Backstage, we hear from Jurassic Express ("Jungle" Jack Perry and Luchasaurus).

In footage from earlier today, Jon Moxley meets Darby Allin in an undisclosed location that looks like a prison visitation booth. Moxley wants to make sure that both men know the implications of an "I Quit" match and tells him that "the game is rigged in both directions." Moxley says the two of them both refuse to quit and that he is out of ideas as to how make this end, then tells Darby that if he wants to be on the . Darby says it is too late, and while he entertains the idea of joining The Death Riders and the cost of it, he does not respect Moxley due to what he did to Bryan Danielson. He asks why he would go to war with someone who considers family disposable. Moxley says that this is a war for the future of their craft and that hard decisions and sacrifices have to be made. Darby says that he realized AEW represented freedom at the top of Mount Everest and that Moxley is chipping away at what AEW represents, then says that before he looks at the flag every day to remind himself of that, he will wrap it around Moxley's throat and make Moxley realize that nothing he does mean anything when his empire comes crashing down. Moxley tells Darby that his opponent is not him and never has been; instead, he is fighting ghosts and spirits of the past, which he says never ends well. Moxley says that this is a selfish game and tells him once again that this is not about him before Darby is suddenly attacked from behind by PAC. Darby is bloodied and is heard coughing on his own blood, which also stains the window. Moxley then leaves the room.
The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, Daniel Garcia, Marina Shafir) are seen entering the arena.

After the match, "The Toxic Spider" Thekla shows up on the video screen and congratulates Hayter, then admits she attacked her months ago just because Hayter was "just there."
