Tony Schiavone is in the ring to reveal the announcement of a new National Championship in the ring to start tonight's show before The Opps (Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata) show up. Joe immediately confronts Tony Schiavone and expects him to state he had nothing to do with the attack on him last week, which he finds hard to believe, then says there are consequences for actions and consequences have come from Schiavone. Security shows up and stands between Joe and Schiavone, and Joe tells Schiavone that he is only going to get more people hurt in this situation. Suddenly, "Hangman" Adam Page shows up, and The Opps take a step back as security holds him back. Joe says that The Opps will get to take care of two problems at once, and Schiavone flees as Eddie Kingston and Hook show up to stand alongside Hangman, with Kingston holding a crutch in his hands. The Opps retreat. Hangman tells Joe he is right here, and if Joe wants to handle his problem, he will beat Joe's ass in his Wranglers. Hook challenges The Opps to a World Trios Championship match tonight, and Joe takes exception to how Hook is talking to him before accepting his challenge so he can kick his and Hangman's asses.

Briscoe challenges Fletcher to a no-disqualification match for the TNT Championship at Full Gear. Callis, seeing that there is something for both men in the match, proposes that when Briscoe loses, he must join his family and leave The Conglomeration forever. Briscoe says it is a deal with a devil, but only if it is a deal on his end, and accepts Callis' stipulation, telling him that he will not lose.

It is announced that Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin are the first two confirmed participants. The Hurt Syndicate make their way to the ring, and MVP mentions the name that held the National Championship back in the NWA before asking who is more iconic than Lashley or greater than Shelton. He says that with Lashley and Shelton in the match, the prize is The Hurt Syndicate's. On the subject of Lashley and Shelton having to face each other, the fans will win as much as The Hurt Syndicate itself. Suddenly, The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) shows up, and Ricochet says that they are here to give The Hurt Syndicate the credit they deserve, as no matter how old they are, they hobble down the ramp into their ring and talk about championship gold. Ricochet then states that he spits facts every time he is on the microphone, and that he has done everything to ensure The Hurt Syndicate never wins gold again. MVP says nobody cares about what Ricochet has to say, and that The Demand are only good at getting hurt, then threatens to beat them up right now. Ricochet says the demand will be met and that he will walk out National Champion. MVP then says "You talk shit, we hurt people. Let's run it." He dares The Demand to get in the ring, but The Demand keeps their distance.

Backstage, we hear from Jurassic Express ("Jungle" Jack Perry and Luchasaurus). Jack Perry says there are things more important than money, like friendship.

Roderick Strong soon finds an opening and sends The Death Riders into a retreat.

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) head to the ring. Cash Wheeler mentions how they won a four-way tag match to become #1 contenders for the AEW tag titles, then says they should have been three-time tag team champions at Forbidden Door and that Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) took it away from them. He then calls Brodido out, but Brodido fails to show. Renee Paquette is backstage with Stokely Hathaway near Brodido's dressing room. Brodido cannot get out of their dressing room. Dax Harwood regrets the situation before mentioning Bandido's family - including Gravity - being in the front row, and mockingly says it was beautiful that Bandido's mother supported Bandido's Ring of Honor World Championship victory before mocking her age. He also keeps her from answering any questions he asks her in full, then proposes that FTR adopt her as their aunt. Gravity jumps the barricade only to get ganged up on. Backstage, Brody King punches his way through the door, grabs Stokely, and frees Brodido from being trapped. Stokely runs towards the ring as Brodido follows suit, sending FTR into a retreat.
