-one and show just how ruthless he is as Cole loses his edge. He then says he will leave enough of Cole for Dynasty for him to lose another chance of becoming champion. Jon Moxley says he fears three people in this world: his mother, his sister and his wife, but that was before he met Marina Shafir, and when Shafir snaps, he knows he will be the one to piss her off. He looks forward to Willow Nightingale and Shafir tearing each other apart, then admits Swerve Strickland talked a really big game and that he will have to back it up. Shafir addresses Willow Nightingale, telling her to try to keep smiling when she rips her liver out and shoves it down her throat. Moxley awkwardly steps back.

Serena Deeb says that this was preventable, and that she had the game plan, yet Aminata did not listen to her. She says that every time Aminata listens to her, she wins, but when she does not, she loses and even gets injured. Aminata tells Serena that she is not listening to her "trash," and Serena says that while she respects her decision, she knows she is right, then hands her the binder that she has been carrying around for some "light reading."

Jamie then declares for the women's Owen Hart Tournament, and that she will leave All In Texas as a champion.
Undisputed Kingdom (Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) heads to the ring. Shortly afterwards, Daniel Garcia arrives with "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard and heads to the ring for his face-to-face meeting with Adam Cole. Adam Cole says tensions have been high, but he still has all the respect in the world for Daniel Garcia, calling their last two matches two of the hardest in his career and Garcia "the future of AEW" and "a fighting champion." He says that in their last match, neither of them got the job done, and that this needs to end with one man proving that they are better than the other, and Adam Cole says it is him. After Cole says that they must finish this fight, Daniel Garcia says that he has been in the ring with him for almost two months straight and that it eats him alive that he cannot beat him. Daddy Magic asks Daniel Garcia how many opportunities Cole is going to get, as it is his job to beat him, and that he does not have to do this. Garcia says he does not have to do this, but he wants to, and is down for a rematch. Roderick Strong agrees with Cole saying that Garcia is the future of AEW, but says Garcia is "not there yet." Daddy Magic takes offense to this, then Garcia says he has had enough of the noise and the distraction, then declares there will be no seconds at ringside in the rematch. He says there will be no seconds and no time limit at Dynasty, and this time, there will be a winner, and it will be him.

Athena then mentions that Billie Starkz has a match tonight with Jamie Hayter and tells her that she will be watching very closely.
