AJ Francis makes his way to the ring. AJ Francis says 2026 has been "a money year" for him not just in the bank or in the ring, but because he has lost 300 pounds of dead weight by kicking KC Navarro and Rich Swann to the curb. He says that he lost "half of me, and that half of me makes masterpiece after masterpiece" before comparing himself to some musical greats and calling himself "the artist of a generation." AJ Francis debut a song called "Walk," the cover of which is AJ Francis looking like a dead ringer for Elijah. All of a sudden, the real Elijah shows up as AJ Francis performs, saying he showed up just as AJ Francis was about to embarrass himself. He also says that he had to see this for himself, and Francis insists that his new track is his music and his intellectual property. The two of them argue over whether the cover for the new song is a Photoshop before Elijah realizes it is all about the collaboration request. AJ Francis then serves Elijah with a cease and desist, stating that AJ Francis has acquired the rights, image and music catalog for Elijah, Elias and Ezekiel, and states that he owns Elijah now. Elijah states that legal jargon aside, he will still perform tonight with a song called "Don't Shill Uncle Phil." AJ Francis hits Elijah with a microphone so hard that he busts him open, then leaves.

He then says that he can see through Mike Santana and that he is sick with ego, selfishness and addiction to the fans' applause and approval like everyone else, and that he will beat him because he needs neither of those things, as he is above them both. Mike Santana shows up and heads to the ring, then says that while Eric Young thinks his words and actions keep him relevant, he has not been relevant for over fifteen years.
